A patented product with zero sales became the fastest-growing product in the company

What this case study covers

A Fortune 500 supplier held a patented, differentiated technology it could not sell — zero sales, zero trials, years of R&D behind it, and messaging built around a discharge limit that did not exist. A rebuilt 7-step marketing and launch process fixed the foundation: customer, competition, positioning, and validated value. The result was a 26% margin increase, 130% of growth target in Years 1 and 2, and the fastest-growing product in the company.
