I need to know the top 10 vendors for market research and industry benchmarking as an alternative to GLG expert interviews. We want the ability to reach experts but in a different model than phone interviews. I'm hoping for a list of vendors who either have a unique method or exclusive access to industry leaders.
Hello and thank you for asking Wonder! I understand that you are seeking the top 10 vendors for market research and industry benchmarking, that are alternatives to GLG and have models other than phone interviews. On the attached spreadsheet, I have profiled the 10 vendors. For each, I have provided their website, models for contact with experts, factors contributing towards what makes them unique from others and/or related to expert access, contact information (phone and e-mail), and any other sources used (when applicable). These companies include AlphaSights, Coleman Research, and Guidepoint.
METHODOLOGY
To choose the companies that I did, I balanced top companies with ones that met your other criteria. As the other criteria seemed to be the most important based upon your request details, I focused on finding those that met that criteria the best, and then looked for those that are well-known and successful in the industry. Please note that there are very few major companies overall, with many smaller ones. Rows 2-5 are some of the best known ones after GLG.
To locate companies, I first looked for direct competitors of GLG, such as on Owler. I then explored each company to see if they qualified before choosing it. During this process, and other research, I did not find any notable prize-driven examples that fit the outlined criteria. This does not appear to be a model that is used.
