  • Obtaining proven Templates & Systems guidance to court, close and start up new distribution lays the groundwork as you Plan To Succeed; building the plan that avoids missteps potentially leaving your product orphaned in a market or profits eaten by surprise costs.  

  • Sourcing and Signing Top Global Distribution is part art and part preparation.  The cultural negotiation style of each region is different, finding fully vetted, high-quality firms that will focus on your products and meet their sale targets, qualifying them and signing them to an agreement that holds them accountable.   We deliver more than knowledge, we deliver the means to execute this in a systematic manner including contract, IP and regulatory guidance.
