Supplementing quick turnaround proposal work with custom recruited subject matter experts
Crafting winning proposals for due diligence work in collaboration with private equity firms poses a formidable challenge, particularly in creating compelling pitches within tight timelines. Amidst fierce competition among consulting firms, standing out requires a distinctive edge. One strategy involves arriving at proposals armed with profound knowledge of the prospective diligence areas, a feat accomplished efficiently through expert calls.
Traditionally, the unpredictable nature of research topics for such proposals presented a hurdle. Expert networks often lack off the shelf expert profiles in smaller and emerging research areas. As a result, legacy networks will shy away from custom recruiting due to the labor intensive nature of recruitment and time constraints unique to these proposals, fearing the risk of unmaterialized expert calls despite exhaustive efforts.
"Where others see risk of wasted efforts, PXN sees an opportunity."
Where others see risk of wasted efforts, PXN sees an opportunity. A consulting team approached PXN with three distinct PE proposals spanning diverse and specialized industries—vehicle mobility conversion, MRO distribution, and ballistic-resistant windows—with a mere ~48-hour window for conducting expert consultations for each. Despite scant confirmed profiles and limited market information, PXN rose to the challenge. Swift research into these niche markets equipped us with foundational insights, enabling us to navigate market landscapes and expert populations adeptly. This empowered us to discern the individuals with the most impactful insights, providing a unique and differentiated approach to proposal work. Remarkably, within just three hours we secured custom recruits for one proposal and ultimately fulfilled the demanding 48-hour timeframe by securing recruits for all three proposals.
Empower your proposals with unparalleled industry expertise at remarkable speed, and comfortably position this industry expertise as your own.
Managing strategic pivots and last minute course correction
In the realm of primary research, the integration of qualitative and quantitative methodologies is pivotal. While expert calls offer transparency and adaptability, the same level of control isn’t always available in quantitative survey endeavors. Executing surveys flawlessly from the outset, with precise design and the utilization of ideal respondents, holds paramount importance.
A team of consultants undertook a research initiative on behalf of a professional services firm delving into the structures and impact of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) departments within workplaces. Initially, the research involved a qualitative segment engaging DEI executives at F500 firms alongside a quantitative survey targeting a broader range of respondents. Despite smooth progress in the qualitative phase, the externally outsourced survey responses revealed a misalignment with consulting team’s needs, resulting in uncertain quantitative insights.
Facing a lagging survey component, a strategic pivot became imperative. PXN collaborated with the consulting team to devise a swift and effective solution within a tight timeline—augmenting the number of expert calls while leveraging these engagements to bolster the survey's quality and respondent pool. Both the survey and expert call streams necessitated an additional ~20 participants to meet their respective objectives. Within a mere ~2 weeks, PXN not only facilitated calls with 20 experts for research consultations but also integrated these experts into the survey, reshaping the trajectory of this portion of the project.
While PXN remains adaptable to project needs at any stage, optimal outcomes stem from a strong start. PXN's comprehensive qualitative and quantitative primary research offerings empower you to leverage expert insights for a successful project launch. Our seasoned survey team ensures meticulous survey design, and our swift expert recruitment allows stress testing of surveys pre-launch, guaranteeing resonance with respondents.

In a project delving into an exceedingly niche healthcare sector, a consultant team faced the daunting task of unraveling intricate industry trends, market dynamics, growth catalysts, challenges, and key market participants.

Initially slated for seven expert engagements, this single interaction proved so uniquely insightful that the engagement team completed the research, significantly reducing costs and enabling them to advance on the final deliverable days ahead of schedule.
