Business- and Distribution Partner Search
Finding the ideal Business Partner
Whether agent, distributor, importer, supplier or licensee. The professional business partner search is one of our core businesses!
The search for suitable partners at the local market or abroad requires much more than a look in the Yellow Pages or the selection based on a database query. The process of searching for the ideal business partner or sales representative is often dominated by contacts at trade shows and unsolicited letters. But a well-planned approach is the exception. This can rapidly lead to total loss of foreign activities, especially in the globalized business world.
Our professional approach filters the suitable candidates in several steps, leading to a short list of potential business partners or distributors. Complemented by our partners abroad, we identify the candidates fitting best to your products and to your company.
The selection of appropriate partners is a multistep process:
1. Creating a profile of requirements for potential business partners and resellers
- Industry & Function at the market
- Size and structure of the company
- Marketing & Sales
- Financial information
- Qualification of staff
- Level of technical equipment
- Other services (pre sales-/after sales service)
- Location & Logistics
2. Initial selection of potential business or sales
- Searching through databases, foreign partners, personal interviews
- Evaluation of potential candidates against a list of criteria
3. Selection of the top candidates
- Protection and improvement of information
- Review of the motivation for a distribution partnership
- How can the potential distribution imagine a collaboration?
4. Shortlist of top candidates
- Company profiles of each company
- Recommendations for further action
5. Presentation of a shortlist of potential candidates
