What we do
International Sales Development, From Market Discovery to Customer Development
Practical support across the sales development process—from understanding where your product may fit to building conversations with the companies that could buy it.
Buyer & Distributor Identification
We identify relevant distributors, importers, industrial buyers, contractors, OEMs, and other potential customers based on your product and target market.
Lead Generation & Qualification
We research potential decision-makers, approach relevant companies, and help distinguish genuine commercial opportunities from low-value leads.
International Sales Representation
Trade & Flow can represent manufacturers in selected markets, introduce products to prospective customers, develop relationships, and support ongoing sales activity.
RFQ & Commercial Coordination
We support communication between manufacturers and prospective customers, help coordinate inquiries and RFQs, and keep commercial opportunities moving through the sales process.
Customer Development & Follow-Up
International sales rarely end with the first conversation. We maintain contact with prospects and customers, support follow-ups, and help develop long-term commercial relationships.
