Distributor & Partner Search

The right distributor is worth more than a thousand contacts.

If your strategy is to focus on specific countries, I conduct a structured partner search — distributors, importers, agents and strategic local partners — within the markets you select. Not a list of names: a shortlist of genuinely interested, pre-qualified partners, with meetings organised.

The approach

Methodical. Market by market.

1
Define

The ideal partner profile — written down first.

Channels, geographic coverage, portfolio fit, sales force, regulatory experience, logistics — and the exclusions that matter just as much, starting with partners carrying competing brands. We agree on the profile before I search, so we both know what a good answer looks like.

2
Map & qualify

From the full market to a serious long-list.

I analyse the market and identify the most relevant candidates, then qualify each one: key decision-makers, current portfolio, channels, coverage, purchasing process. Names that don't fit the profile never reach your desk.

3
Approach

Multichannel prospecting, in person where it counts.

Email, phone, LinkedIn and personal meetings — presenting your brand professionally and gauging genuine interest, not polite curiosity.

4
Introduce

Organised meetings with interested partners.

Online or in person, I organise and attend the meetings, support the first exchanges, and help you evaluate the strategic and commercial fit of each candidate.

Outcome: a shortlist of pre-qualified, genuinely interested distribution partners in your target country — plus concrete feedback on pricing, positioning, packaging and regulatory expectations, gathered from every conversation along the way.
