Our Story
Fairmont was born from years of experience, walking in your shoes. Our team started out as in-house VP’s of Marketing and Sales, Product Managers, and Customer Service leaders where we lived the everyday pressures associated with the responsibility of delivering a high functioning commercial engine. Through tough economic conditions, to stellar years of growth, we learned first-hand how stressful AND how rewarding marketing and sales can be.
We personally identify with your experiences, and because of that we are passionate about creating value, success, and sustainability for our clients.
Marketing and sales leaders often need help to look objectively at their commercial engine, and equally important, to have other company leaders engage in this process with them. Only then, when both marketing and sales leaders, and owners or CEOs are aligned can the company move forward to improve the weakest links. Otherwise, marketing and sales leaders commonly endure endless list of “issues of the month” handed down from on high. Hence, the birth of the MarketMD system, and the company, Fairmont, that delivers the system:
- Self-assessment by leaders across the company
- Identification of strengths and weaknesses
- Proven solutions to address issues that deliver your top ROI
