GIBBEON

FRANCE MARKET-ENTRY SPECIALIST FOR CHINESE B2B MANUFACTURERS

Your first customers in France, without hiring a European team.

We build and run your European customer-acquisition system.

France-based, running your market research, your localized campaigns, and your sales development as a single connected system, so a French export inquiry doesn't sit unanswered.

AUDIT. STRATEGY. LAUNCH. RESULTS.

Why the product is good enough, and the pipeline still isn't there

01No local presence

A French buyer defaults to a supplier who feels local. An unfamiliar name with no French footprint starts every conversation a step behind.

02Marketing built for the wrong buyer

A site or deck written for a domestic audience rarely persuades a French procurement team. The objections and proof points they need are different.

03No one qualifying the leads

Inbound interest without someone to respond, in French, in a French time zone, goes cold within days.

04No feedback loop to your team

Without a system connecting campaigns to closed deals, budget gets spent on guesses instead of what's actually converting.

How it works

01
Audit
A short paid diagnostic: your product, current traction, and where the fastest opportunity sits in France.
WEEK 1
02
Strategy
A market-entry brief covering target segment, positioning, channel mix, and the numbers the pilot is measured against.
WEEK 2
03
Launch
Localized landing page and campaigns go live; sales development begins qualifying and booking meetings directly.
WEEKS 3–10
04
Optimize
Weekly review of what's converting; budget and messaging shift toward what's actually producing meetings.
ONGOING
05
Decide
At day 90: move to an ongoing retainer, add a second market, or stop. The data decides, not a sales pitch.
DAY 90

Who this is built for

Gibbeon works best with established Chinese manufacturers: companies with real revenue, existing exports, and margins that can support a genuine European push. Most clients sell CE-markable products at an order value high enough to justify dedicated sales development, and have at least one team member who can operate in English. That said, every company's situation is a little different. If you have a specific certification timeline, a niche product category, or another special requirement, tell us anyway. We regularly adapt the pilot to fit.

LET'S TALK

Tell us about your product and where you're trying to sell it. We'll say honestly whether a pilot makes sense before either of us spends anything.
