B2B and B2C Market Strategy 

Business

Qwest was nearing completion of their new and industry first fiber optic network. The company offers direct telecom and Internet services to business, government and residential in the western part of the United States.

Challenge

The company was rapidly moving into the next phase of their business plan. The Business and Consumer Groups were now being created and Woodstock Group was directed to assist Qwest Managers in ramping up both business units.

Approach / Solution B2B

Woodstock Group provided direct on-site management support in the Partner Business Group, which entailed the management of negotiations, completion of all LOI's and Contracts, and the required Provisioning services between Qwest and the new business partner.

In the same Qwest business unit, Woodstock Group managed the successful process of:

  • Selecting the business partner
  • Constructing the required RFP
  • Managing the Government presentation and subsequent procedures presentations
  • Culminating in winning the prestigious contract for broadband and all Internet access for Denver International Airport

Approach / Solution B2C

Like the business unit, the Qwest Consumer unit was focused on scaling through acquisitions and partners. Through our extended assignment, Woodstock Group successfully managed the process of developing; negotiating and completing required contracts with new consumer business partners that subsequently enabled Qwest to access over 50 million potential new consumers.

Services included but were not limited to:

  • Product Reviews
  • Launch plans
  • Partner and Affinity Contracts
  • Acquisition Models
  • Government Contracts
  • Internet Marketing & Sales Expansion
  • Direct Marketing Initiatives
  • Retail Presence

Results

These new nation-wide partnerships, which involved voice, data and wireless product sales and distribution, enabled Qwest to scale quickly and efficiently in B2B and B2C markets.
