The hard questions, answered plainly
What manufacturers ask us before they start — including the questions most companies avoid. If your question is not here, ask it on a free 30-minute call. You get the same plain answer.
WHAT YOU GET
What you get
What counts as a meeting?
A meeting is a call or a visit with the person who decides about buying. The company is one you approved. The person said yes to talking about your product. A contact is not a meeting. A “maybe” is not a meeting. If the buyer does not show up, we book the meeting again — it does not count toward your 10.
What exactly does the guarantee say?
Minimum 10 meetings with buyers you approved in your first project. If we reach fewer, we continue at no extra cost until you have all 10. You never pay twice for the same result.
What happens after the first project?
You decide. Continue in the same country, add a new one, or stop. There is no long contract. The buyers you met stay your contacts.
How fast do the first meetings come?
Usually 2–3 weeks after we start writing to buyers. That is about week 5 or 6 after your first call. The first weeks go into building your buyer list, which you approve. We agree the exact dates for your product and country on the first call.
THE HARD QUESTIONS
The hard questions
How are you different from a sales agent or an export consultant?
A sales agent sells from their own contacts and takes a commission on every sale. A consultant gives you a plan and you do the work. We do neither. We bring you to the table with buyers you chose and approved. Then we step back. The relationship, the terms and the deal are yours. No commission.
We already have a distributor in that country.
Most producers have one partner for “the whole country”. In practice that means a few shops in one region, or one type of customer. We open the regions and customer types your partner does not reach. You approve every company, so we never write to a buyer you want to protect.
We don’t speak the buyer’s language.
You don’t need to. We write the first messages in the language the buyer expects — German in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, English in the Nordics. People who sell in that language write them. The meeting itself is usually in English.
We tried to reach foreign buyers ourselves. Nothing happened.
That is normal. Buyers get many emails and ignore most of them. Three things make the difference: the right person by name, the right moment (when they are choosing new products), and the right documents ready. Doing all three for many companies is a full-time job. That is the job we do.
What if buyers don’t reply?
You never chase anyone. Only buyers who already said yes reach your calendar. You do not spend a minute on the ones who stay silent.
Our product needs certificates. Will buyers even talk to us?
Supermarkets and most distributors in Europe ask for a food-safety certificate first — usually IFS or BRCGS. Some products need more: for example meat in Germany (QS) or organic products (Bio). We check what each buyer requires before we write to them. Your first meetings are with buyers you can supply today.
FIT AND SCOPE
Fit and scope
Which countries do you cover?
Most of our work is for producers from Central Europe selling to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Nordics, Czechia and nearby countries. We add new countries all the time. If your country is not on our export markets page, book a call. We will tell you honestly if we can reach your buyers there.
Who do you say no to?
We say no on the first call in three cases. Your product is not ready for export. You want to pay only for results. Or nobody on your side can take the meetings. An honest no on day one is better than a bad quarter for both of us.
How do I see what is happening?
In your dashboard, live. Every message we send and every reply. You approve every company and every message before we send anything. Nothing happens behind your back.
Looking for market specifics? Every export market page answers the market’s own hard questions — and the free buyer maps show who buys what, channel by channel.
