WE GET STUFF DONE

We cut our teeth during the biggest globalization event in recent history, when the Canadian mineral exploration industry expanded from near zero, to over 2,000 companies operating in over 140 countries. We launched dozens of new companies for ourselves and clients, that started operations in weeks while we contracted and managed large projects in over 15 countries, and hired and trained over 2,000 staff. While geology remains our passion, we apply the lessons learned on over 100 international projects, to assist clients begin operating and generating revenue in weeks. Regardless of what industry or sector, we have the experience to deliver.

We are serial, international entrepreneurs with decades of actual start up experience, sharing the same challenges, sleepless nights, with our own skin in the game facing the same big decisions as our clients.

We have learned from our own successes and failures, as well as those from well over 100 international engagements, combined with systematic research, and have packaged these lessons learned to pass on to our clients.

THE XPM CHALLENGE:

There are many “expert” advisors for international trade, and how to manage your company.

But, have you actually asked them exactly what their experience is and what makes them “experts” ?

Our challenge is: ask those who say they are “trade consultants” or “facilitators” or “advisors”, the hard questions if they have:

• Ever started their own business?
• Completed a “boots on the ground” market analysis with comprehensive competitive and competitive environment assessment?
• Held senior management position responsible for strategy in a business with over $2M a year (ie not a lemonade stand)?
• Can they given an example of where they ideated, then implemented a significant strategy?
• Have they ever entered a new market and hit ROI?
• Been an entrepreneur? If so what was their big idea and was it profitable (or just worked as an employee)
• Written an applied Business Case or Business Plan – and then actually implemented it?

It turns out that few – often none – of the so called “experts” have done any of these things.

Yet they are the experts that ask you to trust them, and often to pay them large sums of money for their advice.

Our Challenge: why would you accept advice from someone who has never sat in your chair, faced the same challenges, and has zero idea of what being an entrepreneur or business owner is about?

Think about that and address it before you accept any advice.
