1. The journey to playing rougher, is learning to play differently
2. Our Vision Coach individuals… and teams…for the emotional reward of having competent people (owners and service providers) exceed their own performance expectations…through the power of diverse thinking, broader collaboration, and simple actions…
3. Wayne O’Neill & Associates Wayne O’Neill & Associates (WOA) coaches service providers on how to build sustainable accounts by connecting with target clients, and by working collaboratively to aggregate internal and external client intelligence. All intelligence activity is then integrated with our clients’ existing linear sales processes (including off-the-shelf or custom CRM software, ie: Deltek or Salesforce). Our clients are primarily national or multi-regional firms who interact in three key spaces: Strategic Intent, Strategic IT, and Project Delivery. More than half of our practice is coaching owner/client leadership on how to leverage the sophisticated firms they deal with. Week in and week out, we are listening to the leadership levels of these firms, who are buying complex services and the respective technology. Our staff is comprised of professionals with coaching, project management, and previous owner backgrounds; WOA executes in a consistent, results-driven approach. We are in the Impact business.
4. WOA Approach The Wayne O’Neill & Associates (WOA) approach to client intelligence is based on a set of chronologically deployed tools. Our methodology focuses on uncovering the business and political issues that truly shape projects and influence decision-makers; the “story behind the story.” We blend these issue-based clues with the redefinition of a potential client’s organization chart; the real who’s who of decision making. From this authentic intelligence, we then formulate strategic positioning tacticsto identify solutions opportunities and develop valuable projects. This approach minimizes what often remains unknown through traditional business development models, regardless of your staff’s talent or diligence. WOA methodology expedites the account development cycle by maximizing the decision-making ability of leadership teams and allowing organizations to focus on the most profitable (and winnable) accounts.

8. Two Sides, One Problem Owners are investing more time and effort than ever before to explore service delivery improvement in multi-dimensional ways… …However, there is consistent evidence that service providers are not listening to the complexities of most clients’ quest to leverage sophisticated services and technologies as tools…
9. The Resolution WOA teaches service providers how to transform their top-line growth process from the traditional, technical sales model, to one that is focused on connecting. We coach the effective leveraging of client intelligence through better internal teamwork and external collaboration. Anyone can sell; but when you really understand your potential clients, you can impact them with definitive solutions-- not just transactions. We also help owners to more effectively understand and leverage the sophisticated service providers they interact with. By assessing project readiness with a deeper “how” and “why” focus, the WOA perspective facilitates comprehensive and creative solutions through collaboration. Both sides of our practice provide insight to the other side, resulting in a more accurate understanding of the key business issues and needs that are driving today’s companies.
11. What Is Client Intelligence? The business and political issuesthat drive decision-making in your client’s cultures The real organization chartin your client’s company; beyond the official decision maker, the other key influencers “hiding in plain sight” The initiatives of their strategic growth plan and the execution groundwork being laid to move toward those goals Meaning behind the meaning; the “why”, not just the “what”.

15. What does connectionmean? Connection is the sense your target clients get when your team grasps the “issues behind the issues”. When you take the time to develop a nuanced understanding of the “why” behind all of the obvious “whats”, then you are sending a loud message to your potential clients.
