Four 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 · On Site Negotiation Support
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.
At GTI·BCN, we have built four 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:
The Fractional Export Manager Textile service is not a compromise. It is a strategic model designed for companies that need senior-level international market expertise and commercial leadership without the structural cost of a full-time hire. It provides flexible export management, market development, and international business support aligned with your growth objectives.
The International Readiness Audit is designed for companies planning to start selling abroad and wanting to understand what needs to be in place before investing time and resources. It identifies strengths, gaps, and priorities, helping you build a realistic export strategy and reduce the risks associated with entering foreign markets.
Commercial Representation is available for foreign companies looking to establish or expand their business in Spain. Acting as your local commercial partner, we help develop business opportunities, strengthen client relationships, and facilitate market access through direct representation and ongoing commercial support.
On-Site Negotiation Support is specifically designed for companies requiring multilingual negotiation assistance at international textile trade fairs, whether visiting or exhibiting. We support B2B meetings, supplier and customer negotiations, helping you communicate directly, protect your commercial interests, and achieve better business outcomes without the limitations of a translation-only service.
