Commercial strategy services for life science companies

Most clients work with us as a fractional commercial lead: one senior partner across strategy, product and marketing. We also take on focused projects when you need a specific problem solved.

Fractional commercial and marketing leadership

Senior commercial leadership for life science companies that need someone to own growth, but aren't ready for a full-time executive hire.

  • Set commercial strategy: which products, markets and customers to prioritize, and why
  • Shape the product and service portfolio: gaps, bundles, launches and what to retire
  • Advise on pricing and packaging for reagents, services and software
  • Own positioning and messaging across product lines and buyers
  • Equip sales and support with the tools, training and stories they need to close
  • Run the website and ecommerce roadmap: product pages, catalog, quote and ordering flows
  • Build the operating rhythm: CRM, analytics and reporting tied to revenue
  • Manage agencies, freelancers and in-house teams, and report to leadership on what's working

Focused projects

Go-to-market strategy

Typical timeline

3-4 weeks

Launching a new product, entering a new market or relaunching something that stalled? We work out who to sell to first, what to say and where to show up.

What you get

Target buyer profiles, positioning, channel and pricing recommendations, and a 90 day launch plan.

Market and customer insight

Typical timeline

3-4 weeks

Stop guessing what scientists want. We talk to your customers, lost deals and prospects to learn how they really choose.

What you get

Customer interviews, a short readout of what we heard, and 3-5 clear recommendations for product, positioning and priorities.

Positioning and messaging

Typical timeline

2-3 weeks

When every competitor claims "high quality, validated, trusted," how do you stand out? We find the claim only you can make and the proof that backs it.

What you get

A one-page positioning statement, battle card for your sales team, and recommendations for website changes.

PPC audit

Typical timeline

1 week

If paid search feels like a black box, or a money pit, this is the fastest way to see what's working.

What you get

A scorecard of your account, an estimate of wasted spend, and a prioritized fix list you or your agency can act on right away.

Funnel audit

Typical timeline

1-2 weeks

Getting traffic but not enough orders? We follow the path a scientist takes from first visit to reorder and find where they drop off.

What you get

A visual map of your buyer journey, the biggest leaks ranked by impact, and recommendations for quick wins.

Something else in mind?

Typical timeline

Scoped together

Pricing reviews, sales enablement, content strategy, commercial health checks and more.

What you get

A short proposal within a few days of our call, with scope, timeline and fee.
