Research On Call

Sometimes you just need more resources, different talent, more hours, a different perspective, an objective perspective, and/or an offsite team. That’s us. We work with our Research On Call clients to support their secondary and primary research efforts –  some take a few hours, some take a few weeks – through out the year and produce data and insights that are needed to drive their business forward.

Our Research on Call clients sign up for annual packages of research hours* and discounts on additional hours when/if needed. This retainer approach enables Ceatro to become an integrated part of the client’s team and seamlessly jump in when called.

How it works: Typically, we spend a few hours kicking off the new relationship – learning the organizations, product, customer, and supplier structure, and assessing current and upcoming research needs.  We establish a process and preferred communication style with each client so that we can to clarify and estimate each request –  including the time it will take, when it is needed, what level of detail, veracity, and polish is needed, and what the output format should be – and then we commit to a delivery date. We stay in touch with our client as needed or as requested which may include periodic emails, meetings, interim deliverables, and/or presentations. And once that request is done, we wait to hear from them when they need us next.

*If your needs include both research and consulting services we can create a blended package of Research On Call and Consultant On Call hours
