Delivering Results for Our Clients

“Frehner-Jens helped us make smarter decisions on how to best commercialize our proprietary technology beyond our legacy Hunting target consumers. We’ve hired them multiple times based on their unique and practical approach to determining the best path forward by “blueprinting and prototyping” a range of different options, enabling us to clearly understand which path is likely to drive incremental revenue and profit.”

Their expertise and Fast-Forward approach helped us identify targets, a pricing structure, sales channel focus and product formulation choices that significantly improved the expected value of the business.

“A part of our business has complex and overlapping revenue streams that are not being reflected in any available data set. Frehner-Jens helped us model the revenue pools to develop a more complete snapshot of the revenue contribution in order to drive key strategic choices and secure organizational alignment.

“We specialize in placing some of the top marketers and brand-builders in the world. We know — and our candidates know — what it takes to get new business into the market. But even the best need more capacity, and even the best lack some of the skills associated with launching new business. We’ve referred Frehner-Jens to a number of our clients, and will keep recommending them.”
