Industrial market research and consulting refers to professional services that analyze, evaluate and advise on the current market situation, trends, competition and opportunities in the industrial field. Industrial market research consulting can help customers understand their own market environment, formulate reasonable strategies and decisions, improve competitiveness and profitability.

However, industrial market research consulting is not a simple task. It requires good communication and cooperation between consultants and customers to achieve the best results. If the communication and cooperation is not smooth, it may lead to inaccurate, incomplete and impractical consultation results, and even errors and deviations. Such consultation is a unilateral consultation, which can not meet the needs and expectations of customers, nor can it reflect the professional level of consultants.

So, how to establish good communication and cooperation, so that your industrial market research consulting is no longer unilateral? This article will discuss from the following three aspects:

The importance of communication and collaboration

Communication and cooperation are key factors in the success of industrial market research consulting, and they can bring benefits in the following areas:

Improve the quality and volume of information. Communication can enable the consultant to obtain relevant information provided by the client, such as the client's background, goals, problems, needs, etc.; it can also enable the client to obtain relevant information provided by the consultant, such as consulting methods, processes, results, suggestions, etc. This information is an indispensable basic data in the consultation process. The more complete, accurate and timely, the more conducive to effective analysis and evaluation. Cooperation can enable both parties to share information resources, such as market reports, industry data, expert opinions, etc.; it can also enable both parties to jointly collect information, such as conducting questionnaires, interviews, observations, etc. This information is an indispensable supplementary data in the consultation process. The richer, deeper, and more real-time, the more conducive to comprehensive analysis and evaluation.

Enhance the pertinence and practicality of consultation. Communication can enable the consultant to understand the real needs and expectations of the customer, such as what problems the customer wants to solve, what goals to achieve, what difficulties and challenges, etc.; it can also enable the customer to understand the professional capabilities and advantages of the consultant, such as what the consultant has Experience, methods, tools, cases, etc. This understanding can help both parties determine the scope, direction, focus and approach of the consultation, making the consultation more specific to the client's specific situation and needs, rather than one-size-fits-all or vague. Cooperation can enable both parties to jointly formulate consulting plans, goals, standards and processes, such as what consensus to reach, what principles to follow, what methods to adopt, and what tasks to divide. These developments can help both parties to clarify the steps, time, results and evaluation of the consultation, so that the consultation is more in line with the actual situation and needs of the client, rather than arbitrary or ideal.

Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of consultation. Communication can enable both parties to communicate the progress, problems, feedback and improvement of consultation in a timely manner. For example, both parties should report the work situation in a timely manner, solve the difficulties encountered in a timely manner, adjust the work plan in a timely manner, and confirm the work results in a timely manner. These exchanges can help both parties keep the consultation going smoothly and avoid misunderstandings, delays, repetitions or omissions. Cooperation can enable both parties to support each other and coordinate the implementation, verification, optimization and application of consulting. For example, both parties should provide necessary support to each other, coordinate necessary resources to each other, verify the quality of work, optimize working methods and apply work results to each other. This support and coordination can help both parties maintain the efficient completion of the consultation and improve the quality, credibility and feasibility of the consultation.

Principles of Communication and Cooperation

Communication and cooperation is an art as well as a science. In order to establish good communication and cooperation, the following principles need to be followed:

Respect for principles. Respect is the basis of communication and cooperation. Without respect, there is no trust and understanding. The principle of respect requires both parties to respect each other's identity, status, role and responsibility, respect each other's knowledge, experience, ability and contribution, and respect each other's opinions, suggestions, feedback and evaluation. The principle of respect also requires both parties to refrain from belittling, attacking, accusing or interfering with each other.

The principle of good faith. Honesty is the guarantee of communication and cooperation. Without honesty, there will be no credibility and effect. The principle of good faith requires both parties to provide information honestly, not to conceal, not to exaggerate, not to distort; to express their wishes sincerely, not to cheat, not to use, not to force; to fulfill their promises honestly, not to violate, not to shirk, not to delay.

Principles of communication. Communication is the core of communication and cooperation. Without communication, there is no information and understanding. The principle of communication requires both parties to effectively transmit information without ambiguity, redundancy or omission; receive information effectively without prejudice, interruption or neglect; feedback information effectively without ambiguity, negation or conflict.

The principle of cooperation. Cooperation is the goal of communication and cooperation. Without cooperation, there will be no consensus and results. The principle of cooperation requires both parties to actively participate in consulting, not passive, not procrastinating, not perfunctory; actively cooperate in consulting, not isolated, not confrontational, not competitive; actively innovative consulting, not stubborn, not conservative, not rigid.

Methods of communication and cooperation

Communication and cooperation are both a skill and a strategy. In order to achieve good communication and cooperation, the following methods need to be adopted:

Establish mechanisms for communication and cooperation. The mechanism is the norm of communication and cooperation, which can specify the mode, frequency, content and standard of communication and cooperation between the two parties in the consultation process. For example, the two sides can establish regular communication meetings to clarify the time, place, personnel and agenda of the meeting; the two sides can establish a shared information platform to clarify the function, authority, format and update of the platform; the two sides can establish an interactive evaluation system to clarify the indicators, methods, timing and results of the evaluation.

Use communication and cooperation skills. Skill is a tool for communication and cooperation, which can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of communication and cooperation between the two parties in the consultation process. For example, both parties can use listening skills to actively pay attention to each other's information and express empathy and concern; both parties can use questioning skills to actively obtain each other's information and express concern and understanding; both parties can use expression skills to actively share their own information and express opinions and suggestions.

Use the resources of communication and collaboration. Resources are the support of communication and cooperation, which can increase the confidence and motivation of communication and cooperation between both parties in the consultation process. For example, both parties can use professional resources, experts, institutions, literature, etc. to improve the quality and credibility of consultation; both parties can use interpersonal resources, with the help of leaders, colleagues, friends, etc. to improve the support and influence of consultation; both parties can Use emotional resources, with praise, encouragement, gratitude, etc. to improve the enthusiasm and satisfaction of consultation.
