Impole forms Tactical Marketing Consulting Practice leveraging its account intelligence and sales enablement expertise.

Waltham, MA. August 1, 2010 - Impole Corporation announced the formation of a Tactical Marketing Consulting Practice which will be managed by Eugene S. Lysak, Executive Chairman and Founder.
Impole formed the practice because it has amassed a tremendous know-how by performing hundreds of programs and campaigns that have identified billions of dollars of revenues for its clients. More importantly Impole has always adjusted their methodology to new marketing trends to always provide the highest return on investment for clients.
"We formed the practice because throughout our 30 years of operations, we have encountered many new business development programs which were well planned, even superbly, and then struggled or failed to deliver the expected results because of a faulty tactic or choice of the executing team," said Mr. Lysak. "As with our standard services, we will concentrate on providing tactical advice in marketing complex solutions for the medium and large enterprise space," added Lysak.
The practice will initially concentrate on Impole's anchor clients so not to lower the quality of Impole's advice by overtaxing existing practice resources. Impole will continue to seek new business, mainly in emerging complex markets such as cloud computing, Green IT, social software, environmental sustainability and others. "We also want to supplement our clients' inside resources and be viewed by them as reliable soldiers in their difficult battle for new revenue, especially now in this waver economy. Limited scale is dictated by a shortage of talent in this field, even at the largest enterprises, as it is viewed as somewhat of a mundane and limited advancement by new workforce entrants."

Arrow resellers use Impole to acquire new accounts.
Waltham, MA. May 23, 2010 - Recently Mark Hurd, HP CEO said to HP's channel partners, "I need your help. We're underrepresented in the U.S. Our win rate is too high. Now you don't hear that too often. Because our proposal rate is too low. We have to be able to bid on the whole market."
Arrow's HP Enterprise Computing Solutions Group [ECS], is targeting and winning new business in "net new" accounts with the help of Impole. Penetrating accounts where there is no prior business relationship is far more difficult than developing relationships already established. That's why Impole helps the Arrow partners identify the situations where there's an opportunity to start a dialog and bridges the HP partner into the account.
"This is the best profiling information we've ever seen. You've verified information we already knew about the account and engaged with people that we hadn't been able to reach. This is terrific!" said one Systems Integrator VP Sales.
