Resource BDM has over a decade of experience designing and performing primary and secondary research for resource companies. We produce Market Intelligence and Analysis to support strategy development, reduce decision making risk, and communicate to investors a comprehensive understanding of the market. Our specialty is technical industries and markets.

Services
Resource BDM supports the market and competitive intelligence needs of a company so it can be proactive in business and strategy planning. We research and analyze markets to (1) identify and measure new opportunities, (2) support financing or feasibility proposals, and (3) inform product development decisions and resource allocation priorities. We can assess market potential, prepare the market for a new entrant, and provide clients with critical information to market planning.  We have experience evaluating the market strength and potential of acquisition targets. Resource BDM is the marketing member of the technical team.

Success Stories
Resource BDM performed the market feasibility (alongside a $6 million engineering feasibility) for a multi-million dollar capital investment and expansion into a new raw material market in a mature industry (smelting). We facilitated supply relationships that led to Letters of Intent critical to obtaining ultimate board approval for the $200 m investment. (2011)

Resource BDM was responsible for obtaining market intelligence (certification of new, competitive product; loss of largest customer) which led to the immediate cancellation of a multi-million dollar acquisition after significant engineering sunk costs. (2005)

Relationships & Information
If information is power, then relationships are fuel. Resource BDM is a strong believer in the power of relationships to business. We have worked successfully connecting with key industry contacts on our clients' behalf. RBDM has led initiatives involving contact with current customers, future consumers, competitors, downstream channel members, investors, international trading companies, and the media. Essentially, we build relationships and gather information. Success at one, improves the likelihood of success at the other.

We are professional and personable when making contact on our client's behalf.  Contact with industry partners through a professional, neutral third party demonstrates a company's interest in proactively maintaining contact, and builds understanding and relationships. We have experience building professional relationships through numerous channels including in person at conferences, and by email or phone.

Periodic review of a company's market(s) captures changes, and identifies challenges and opportunities as they develop. This information is valuable to business planning and mandatory to entering a new market.

All projects are managed using TimeSlice software. TimeSlice is an excellent time tracking and management tool for small business. Resource BDM has used TimeSlice for over ten years and are confident it contributes to our success. We are happy to share time records for all projects with clients.
