Our approach at "Matchmaking" - an example:
- Initial meeting:
You have most likely already gathered information on export markets. If not, we can perform this task for you. After this meeting we will send you a short survey. Hat way we are informed about your products, your company, your market and your wishes concerning the representation you are looking for.
- Go/No-go:
Now the go/no-go decision can be made.
- Exportplan:
If needed we will conduct practical market research. At this stage we will concentrate on the market volume, structure and development, the competition and marketing mix. A preferred marketing strategy will be presented, as well as an investment budget.
Based on this information you will decide how to approach the market.
- Actual results: Our core business!
The essence of our business is to carry out your decisions.
Perhaps dealers have to be appointed. EMH can select potential candidates. "Export Matchmaking" is our profession! Maybe you want to sell directly and are looking for potential customers or setup a sales office. We can do this for you as well.
If you need a person to represent you, EMH can do a preliminary screening of candidates, and present the best candidate(s) to you.
Next we will arrange a program for you to visit the candidate dealers. We will book your hotel and accompany you during these visits. That way we will save you time! All our efforts are focused on a quick start of your commercial activities.
Even after this phase you can rely on our support with your activities.
All of which are time consuming and difficult tasks. But that is what we want to do for you. Based in the Netherlands we are very time efficient, an advantage to you.
