Broker Management

This approach is especially advantageous for clients located outside of Canada who want local representation to actively manage their business through a combination of direct sales and broker management. Our strong relationships with many Canadian brokers enable us to also offer assistance in sourcing the perfect broker for your company.

Establishing sales and promotion budgets. This includes a comprehensive trade spend management approach to achieve favourable ROI

Performing continuous progress reviews, including trackers, and monitoring the business

Monthly and Quarterly Business reviews, but also day to day contact with the broker to provide strategic direction, and monitor the business

Evaluating customer product mix and detail merchandising strategies

Maintaining strong customer trade relationships

Identifying new business opportunities in the market, e.g. alternate channels, new listings, and monitoring competitive activity

Coordinating sales and marketing activities to ensure they are working in tandem for a smooth implementation
