HOW WE WORK

A clear role in your Polish business.

We agree which part of your Polish business to develop, how we will work with your team and existing partners, and how progress will be reviewed. Nexus then leads the local work within that scope.

STARTING SCOPE

Begin with a specific commercial priority.

An initial scope might be to develop selected Polish OEM accounts for one component range alongside existing distribution, open a new application segment, or strengthen a partner route that is not being actively developed today. Before starting, we agree the products, target customers, channel boundaries, responsibilities and review points. This gives both teams a clear focus for the work.

Define the starting mandate

Before the work begins, the starting mandate defines:

01

the products and applications in scope;

02

the customer groups, selected accounts or commercial routes to develop;

03

the territory, channel boundaries and existing relationships that must be respected;

04

the responsibilities of Nexus and the manufacturer’s team;

05

the initial review period and the decisions to be made at that point.

DELIVERABLES

What your team receives

The exact outputs depend on the agreed scope, but a typical starting mandate provides:

01

a prioritised view of the accounts, customer groups or commercial routes worth developing;

02

qualification of the strongest candidates through available market information and direct commercial discussions;

03

active commercial conversations with the relevant decision-makers;

04

a transparent opportunity pipeline showing product fit, current status, barriers, next action and responsibility;

05

market feedback and recommendations on where to continue, adjust or stop investing.

These outputs support commercial decisions. They are not guarantees of orders, signed distributors or customer conversion.

INITIAL PHASE

Start with a defined initial phase

The relationship is designed for long-term commercial development, but it can begin with a defined initial phase around one or more agreed priorities. During this phase, Nexus validates the strongest commercial routes, develops the relevant accounts and builds the initial opportunity pipeline. At the review point, both teams decide whether to continue the current scope, concentrate on the strongest route or expand the mandate.

PRE-NEXUS MANUFACTURER-SIDE EXPERIENCE

year-on-year revenue growth in Poland

01

The situation

A technical manufacturer already had sales and distribution in Poland, but the market structure was unclear. There were different partner interests, incomplete information and no clear view of which route could deliver the strongest growth.

What our founder led

Our founder was responsible for commercial development in Poland on the manufacturer’s side. He worked directly with key customers and distribution partners, clarified the real market situation and developed alternative options for the manufacturer. The goal was simple: find the strongest commercial route and maximise growth in Poland.

03

The commercial approach

Different partners were asked to show how much they were ready to invest in the market, hold stock and actively develop sales. Having more than one realistic option gave the manufacturer a stronger negotiating position. This helped secure a much stronger commitment from the selected distribution partner.

THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND NEXUS

Commercial development is not only about finding customers. It is about understanding the real market, creating options and using those options to build a stronger position and grow revenue.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Your product expertise and our local commercial development

Nexus Ostoya leads

Market and account priorities

Customer, OEM and partner development

Local commercial development and opportunity progression

Coordination of local relationships and next steps

Market feedback and commercial recommendations

Your team provides

Product and application expertise

Engineering input and technical validation

Pricing, quotations and commercial approvals

Product documentation and delivery commitments

Strategic product and policy decisions

Together, we agree priorities, coordinate the inputs customers need and review what to continue, adjust or stop.

COMMERCIAL REVIEWS

Review commercial progress

The objective is to grow sales and strengthen the manufacturer’s position in the market. In technical B2B, that progress develops before an order is placed.

We look for evidence that an opportunity is becoming more real:

a relevant application has been confirmed

the right decision-makers are engaged

a product is entering evaluation

a quotation has been requested

a partner has committed to developing selected accounts

an existing customer is moving towards broader cooperation

Reviews focus on what is progressing, what is blocking progress and where commercial effort should be concentrated next. Nexus brings local market feedback and recommendations; the manufacturer provides the product, technical and commercial decisions needed to move opportunities forward. If a route is not producing enough evidence, we reassess the account, channel or approach rather than continue activity for its own sake.

ONGOING PARTNERSHIP

An ongoing commercial partnership with a clear scope

A monthly retainer covers an agreed area of commercial development in Poland. The fee depends on the size of the scope, the products and customers involved, the level of local support needed and the responsibility Nexus takes for developing the market. Before we start, we agree which products and market priorities to focus on, who is responsible for what, and how we will review progress. If it makes sense, we can also add a performance-based fee. The cooperation can start with a focused scope and grow over time - for example to more customers, applications, sales channels, field activity or selected CEE markets.

QUESTIONS

Questions about working together

We already have a distributor. Where would Nexus fit?

We first establish what your distributor already handles and whether there is a useful additional role for Nexus. That could mean developing an OEM segment, supporting a new product line, opening project relationships or working with the distributor on selected target accounts. We clarify channel commitments and account responsibilities before approaching the market.

How is Nexus different from lead generation or appointment setting?

Nexus takes responsibility for developing an agreed part of the Polish market, not for delivering a volume of leads or meetings. We work across the commercial process - identifying where to focus, developing the right accounts and channels, progressing opportunities, strengthening existing business where relevant and bringing local market judgment into commercial decisions. The objective is sustained revenue development, not activity volume.

How does working with Nexus compare with hiring locally?

Hiring a local employee can be the right choice if you want to build and manage your own sales team in Poland. Nexus offers a different model. We act as a Poland-based commercial partner and take responsibility for an agreed part of the market. Your team keeps control of the product, pricing, technical matters and key business decisions. Nexus leads the local commercial work, develops customers and partners, and coordinates the next steps. This gives you local commercial growth without having to build a full local sales structure.

What if we already have our own Polish sales team?

Nexus can still make sense if there is a product, customer group or market segment that your current team does not have the time or focus to develop. In some cases, Nexus can also cover a commercial role that would otherwise require another local hire. The choice depends on how you want to organise the market. You can build the role internally, with a local employee and the management and administration that come with it, or use Nexus as an external commercial partner responsible for an agreed scope.

What involvement will you need from us?

We need product onboarding, relevant sales and channel information, and a named contact who can coordinate commercial decisions. Customer opportunities also require access to technical expertise, quotations and approvals when needed. We agree the points of contact, responsibilities and review rhythm at the start so both teams can coordinate decisions and resolve delays.

How do you handle competing products?

Nexus does not normally work with directly competing products within the same agreed product area. Before we start, we define which products are protected and where a real competitive conflict would exist. This protection is kept specific, so working with one manufacturer does not automatically exclude unrelated or complementary products across a wider industry. Any broader exclusivity can be discussed separately if the scope and commercial commitment justify it.
