• Director of Business Development, International Medical Device Manufacturer
  "Knowing the market helps you plan and grow... when you don't know your market, then you get surprised... we always lost market share in the past when we got surprised... Primary Impact helped us know developments in very technical areas... apparently, they seem to find ways to sense what is being developed, tested and pursued by our competitors... that is valuable to us."
  
• Operations Manager, Vascular Access Medical Product Manufacturer
  "How our competitors responded so quickly to develop custom IV and custom catheter kits and how they introduced a much lower price kit with high quality items was answered by Primary Impact…when we realized the strong technical team that our major competitors had in place to respond to surgeon's requests we realigned our own team and eliminated our competitors' advantage over us."
  
• Director, New Products, Disposable Medical Product for Critical Care Manufacturer
  "We wanted to evaluate a antimicrobial/anticoagulant technology which would complement our existing product line…For a focus technology, Primary Impact provided a short-term and long-term value proposition involving dialysis centers and bridge catheters since they have the highest risk for infection…Primary Impact showed how the technology would reduce infection related hospitalization and reduce use of Heparin, Alteplase Recombinant, and Urokinase."
  
• Government Systems Manager, Biological Research Division
  "There is a race to decipher the human genome... Primary Impact helped us to identify the designers, architects and builders of BSL-3 and 4 (biosafety labs) throughout China...they also supplied the names, phone numbers and the research specialization of top Chinese researchers in the state government, the CAS (China Academy of Sciences), and privately funded Chinese organizations... this is above and beyond some other 'special' information we needed... Asian Bird Flu, H1N1, Anthrax, and other biological agents are always examined at these high level biocontainment facilities... "
  
• Division President, Global Material Manufacturer
  "We can rely on receiving accurate information about our competitors' costs... when we know all their costs per ton, then we can effectively compete... you always want to know what your competitors are paying and that's what Primary Impact found out... costs we receive include delivered raw materials, employee burden, natural gas and electric... "

Primary Impact delivered complete organizational charts with names, number of people, titles, education, and research focus by person... knowing about their synthesis, analytical chemistry, and biotechnology departments is invaluable... by understanding this, we now know what they are working on and can restructure for a competitive advantage to develop new molecules... "
  
• Business Manager, North American Plastic Compounder
  "Primary Impact helped find our competitors' production volume, equipment types/models, and other hard-to-get information in the U.S., China, and Europe. Yes, it does help to understand our competitor's operational costs, major customer list, and industry focus... "
  
• VP, US Road Simulation Equipment Company
  "Primary Impact delivered information from auto plants in China and now we realize the Tire Coupled Road Simulator market in China is insignificant...for us to identify this information, we would have to meet with officials inside all of the major auto plants in China...
