CMB's Fast Start™ Approach
CMB Fast Start™
At CMB, we're passionate about investor relations. We are experts on improving the valuation of companies. Our focus on value means creating, maintaining and enhancing corporate credibility.
CMB Fast Start™
At CMB we recognize the value of getting accounts off to a fast start. To us, that means getting immersed in your company and delivering a result to a client within 30-60 days of our hire.
Our Fast Start program is part of every CMB engagement and has been proven to build trust in the client-agency relationship early on. We know it doesn’t sound very strategic but we believe in delivering immediate results while simultaneously working on a strategic direction.
Our typical client process begins with a three-step approach:
PHASE #1: PERCEPTION RESEARCH, ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Perception Research
CMB’s relationship with a new client begins with a perception study of how a company is perceived among investors and financial media opinion makers.
- Investor understanding of our growth strategies and credibility?
- What is preventing investors from taking more of an interest in our stock?
- Who are potential investors and why are they not current owners?
- What needs to be done to change investor perception?
- What misperceptions do capital markets and financial media have about us and our stock?
Due Diligence
We also perform due diligence briefings with company spokespersons to understand their company’s vision and investment proposition, and to recommend appropriate activities to match your goals. How can that message be properly communicated to the capital markets?
Great Ideas and Strategic Insights
CMB’s in-person report provides each client with the appropriate plan to improve the valuation and create, maintain, and enhance corporate credibility. We have worked with over 200 clients to grow equity value.
PHASE #2: IMPLEMENTATION
Using the data obtained in Phase # 1 above, we provide hands-on guidance for implementation that will produce the desired results.
PHASE #3: ONGOING GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT
We are available to provide ongoing guidance and support to achieve the highest sustainable value for the company’s securities.
