Call & Video Q&A
Some questions are small and still block everything: do we need this certification, should we take this quotation, is this customer real. Thirty minutes to settle it, then back to work.
This is not a shrunken consultation. It exists for a different situation.
The question is specific and nobody around you can answer it
Peers give you vague experience, friends give you reassurance. What you need is someone who has seen this exact thing many times saying plainly: do it, or do not.
You cannot wait for a full engagement
The customer needs an answer tomorrow; the show opens next week. You need a judgment today, not a complete plan in two weeks.
You are not sure whether to commit further
You are weighing whether to take US/EU markets seriously and want a small, cheap look at how someone on the inside thinks before deciding.
All thirty minutes go to the questions, none to introductions.
-
01
Questions submitted in advance
Write your questions down when you book — three at most is our advice. We read them beforehand, so the call opens on the substance.
-
02
A clear answer to each
One question at a time. Where we can be certain, you get the conclusion. Where we cannot, you get exactly what information is missing and how to get it.
-
03
Related risks flagged
If your question is attached to a risk you have not noticed — certification, liability cover, IP, payment terms — we will point at it too.
-
04
What to do next
Before the call ends you get a clear next step, and an honest view on whether a fuller consultation is warranted. If it is not, we say it is not.
The process is short, because the service should be.
Send the questions
A short form: your product, where things stand, and what you most want to ask.
Confirm a time
We confirm the slot and send the meeting link.
The call
Thirty minutes, straight into the substance.
Written conclusions
We send the key conclusions in writing afterwards, so you can forward them to your team.
Saying it up front beats explaining it afterwards.
What we promise
- A clear judgment on the questions you asked, not "it depends"
- If we think you are asking the wrong question, we will tell you what the real one is
- If we think you do not need to buy anything further, we will say so
- Written conclusions after the call, on the record and forwardable
What we do not promise
- We do not promise orders or customers
- Thirty minutes cannot contain a full market study or product assessment — that is what the consulting engagement is for
- We do not give formal customs, legal or tax opinions, though we will tell you which kind of professional you need
- We do not hand out buyer contacts or customer lists
When it is not a fit we will say so. That saves everyone time.
A good fit
- Exporters with one to three concrete questions that need deciding
- Managers weighing a specific call: take this order, get this certification, attend this show
- Anyone who wants a low-cost look at how we think before committing to more
Not right now
- Broad questions that need to be worked through systematically — go straight to consulting
- Anyone hoping the call will produce customer leads
Write the questions down first
Tell us your product and the three things you most want to ask. We will confirm a time once we have read them — and if we think thirty minutes will not cover them, we will say so up front.
