The world's most cost-effective export strategy is also its most powerful: build your own sales agent network paid purely on commission — no employees, no trade shows, no risk. Backed by our 25-year global network.
In a moment, you'll understand why 99% of producers spend years searching for the wrong agents — and what the 1% who succeed at export do differently, without ever hiring a single export employee.
It's not your fault. No one taught you to tell apart the 20% of agents who make 80% of sales from the 80% who sell almost nothing. Here are the 3 methods you're probably using — and why they target exactly the wrong people.
Marie was looking for agents in the US. She found Julie, Mary and Tom — profiles with 400 to 600 references, very visible on LinkedIn. 8 months later: 4 restaurants listed.
Then she found Jean. Not on LinkedIn. 80 references. 350 active restaurants. In 3 months.
The best agents are not on LinkedIn. They're in our network.
Thomas spent €18,000 on his ProWein stand. 3 days, 180 business cards, 6 months of follow-ups. 2 orders. 1 that got cancelled.
Meanwhile, a lesser-known competitor signed 8 commission agents from his office. Zero trade shows. Zero travel. 8 markets covered.
A trade show is hope invoiced at €15,000. An agent is sales paid on results.
Yoan wanted to tackle Taiwan. He hired a Country Manager. Salary: €50,000. Revenue generated year one: €20,000. Net result: −€30,000.
The following year, he switched to a commission agent. Revenue: €120,000. Net collected: +€102,000. Delta in one year: +€132,000.
Same market, same product. Just the right model.
These 3 methods share one thing: they expose you precisely to the 80% of agents who make 20% of sales. The problem isn't your product. The problem is that you don't yet have access to the data that identifies the 20% of top agents who generate 80% of sales. We do.
We are not a recruitment agency. We don't send you LinkedIn profiles. For 25 years, we have worked directly with tens of thousands of professional buyers (HoReCa, importers, distributors), sales agents and producers across 160+ countries.
Every month, we refine our data to identify who actually sells — not who claims to. This 25-year filter is available to you from today for your export growth.
Real-time cross-referenced data — buyers, agents, producers: we know who buys what, from whom, and how often.
Selection based on real results — not profiles, not promises. Actual sales and active buyers.
Immediate access — you don't have 25 years to build this network. Leverage ours from day one.
No network? No problem. In 3 steps, we define, plan and activate your sales force — agents paid only on your sales, in the markets you target.
During an audit call, we analyse your export situation together — your product, target markets and goals. We define how many agents you actually need — and if necessary, we help you adapt your offers, communication tools and commission structure to maximise your chances of convincing them.
We co-build a 12-month action plan: how many agents to find, priority markets, geographic zones, activation timeline. No commitment beyond that. You move at your own pace, knowing exactly where you're going and what it returns.
"Three agents in Miami, dozens of emails, samples shipped... Eight months later: four restaurants listed. Not 400 — four."
Introduction to Jean — the real Miami agent, 80 references, 350 active restaurants. The one who isn't on LinkedIn.
+120 restaurants listed in 8 months. "We gained almost a year."
"I had a Country Manager in Taiwan. Salary €50,000, revenue generated €20,000. Result: −€30,000 for the year."
Switched to a commission-only agent. ExW price adjusted to €12 instead of €10. 15% commission built into the price.
Revenue: €120,000 — Net after commission: +€102,000. Delta vs previous year: +€132,000.
"No network in Asia. We wanted Hong Kong and Singapore but didn't know anyone. ProWein had given us nothing."
Two commission-only agents identified in the network, one in HK, one in Singapore. Zero fixed costs.
First mandates and first sales in Singapore in under a month. "We never would have found them alone."
⚡ Audit slots are limited to 10 producers per month to maintain the quality of our support.
Only one brings you closer to your next international market.
You invest months, thousands of euros in trade shows, and you'll find agents — the 80% who don't sell. That's exactly what Marion and Yoan did before changing approach. It's possible. It just takes 12 to 36 months to understand the mistake.
You're no longer starting from scratch. You leverage 25 years of global network, filtered and updated every month, to find the 20% of agents who will make 80% of your future sales. Zero fixed costs, zero risk — paid only on your sales.
Choose option B — Request my auditWe find agents through 25 years of global network-building with tens of thousands of buyers (HoReCa, etc.), sales agents and producers. We refine our data every month to filter the 20% of sales agents who generate 80% of sales in their market.
We select agents on two criteria: 1. Do they have strong results and actually sell? 2. Are they a fit for your brief (market, type of buyer sought)?
Depending on your plan, you will receive 2, 5, 12 or another number of sales agents per month — to be defined together during your audit call.
The agents will suit you, as they are the best-performing agents in their market and belong to the top 20%. If an agent does not meet that standard, we replace them.
Yes, all agents we select already work with other producers and have strong sales track records.
That's for you to define directly with each agent you contact — we do not intervene in the contract between you and the agent.
Yes, you can request as many countries as you like and change your target country at any time, or mix several countries. Example: if your quota is 5 agents per month, you can request 3 for China and 2 for Vietnam.
A sales agent represents and sells your products in their geographic zone. They are paid only on sales, by commission.
A distributor takes a margin of 25 to 30%, whereas a sales agent charges a commission of 8 to 15%.
You will find all sales agents on LinkedIn, but above all the 80% who sell 20% of wine and spirits and have hundreds of references. The top 20% are often discreet and barely present on LinkedIn — yet they are the ones making 80% of sales, and the ones you need to find.
A trade show is the fruit of chance. It is not a strategy in itself, but a complement to your export development strategy.
You can expect to grow your sales agent network month after month. With zero fixed costs — agents are paid only on sales, so no financial risk.
"I don't want to keep waiting to find the best sales agents and lose thousands in sales every month because I haven't found them yet. I want to change strategy today."
