Welcome We’re pretty passionate about connections… so that’s what we do.

We connect with innovative companies committed to creating change and making a difference. We also work with you to connect your brand to your team and future customers.

So, what’s different? We’re not your average consulting group that charges a lot, but does a little. From our first meeting, we will immerse our team into your company and brand to ensure the strategy we develop is innovative and the story we tell is authentic.

What you get in return is a full-service team ready to get results.

The power of sales connectivity In short, we create strategies for important interactions between

sales and marketing. Based on your unique needs, we develop strategies that link your sales, channel and marketing approaches.

Consistency among these methodologies ultimately reduces headaches and money for you.

From how and where to hire field sales teams, to knowing the companies that make great channel partners – our experience in regional and global sales pays dividends for your future success.

Commissions, territories and pricing plans are just the beginning of what 2N2 can provide. And, more than that, we deliver replicable tools and processes for you to expand to new channels, partners or territories.

Totally targeted touchpoints Pretty words alone don’t engage readers to action. Authenticity to your brand, your values and to your customers will ultimately payoff with loyalty and long-term commitment. At 2N2, we do craft pretty words that tell authentic stories, but more than that, we turn those interactions into revenue.

How? Touchpoint integration. From the first introduction on your website to product packaging to your sales team pitches, every touchpoint communicates your brand, your commitment and your value.

Accountable actions for sales and marketing Yes, we can do your brochures and your newsletters. But, really let’s start at the beginning. Your brand is your identity. 2N2 works to understand your brand, from your perspective and from your customer. We start with that in a strategic and systematic way. We work with you to discover your uniqueness, develop goals and measurables and create programs and tactics. We can deliver long-term brand plans or short-term tactical plans. Our specialty lies in creating action plans that are integrated with sales and channel strategies, therefore converting interactions to leads and relationships.

Your COMPANY From our first meeting, we will immerse our team into your company and brand to ensure the strategy we develop is innovative and the story we tell is authentic.
