A strong product is not enough
The Benelux financial market is small, concentrated and relationship-driven. A dozen banks and insurers control most of the technology budgets and they don't take meetings with vendors they don't know. Without local credibility and access at decision level, sales cycles stretch into years and doors stay closed.
Hiring a country manager costs €150,000+ a year, with no network and no guarantee. There is a better way to test this market.
Commercial representation, with skin in the game.
Over an initial six-month mandate, Varlik Partners becomes your commercial presence on the BeNeLux financial market:
- Qualification of the five to ten institutions where your solution answers an identified need
- Meetings secured with the right decision-makers, C-level, heads of IT and procurement
- First conversations conducted alongside your team
- Deal cycle managed through to negotiation
You keep full control of product, pricing and contract. We bring access, credibility and market insight, and our compensation is tied to your results.
At three months: a qualified, documented pipeline.
At six months: active negotiations or a clear, honest decision to stop. No mandate that drags on.
