Absolutely!

Over the past 25 years, GFM Founder Thierry Bayle has worked with every key stakeholder in the fashion industry and has a deep understanding of how they interact and influence one another.

If we don’t immediately know the answer to your specific question, you’ll know within minutes—so you won’t waste your time.
In fact, we’ll go one step further and research the topic in detail for you.

Even when we don’t have the solution on the spot, we offer a proven process and smart, strategic ideas to help you move forward and reach your goals.

But don’t just take our word for it—test us anytime.

Yes, you’re absolutely right.

We fully respect your perspective and strongly believe in creating a bespoke solution tailored to your needs.

Call us and let us know what your ideal programme looks like.
And remember — we’re here not only as your business mentor but also as your Trusted Expert and Chief Operating Officer, ensuring the work gets done.

Absolutely — we get it!

Fashion brands often have events kicking off on a Saturday or Sunday.
We also understand that you might land a last-minute meeting with a department store buyer or a key service provider — and need advice right away.

We’ll always do our best to be available when you need us.

As our founder at GFM often says:
“Never assume we’ll say no — always assume we’ll say yes.”

So don’t hesitate — call us when the need arises.
We care deeply about your success, and we’re here to support you.

Absolutely — we encourage it.

Whether you're bringing a partner, employee, service provider, or even a family member (perhaps someone who needs a second opinion beyond their parents' or is seeking mentorship), we've seen it all — and it’s completely OK.

If you’re inviting a second person to join the call, feel free to let us know the purpose in advance. We’ve supported dozens of brands in similar situations and will make sure we align with your goals.

Case study: A sales manager once invited their boss to the meeting because they were struggling to shift the boss’s limiting belief that the U.S. market wasn’t worth investing in.
We helped change that perception by using real-world case studies and a logical, step-by-step approach.

In fact, three out of four of these calls involve a founder or senior leader inviting a team member — so we can embed a new management tool, develop leadership skills, or provide insights that inspire the team to think and work differently. leadership skills or share experience so that the staff decide to think and work differently. 

Absolutely.

We fully recognise the value of dedicated one-to-one sessions between you and our team.

You’ll also benefit from a discounted rate for any additional 1-to-1 mentoring sessions you choose to book.

And remember — we don’t just act as your business mentor.
We are ready to step in as your Trusted Expert or even as an interim Chief Operating Officer, ensuring that the job gets done with clarity, speed, and measurable results.

Here are just a few examples of the tasks we’ve supported our clients with:

• Called a trade buyer or service provider directly and achieved fast, tangible results

• Joined client meetings or calls, asking strategic questions live to push for better outcomes

• Reviewed and improved drafts, whether it’s a procedure, manual, contract, email, lookbook, creative brief, or supplier proposal — helping you maximise ROI on every investment

• Attended trade shows alongside the client, providing on-the-ground insights and live feedback

In short: if it relates to the business, we’re here to help you handle it.

And if — for any reason — we’re not the right fit for a particular challenge, you’ll know within 1 to 5 minutes. We value your time and will never waste it.
