FAQ

Answers before you deploy.

Clear boundaries make commercial representation more effective.

What is Fractional Market Presence?+

Fractional Market Presence gives a company access to experienced local commercial representation without requiring it to immediately hire a permanent team or establish a full local operation.

What is a TradeDelegate?+

A TradeDelegate is a contracted professional assigned to represent a client company’s commercial interests for a defined engagement.

Is a TradeDelegate an employee of my company?+

Generally, no. TradeDelegates operate under a defined contractual representation arrangement unless another structure is specifically established.

Can a TradeDelegate attend a conference for us?+

Yes. Conference representation is one of the core services.

Can you staff our exhibition booth?+

Yes, where appropriate. TradeDelegate is designed for commercial representation rather than basic temporary staffing, so engagements can also include prospect qualification, meetings, partnerships, and follow-up.

Can the representative speak on our behalf?+

Within the authority agreed in your engagement. The representative should never claim authority that has not been granted.

Can our CEO join meetings remotely?+

Yes. Important prospects can be connected directly with your internal executives by video or phone.

Do you guarantee sales?+

No. Activity and agreed deliverables can be guaranteed where stated, but commercial outcomes depend on the client, market, prospects, product, pricing, and competition.

Do you guarantee a specific number of meetings?+

Some packages may include meeting targets. These should be defined in the engagement proposal.

Do you provide immigration or visa services?+

No. TradeDelegate is a commercial representation and market-presence service. It does not provide immigration legal advice or promise visa outcomes.

Can we use TradeDelegate even if we can travel normally?+

Absolutely. Many companies use fractional representation because it is more efficient than sending executives to every market or event.

Can you represent us for several months?+

Yes. Fractional Market Presence engagements can run on monthly or project-based agreements.

Which countries do you cover?+

Coverage depends on representative availability and industry requirements. Submit the target market and coverage can be confirmed during scoping.

Can one TradeDelegate cover several conferences?+

Yes, depending on geography, dates, scope, and industry.

Can you help us find distributors?+

Distributor identification and outreach can be included in Market Presence and Market Activation engagements.

Will you sign contracts for us?+

Not unless specifically authorized under an appropriate written agreement. Standard representation does not automatically include authority to bind the client legally.
