What we do

We provide an in-depth, thoroughly researched, professionally prepared analysis of our clients current sales and distribution systems, their current markets, their products, their competitors markets and products, along with alternatives and options as to where, when and how they can grow internationally. We offer an unbiased, objective analysis of who our clients are, what they are capable of achieving, where they could / should expand (or abandon) their sales efforts and how to best achieve the results they're looking for. Since we're not encumbered by corporate history, past performance, internal political considerations or traditional cultural perspectives, we are able to offer an unbiased, objective analysis. Our research teams and business analysts have a wealth of knowledge and experience from which to draw upon.

We deliver to your key decision makers all the pertinent information they need to know. We share exactly what the company needs to do, where, when and with whom they need to do it, so you may reach your company's sales and revenue growth objectives.

Our team of highly experienced financial professionals and analysts can provide our clients with detailed financial models giving decision makers the critical information they need to make the best sales growth decisions possible. We look at the opportunities identified by the Sales & Market Research Analysis Report and design thorough, easy to understand financial models predicting exactly what your company may need to invest, what your expected ROI and ROE will be and what your expected payback time is.

Additionally, our financial team can establish your accounting book of record for your international business transactions to insure compliance with local, national and regional financial reporting requirements. We can also work with your accountants to set up your accounting structure so it meets both International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We will work with your key financial team to ensure your reporting results are in full compliance with all appropriate regulations; both in the US and the countries where you choose to expand.

We work with our clients to develop and implement an effective, efficient sales and revenue growth plan based on their selected distribution models. We can work with your existing sales team and / or leadership team in developing the most effective distribution plan possible for the countries, markets, products and services you wish to pursue. Creating or refining a profitable international sales strategy is never as easy as hiring new salespeople. Profitable international sales growth could involve implementing new and different distribution models, new relationship models, maximizing cross-selling opportunities, product modifications, cultural considerations, logistical considerations, tax, tariff and country specific trade regulations and much more. We're experienced and knowledgeable in all those areas (and many more).

Our sales platform capabilities run the entire spectrum; from expanding on current capabilities to field force mergers or acquisitions to building an entirely new distribution system in a new country. Allume International has the capability of working with our clients to design and implement the best sales and distribution systems possible.

In many instances our clients prefer us to continue leading part or all of the sales process, especially internationally. Once the most efficient, effective distribution systems have been identified and implemented, we have the ability to remain engaged and continue leading and expanding sales and revenue growth to it's fullest potential. We can build ongoing, long-term relationships on our clients behalf, expand distribution relationships, identify potential in-country partners, identify potential acquisition targets, identify cross-selling opportunities, identify continued sales growth opportunities and manage the entire ongoing sales process. Because we require no long term commitments, our clients maintain maximum flexibility with minimal risk or long term capital expenditures.

Additionally, should a client choose to continue relying on our experience and expertise they could engage us to directly sell their products through our network of sales representatives, choose to offer their products through our International Affiliate Offices around the world and / or choose to have our sales leaders engage with their existing distribution channel to lead and expand their sales capabilities.

Allume International is not a law firm and we are not attorneys; however, we have developed deep relationships with independent, experienced legal partners who are experts at helping their client companies overcome the multitude of legal challenges involved in expanding internationally and conducting business outside the United States.

Our independent legal partners have deep experience in drafting international contracts, intellectual property registration and licensing, trademark registration and licensing outside the U.S., anti-bribery compliance, foreign business structure, laws affecting transfers of funds, trade agreements and much more. Additionally, our independent legal partners can apply a working knowledge of multiple languages (Dutch, German, Portuguese, French, Italian and Spanish) when developing contracts and drafting / reviewing business agreements.

As a client of Allume International we can make available our network of highly knowledgeable international business legal experts to your company.
