Market Intelligence & Strategic Mapping

Before committing budget to a market entry, you need a clear picture of what you are walking into.

  • Target Identification – Pinpointing high-potential customers, distributors and strategic partners
  • Fitness Check – Market fit, product readiness and commercial viability for the DACH region, including regulatory requirements
  • Competitive Landscape – Pricing structures, distribution channels and real barriers to entry

Outcome: Make informed, confident decisions before committing resources.

Customer Acquisition
& Local Representation

From strategy to execution. I represent your company on the ground, personally.

  • Direct outreach to decision-makers at the right level – not assistants, not purchasing departments
  • On-site representation for trade fairs, customer visits and industry events
  • First deal closing – I lead your sales process from initial contact through negotiation to signed contract
  • Ongoing representation as your local face in the market

Outcome: Rapid market traction with measurable early wins and a credible local presence from day one.

Establishment
& Team Building

As the first customers are in place, the job is to sustain the business

  • Entity setup – Guidance on establishing a German legal structure suitable for your business model and growth stage
  • First hire – Defining the role, finding the right person and integrating them into your international organisation
  • Process integration – Connecting your operations with local knowledge in agriculture, process technology and supply chains

Outcome: A sustainable local team and infrastructure that operates independently and keeps growing.
