Book your free appointment if you are not reaching your desired resultsTop 10 Reasons Why You Should NOT Work with GFM
1. You Believe “If It’s Not Broken, Don’t Fix It”Â
If your business is running perfectly, and you see no room for growth or operational improvement, GFM’s services may not be relevant for you.
2. Growth Isn’t a Priority
If you’re satisfied with your current market reach, revenue, and business model (B2B, B2C, Online or Bespoke), there’s no need to work with a company focused on scaling and innovation.
3. You Already Have a Proven Strategy
If your business strategy consistently delivers the desired results, and you feel confident in navigating future challenges, GFM might not add value.
4. You’re Not Open to Change
Our approach is built on innovation and transformation. If you’re resistant to new ideas or changing established processes, our methods may not align with your goals.
Â
5. You Prefer to Handle Everything In-HouseÂ
For businesses with robust internal teams and resources to handle strategy, operations, and growth plans independently, GFM’s external expertise may not be necessary.
Â
6. You Don’t Need a Fresh 360 International Perspective
Our expertise provides an external viewpoint into your business. We show the client the green flag where they see the red flag and the reverse is true as well. If you’re not interested in external perspectives or industry benchmarking, we may not be the right fit.
7. You Don’t Face Any Operational Challenges (B2B, B2C)
If your products, people, processes, finance, logistics, operations, and supply chain run smoothly with no bottlenecks, GFM’s operational efficiency services may not be relevant to you. If the experience of a seasoned professional with an expert advice and COO skills are not required then we may not be able to add real value.
Â
8. You Don’t Value Collaboration And Honest Advice & Support
GFM thrives on collaboration with fashion brands to create tailored solutions and honesty and transparency are key to us. If you prefer working solo or resist partnerships, we may not suit your style.
Â
9. You’re Looking for a One-Size-Fits-All Solution
Our incubator and consulting services are custom-designed for each client. If you’re searching for generic, off-the-shelf solutions, GFM isn’t the answer.
10. You Don’t Believe in Continuous Improvement
Fashion is a fast-changing industry. If you don’t believe in evolving your brand or improving processes to stay competitive, our services may not benefit you.
As GFM Founder, Thierry Bayle, says:
"Fashion success is not more about what you know, it is about what you don't know".

4-Step Process for Engaging with a Trusted GFM Expert
1. Initial 5-min Call – Understanding Your Business & Goals
Start with a complimentary short call to learn more about your business, goals, and challenges. We can therefore send you a relevant prep sheet to make the free discovery call a success.
2. Actual Free Discovery Call – Tailored to Your Needs
Now, we are both ready to dive deeper into the free discovery call and provide you with real value based on the goals you have shared with us.
We will also discuss the duration and fee for a follow-up paid meeting, customised to suit your specific requirements and budget - agreed upon in advance. The payment of step 3 can happen before or after the working meeting. You decide.
3. Productive Working Meeting – Pay Only If Fully Satisfied
During the "pay-if-satisfied" meeting, we will address your needs with actionable insights and solutions.Â
4. Meeting Summary and Recommended Next Steps – Delivered by GFM
Following the working meeting, we will provide an actionable summary of the key points, insights, and recommendations tailored to your business.
We will outline actionable next steps for your business and success, whether we collaborate further or not. The choice to continue with GFM is entirely yours.
This process ensures transparency, results-focused engagement, and flexibility, putting your success at the centre of every step and it fully aligns with our values.
B2B/ B2CÂ Brand Building - Critical and Creative Thinking
As we have a truly 360 degree approach of the business of fashion, imagine the power you have in your hands if we can spot the red flag and green flags before anybody else?
You will increase customer traffic, sales and profitability. You will also reduce or eliminate the mistakes your competition is making.
Relax, you are in good hands.Â
Before knowing Global Fashion Management, clients have suffered from unscrupulous suppliers or service providers. They had bought products and services the business did not need. We do not want you to feel there will be a risk when we work together.
Our commitment is simple:
The first paid meeting is 100% on your terms. If you are not satisfied you owe us nothing.
It is that simple.
Never assume we will say no, always assume we will say yes!
