Why Export Consulting?
The difference shows on the ground, not in a report. Compare the two methods side by side below.
-
Traditional method: Consulting ends with a report; implementation is left to you.The FIX method: We act as your own export department, from first buyer contact to quotation.
-
Traditional method: The first market is chosen as opportunities arise, or by instinct.The FIX method: The Initial Analysis measures your product’s potential; the first market is chosen on the basis of data.
-
Traditional method: Buyer searches rely on lists of unknown origin.The FIX method: Prospective buyers are verified, and purchasing departments are reached through formal business channels.
-
Traditional method: Returns on trade fair and promotion spending can’t be tracked.The FIX method: Trade fair, promotion and contact results are tracked in CRM; budget shifts to the markets that deliver returns.
-
Traditional method: Government support is only considered after the money has been spent.The FIX method: Market research, trade fair and promotion costs are matched with export support from the start.
-
Result: Uncertain results and an export budget spent without a plan.Result: An export system that is measured, reported and doesn’t depend on any one person.

Let’s work out the right scope for you.

What is Export Consulting and what does a consultant do?
Export consulting means getting your product to the buyers who need it most, not to random markets.
At FIX, we identify the target market with data, contact buyers directly and run the entire export process end to end. The goal is not a one-off sale; it is to give your brand a sustainable export structure tied to systems, not individuals.
How do you find buyers abroad?
Finding buyers abroad takes three steps: choose the target market with data, not assumptions; list the importers and distributors in that market by HS code (GTİP); then run the sample and quotation process through direct contact with buyers.
As part of Export Consulting, we take these steps on for you. For the methods in detail, see our guide to finding buyers in B2B exports.
How do you choose an export consulting firm?
The right consulting firm has a direct impact on your export success. Check these criteria:
- Data-driven workChoose a firm that identifies target markets with hard trade data, not assumptions.
- Operational ownershipLook for a partner that runs the whole process, not one that only gives directions.
- Transparency and reportingLook for a tracking system that lets you follow every task in real time.
- Sector experience and languageA team that can communicate in the target market’s native language makes a difference.
- Managing conflicts of interestConsultancies that work with a limited number of companies in each product group offer a more focused service.

What is the main difference between the UTD® and KİVİG® models?The difference lies in the depth of operational support.
The difference lies in the depth of operational support. With UTD® (International Trade Consulting), we find potential buyers and provide strategic guidance online; with the KİVİG® (Hands-on Export) model, we pack our passports, go into the field with you, attend trade fairs and personally manage customs and logistics. One charts the course; the other carries the load.
