Typical engagements.
Every piece of work begins with a question and ends with something written down.
What you can give me.
Some engagements stop at the answer. Others carry on into introductions and the first conversations. We decide that as the evidence appears.
Saudi Market Entry
Is Saudi Arabia worth entering, and how would we start?
I look at who is already operating there, who might buy, which local relationships matter and what the first year would realistically involve.
You receive
- Market map and competitor landscape
- Target customers and possible partners
- Decision-makers worth knowing
- Written recommendation on the route in
Commercial Intelligence
What is going on in this industry that we are missing?
I build the picture of a sector or competitor set, then separate what is merely interesting from what changes your decisions.
You receive
- Industry research and market structure
- Competitor landscape
- Hiring, leadership and investment signals
- What it means for you, in writing
Target Market Build
Which thirty companies actually matter?
I take a long, vague universe of possible buyers and turn it into a ranked list you can work through.
You receive
- Prioritised target-account list
- Decision-maker maps
- Account intelligence
- A reason and route to approach each one
New Market or Division Research
Is this idea strong enough to put money behind?
I test a proposed sector, product area or division against real demand, existing players and what you would need to build first.
You receive
- Demand evidence and customer segmentation
- Competitive picture
- Risks and assumptions worth checking
- A clear view on whether to proceed
Business Development Intelligence
How do we turn this market into a pipeline?
I work out where the good conversations are, what is happening inside those accounts and how you should open them.
You receive
- Account priorities and context
- The people who decide
- Outreach routes and angles
- Working sessions with your team
No finished brief required.
Work can start from a half-formed idea, a competitor move nobody has explained, or a list of possible customers that needs turning into a decision.
The first job is making the question precise enough to answer.
