Go-To-Market

Entry model and sequencing

Direct, partner-led, distributor, or acquisition. Each carries a different speed, cost, and level of control, and the right answer changes by country. Getting the sequence right often matters more than getting the model perfect.

Channel and partner selection

In several Spanish-speaking markets, distribution structures are more concentrated and more relationship-driven than newcomers expect. Choosing the wrong first partner can lock a company out of the customers it most wanted for years. Diligence on partners deserves the same rigour as diligence on an acquisition.

Pricing and commercial terms

Local price expectations, payment terms, credit norms, and the negotiation practices around them, framed so a head office can approve them without feeling it has lost control.

Launch and first-year plan

A plan with owners, milestones, and a realistic view of the administrative steps that consume the first months in any new jurisdiction.

Situations this work addresses

The distributor that looked ideal

A strong local distributor with the right customer list can still be the wrong choice if it also carries a competing line or if its coverage is regional rather than national. Establishing this before signing requires conversations in the local language with people who have no incentive to volunteer it.

These are illustrative situations drawn from the kinds of problems this work addresses. They do not describe identifiable clients or transactions.
