Why are your commercial functions not delivering the growth you desire?
The three signs of a broken revenue engine.

Lack of formal strategy

While your science is sound, a lack of comprehensive commercial strategy can lead to addressing the wrong markets or buyers, creating severe revenue bottlenecks down the line.

Fragmented systems

Managing pipelines in Excel works early on, but sustainable scaling requires an integrated CRM and tech stack. Without it, the company lacks data transparency and growth initiative cannot be data-driven.

Lacking cohesive messaging

Deep scientific expertise exists internally, but without a structured messaging framework, aligned between marketing and business development, your customers never understand the full value of your offering.

Why CPTRQ Consulting?

Not another consultant.

Not another agency.

Deeper than agencies. More actionable than consultants. Faster than an internal build.

If you want to grow, you can hire a strategy consultant, a marketing agency or a BD Manager. But none of these will cover all your bases. CPTRQ Consulting delivers the integrated whole.

CPTRQ vs. Management Consultants

They design strategy. Produce slides. Leave execution to someone else. No system. No implementation. No enablement.

CPTRQ Advantage

  • Strategy + system implementation + enablement in one model

  • Senior involvement throughout — no junior handoff

CPTRQ vs. Marketing Agencies

They execute campaigns without commercial strategy. Optimise for leads, not pipeline. Create dependency, not capability.

CPTRQ Advantage

  • Strategy & System-first, not campaign-first

  • BD and marketing integrated

  • Focus on revenue and pipeline, not vanity metrics

CPTRQ vs. Internal Hire

3–6 month ramp-up. High fixed cost. No experience in building integrated Systems.

CPTRQ Advantage

  • Immediate deployment

  • Cross-functional expertise: strategy, systems, BD, marketing

  • No long-term fixed cost

Where the system has been built

Built in-house at a peptide CDMO: from word-of-mouth acquisition and a sales process in Excel files to a structured, integrated commercial system — quote-to-proposal rate 50 to 75 %, inquiries +150 %, three consecutive record months of order intake.

Built in-house · 2024–2026CDMOGermany

Building a commercial function from zero ahead of capacity expansion

Challenge
As Head of Marketing & BD: a peptide-focused CDMO had invested into GMP manufacturing capacity but lacked the commercial system to fill it. No got-to-market strategy, no website, no CRM, no project management, no pipeline transparency. The company had a good brand in the transactional business but was unknown in the GMP manufacturing industry.

  • Go-to-market Strategy & Positioning

  • CRM and integrated project management setup with pipeline stages and KPI Dashboard

  • Full Implementation of digital marketing incl. website relaunch and SEO/SEA

  • Social media presence implementation and content strategy

  • Tradeshow strategy and execution

Result: quote-to-proposal rate 50 to 75 %, inquiries +150 %, three consecutive record months of order intake.

Built from zero · 2020–2021Data start-upGermany

From an idea to six corporate pilot customers in six months

Challenge
A start-up selling relocation data to insurers, telecoms and energy providers. An idea, no customers, no commercial assets, no one selling. Built as co-investor and head of marketing & sales at around 20 hours a week.

What we built

  • Market assessment across energy, insurance and telecoms

  • Go-to-market strategy, positioning and five-tier subscription pricing

  • Lead database of about 1,000 contacts and outreach funnels per industry

  • CRM with KPI tracking

  • Messaging architecture and sales scripts, used by the founders themselves

Result: 30 first calls and 6 corporate pilot customers within six months, among them a DAX-listed insurer, Germany’s largest mobile operator and two regional energy utilities.

  • Website Relaunch incl. SEO and SEA

  • Implementation of Social Media Presence
