Service businesses selling considered engagements to committees rather than individuals.
Several people have to agree, and the one who found you is rarely the one who signs. Marketing has to arm an internal champion.
Material for the champion, the sceptic and the finance approver.
Reporting on influenced pipeline rather than last-click leads.
Spend concentrated on the accounts worth winning.
Case detail specific enough to be credible to a peer.

Often yes, and we will tell you plainly if not. The categories listed are where we have the most pattern recognition, but the underlying discipline transfers to most considered-purchase businesses.
Not within the same category and market. Exclusivity in your segment is part of the arrangement, which is one reason we take on a limited number of clients.
Because the tactic changes even when the principle does not. A dental practice is won in local search; a jewellery house is won over a six-month consideration cycle. Generic retainers charge you for the average of every category.

Yes. Market entry usually begins with the diagnosis extended to cover the new territory: demand, competitors, search behaviour and what the brand can credibly claim there.
The first two weeks are spent doing exactly that. In a category we already know, the diagnosis is faster and sharper, which is the practical benefit of a narrow client list.
Tell us the situation and we will say what we would do first, including the parts you could reasonably do yourselves.
