Three ways to work with GTI·BCN
Every engagement starts with the same question: what does your company actually need right now?
Not a generic consulting package. A specific model that fits your situation, your resources and your timeline.
Services | Fractional Export Manager Textile · International Readiness Audit· Commercial Representation
Most textile and industrial manufacturers approach international expansion the same way: they hire a sales agent, attend a trade fair, or ask a contact for introductions. Sometimes it works. More often, it produces activity without results.
The reason is structural. International growth requires three things to happen in the right sequence: understanding the market before entering it, building the right commercial architecture before investing in execution, and managing the process actively once it starts.
The model of Fractional Export Manager is not a compromise. It is a deliberate model built for companies that need senior-level international market presence without the structural cost of a full-time hire.
The three models above cover the full range of situations — from ongoing market management to one-time diagnostic to exclusive representation.
At GTI·BCN, we have built three distinct service models around this sequence — each designed for a specific situation and a specific type of company. A manufacturer considering their first export market needs something different from a company that already exports but wants to accelerate. And both need something different from a European manufacturer seeking access to the Spanish market.
The right model depends on where you are, what you need and what you can realistically commit. That is always the first conversation.
Fractional Export Manager Textile
You need senior export management expertise in your company, but cannot justify a full-time hire for scaling your export operations
Ideal for: Industrial SMEs and textile manufacturers with €5–50M turnover seeking structured international growth without full-time export overhead.
International Readiness Audit
Before investing in international markets, you need one answer: Is your company — your team and your product — genuinely ready?
Specially designed for companies considering international expansion for the first time, or those who have tried and want to understand why results fell short.
Commercial Representation
Manufacturers seeking Spanish market access need agents understanding products, producers, and requirements
Our approach is selective. We work with a limited number of manufacturers to ensure full commercial focus and genuine market development.
NOT SURE WHICH MODEL FITS?
The first conversation is always without obligation. Tell us where your company stands and what you are trying to achieve.
We will tell you honestly which — if any — of these models makes sense for your situation.
A fractional export manager textile is not a compromise solution. It’s a deliberate model for companies that need a senior-level international presence without the structural cost of a full-time hire.
