Decision-Ready Market Intelligence

Business intelligence and buying signals captured from interviews with your prospects, buyers, or customers.

What Decision-Ready Market Intelligence Means

ML’s former Voice of Customer offering has evolved into Decision-Ready Market Intelligence to better reflect how this offering delivers the information our clients need to make high-stakes growth decisions. The work itself has not changed; only how we describe it has. Decision-Ready Market Intelligence helps revenue leaders understand how their market actually makes decisions. Rather than relying solely on surveys, dashboards, or internal reporting, ML gathers business intelligence and buying signals directly from conversations with prospects, buyers, and customers. Those conversations are then interpreted to help leaders make stronger decisions about growth, positioning, retention, and expansion.
“We selected MarketLauncher to conduct our ongoing assessment surveys because of the way they approached the strategy; they really worked to understand our business and what we’re trying to accomplish. The MarketLauncher program has given us qualitative information that we can use to understand both sides; our losses and wins, how our constituents are thinking, what’s on their minds in their own words. That’s valuable data for us.” ​

What Makes This Service Different?

Decision-Ready Market Intelligence is not survey-based Voice of Customer. It is not generic syndicated research. It is not limited to internal sales data or dashboards.

It is interview-based intelligence captured directly from stakeholders in your market and translated into actionable insight through a B2B complex-sales lens. That is what makes the output more relevant to real revenue and growth decisions.

Decision-Ready Market Intelligence gives clients a clearer view into how revenue decisions are actually made

“Through structured conversations with prospects, buyers, and customers, we uncover the signals that help leaders understand market readiness, improve win rates, and identify opportunities for retention, upselling, and expansion.

Whether the goal is exploring a new market, understanding why deals are won or lost, or strengthening existing customer relationships, the methodology is the same: listen carefully, ask the right questions, and translate those insights into practical actions that support smarter growth decisions.”

-- Michelle Haarde, Senior VP Account Strategy

An Ongoing Intelligence System

Decision-Ready Market Intelligence programs are more than a one-time project. They can be deployed for a specific initiative or built as an ongoing intelligence system. As interviews accumulate across deals, accounts, markets, and segments, patterns begin to emerge. Those patterns help leadership teams refine positioning, improve win rates, identify expansion opportunities, and prioritize where to invest next.

Evidence of Impact

When the right conversations happen consistently, the resulting intelligence can influence far more than a single decision. Over time, it can shape positioning, account strategy, market prioritization, and growth planning.

Sharpen positioning. Buyer interviews reveal which decision factors carry the most weight in vendor selection, helping companies refine how they present their value in competitive markets.

Reduce risk before investing. Prospect interviews uncover differences in market readiness, buying triggers, and solution gaps, helping teams focus on the right segments and geographies before committing resources.

Guide account growth. Customer interviews surface renewal risk, expansion appetite, and perceived value signals that help account teams and leadership make better decisions within existing relationships.
