CASE STUDY  - USA WORKSHOP : 101 GOLDEN RULES FOR SALES SUCCESS

Denisonboston was interested to strengthen and grow its USA business.
The 101 Golden Rules for Sales Success in the USA was the ideal platform for him to understand everything that was to be known. In less than a day, Jonathan Boston could set up a new and workable strategy and action plan. As he was attending a trade show a few weeks later, matters had to be dealt in a swift and professional manner.

PARVEEN COUTURE – Farakh Parveen: “This workshop is the Rolls Royce of Fashion information on the US market”

MINA UK – Tae Min Oh: “Every information is so useful. I will strongly recommend this seminar to anyone who wishes to know about the US market. It was very useful !!”

CASE STUDY  - Agent Search for Demoiselle

Demoiselle, a womenswear brand originating from China with distribution in the USA, wanted to open up the European market.

We identified the UK a prime market for them to start and, within 3 weeks, a distributor was identified and signed in. A further search was coducted in several countries and 2 additional agents were joining the Demoiselle brand.

Jessie from Demoiselle states the benefits of working with GFM: "GFM has the network to identify the right agents or distributors but most importantly, the knowledge, market information and overall expertise of Europe was instrumental for us to understand the changes we had to operate and make the partners with those agents a real success. I would recommend GFM to brands looking to open the European market."
