METHOD & DELIVERABLES

Practical work. Decision-ready outputs.

These are illustrative engagement components. Activities, outputs, quantities, and timing are defined in a tailored proposal.

01

Define the channel model

Compare wholesale, retail, distributor, and e-commerce routes. Clarify who would own selling, inventory, promotion, and customer support.

02

Research and prepare outreach

Review product portfolios, customer reach, coverage, and contact points. Tailor the value proposition and proposed terms to priority prospects.

03

Use responses to move discussions forward

Record interest, reasons for declining, and questions about terms. Coordinate additional materials, samples, and follow-up meetings.

The decision this work supports

Which partners and commercial models are worth pursuing?

WHAT WE LOOK AT

Three questions to sharpen the decision.

Examples of questions explored during scoping
FocusQuestion
Product fitDoes the offer fit the partner’s portfolio and customers?
ResponsibilitiesWho handles promotion costs, inventory, returns, and customer support?
Selection criteriaCan the partner explain its sales plan and reporting approach?

START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW

What to bring to the first conversation.

Product information, target customers, proposed terms, existing channels, and any channel conflicts.

You do not need every document ready. Team responsibilities, fees, and any specialist involvement are confirmed for each project.

Can we request a focused partner search?

A project can focus on research or initial outreach. We assess the product and market before proposing a scope; introductions and agreements are not guaranteed.
