How We Engage
The stages of a market entry consulting engagement — from fit call through evidence, recommendations, and optional field work.
Market entry consulting works best when both sides know the sequence. This page outlines how Pacific Market Entry Partners typically runs an engagement for export-oriented businesses.
1. Fit call
Thirty minutes to confirm product category, capacity, certifications, and whether our Australia–ASEAN–Pacific focus matches your aims. No fee.
2. Written scope
We send a one- to two-page scope naming deliverables, timeline, fee, and exclusions. Work starts after you accept and the deposit clears.
3. Evidence pack
You share pack artwork, lab results, price lists, and prior overseas notes. Gaps here are the usual cause of timeline slips.
4. Analysis & checkpoints
We research, score options, and hold scheduled reviews so surprises surface early — especially when a favoured market scores poorly.
5. Delivery & next decisions
You receive the pathway, brief, or search pack plus a walkthrough. Optional next steps — distributor search or a scoping visit — are quoted separately.
Working rhythm
Most Pathway and Search work happens from our Auckland desk with video workshops. Scoping visits are scheduled only after a market is chosen and a meeting agenda exists. We do not sell open-ended retainers as a default.
