Export Connect exceeded our expectations. In seeking their advice on Southeast and Asian markets, we were impressed by the experience of their consultants and their clear and constant communication throughout the project. Highly recommended.
Najib has been an amazing resource for us and has played a key role in the development and execution of our export projects. His understanding of how to structure a deal, by engaging with the various parties involved from buyers to logistics, is second to none and I have no doubt he is one of Australia’s foremost export project practitioners.
Najib has and continues to play and integral role in assisting Pure Origins to initiate and further grow our export markets. With his wealth of experience and insight in global trade markets and with his introduction to key contacts Pure Origins continues to grow our sales channels globally.
Najib and the team at Export Connect helped us to gain an understanding of a key potential export market so that we were well prepared for the follow-up market visit. They also connected us with relevant potential customers. Overall an excellent service and highly recommended for those wanting to hit the ground running in a new market.
I am truly impressed by Export Connect’s work. The quality of their connections, both domestic and international, is remarkable; and their skill and tenacity in delivering value to their clients is a step above the rest.
Market research is so important for both new and existing markets in export. I engaged Export Connect to do the groundwork for me for a market we were not performing so well in. The reporting and information is concise, relevant and clearly gives a real visual of where our product sits in-market. These reports in turn gave me valuable in-market information which we can now use to develop targeted strategies in-market. Najib and his team are exceptionally experienced in export markets and insights not just on this project but in the seminars as well.
