At Kvadrant Consulting, we see the next frontier for sustainable competitive advantage in the commercial engine

We believe that growth certainly can come from classic growth levers; raising prices, developing new products, outspending competitors, and hiring more salespeople with aggressive incentives. But we also believe that there’s a smarter, better, and more effective way to grow.  

The commercial engine—the combination of people, processes, and technology within sales and marketing teams—is complex and difficult to replicate. Unlike a product, you can’t buy a well-oiled commercial engine off a production line, nor can it be reverse-engineered from code or design. It’s a sophisticated system of interlocking parts, some visible, many hidden.
