OUR EXPERIENCE
We Were in Your Shoes Before
We are former Export Managers or Business Developers, and we love signing new deals. So, let them be your deals.
Back when we were Export Managers, we often wondered:
Who are the best partners in this country to start selling?
Our local partner is not transparent. How much market shares do we really have?
Is our distributor targeting all the segments of customers possible?
What are the market prices?
How can I have somebody on the ground to manage the sales without opening an office?
Is our name in the mind of customers when they're about to make a purchase?
Masson International was created to answer all of the above and to provide a tailor-made solution for each of your tricky situations encountered in Switzerland, France or Belgium.
“Moral authority comes from following universal and timeless principles like honesty, integrity, treating people with respect.”
