Questions
Before you ask
Do you take money from distributors or retailers?
No. No fees and no commission from the other side of the deal. The only client is you.
What moves the price?
Number of categories and channels, how much data is public in your segment, and how many partners you want checked. After your brief you get a fixed price.
Will you sign our NDA?
Yes. Send it with your brief.
What if Russia isn't a fit for us?
Then you'll hear it clearly, in writing, with the reasons. A clear "no" early is cheaper than a failed launch.
