Finding relevant customer relationships
One of the biggest questions in consumer recruitment is simple:
Who can this person already sell to?
A candidate may have relationships with:
- Major retailers
- Department stores
- Grocery
- Specialist retailers
- Distributors
- Hospitality groups
- E-commerce platforms
- International partners
Those relationships can materially reduce the time it takes a new hire to create commercial impact.
That is why our searches focus on where candidates have sold and what they have delivered.
International expansion
Consumer brands often need people who can establish a new territory rather than simply maintain an existing customer base.
That requires a different profile.
We look for evidence of market entry, distributor development, account acquisition and new-business creation.
