| Genesis Sales and Marketing helps small companies launch new brands into major retail distribution. We are a boutique firm. We engage only a few clients each year, and then devote the time, talent and resources necessary to ensure success. The consumer products industry recommends a 3-step process for new retail products. Many companies help with pieces of the process. Genesis Sales and Marketing is unique because we are holistic. We take clients from pre-market through to implementation, and even setting up supply logistics. The recommended steps are: #1: Pre-Market Due Diligence > #2: Go-to-Market Strategy > #3 - Retailer Implementation Each client's situation is unique, and Genesis will adapt to your needs. We will be as involved as you want us to be--whether it's a bit part or a leading role. In most situations, the consultant relationship is invisible to the retailer. Genesis Sales and Marketing is not a broker or manufacturer's representative. We do not work on commission. We work with small companies, and our fees reflect it. We can be engaged by the hour or by the project. We can help ensure that your ECRM experience is successful. Visit www.GenesisSalesandMarketing.com to learn more about our services or call us for a free, confidential analysis of your situation and business needs. |
