Services

Sales, market entry and trade management.

My service portfolio covers the sales cycle from the first market analysis to ongoing customer care. You can book individual modules or combined representation — depending on market readiness, budget and goal.

01 — Market entry

Market entry Austria

Problem
You have a product with potential in Austria, but no local sales channel, no local customer knowledge and no local visibility.
Approach
Structured initial analysis, identification of relevant target customers in Vienna and Eastern Austria, first contacts, pilot conversations, gradual build-up of a robust sales channel.
Benefit
You gain market access without investing in a subsidiary — and decide on the basis of real market reactions whether and how to scale.
02 — Market entry

Market entry Hungary

Problem
Hungary is geographically close, but linguistically, culturally and administratively independent. Direct sales without a local voice rarely work.
Approach
Bridge function into the Hungarian market — in native language, with local understanding of business customs, channels and decision paths.
Benefit
You don't approach Hungary from a distance, but through someone who knows the country, the language and the B2B mentality personally.
03 — Growth

Market development

Problem
You're already present in Austria or Hungary, but growth is stagnating, or certain regions remain below their potential.
Approach
Analysis of existing market position, identification of gaps, targeted build-up in underserved regions, systematic existing-customer development.
Benefit
Existing potential is better exploited — without overloading your internal sales structure.
04 — Representation

Commercial representation

Problem
You need active, contractually sound representation toward customers — not just an advisory conversation.
Approach
Representation under a commercial agency contract pursuant to the Austrian Commercial Agents Act (HVertrG). Clear definition of region, product portfolio, commission model and reporting.
Benefit
You retain full control over prices, terms and contract conclusion — I'm your extended arm in the market.
05 — Existing customers

Key Account Management

Problem
Existing major customers need ongoing care, but internal capacity isn't enough or the geographic proximity is missing.
Approach
Structured care of defined key accounts with regular meetings, reports and proactive issue management.
Benefit
Important customers experience reliable, personal care — without you having to scale up internally.
06 — Activation

Sales Promotion

Problem
Product launches, campaigns or activations require on-site presence that can't be steered from headquarters.
Approach
Sales promotion at point of sale, in the field and at trade shows — coordinated, documented, with clear goals.
Benefit
Marketing investment becomes effective in the market, not just produced.
07 — Analysis

Market analysis & competitive monitoring

Problem
You're considering a market entry or product launch and need reliable local information before budgets are committed.
Approach
Structured research on market size, sales channels, price level, competition and regulatory framework — based on public sources, own research and targeted market conversations.
Benefit
Decisions on a fact basis, not on assumptions.
08 — Representation

Representation & trade show support

Problem
A trade show in Vienna or Budapest, a customer meeting, a contract negotiation — your team can't travel every time.
Approach
Representation at trade shows, in meetings and negotiations, language support in German, Hungarian or English, professional follow-up.
Benefit
You're present without travelling — and don't lose business opportunities because you couldn't be on site.
