Frequently asked questions.
- Can FOTS act as our UK sales team?
- Yes. We provide managed field sales and account development, reporting to your international team.
- Do we need a UK distributor first?
- Not always. We help assess whether a distributor, wholesaler or direct model suits your category and margins.
- How does UK retail differ from other markets?
- Channel structure, wholesale routes, category review cycles and pricing expectations all differ. That local detail is what we bring.
- What reporting do international teams get?
- Store-level activity and commercial reporting, plus market intelligence on competitors and pricing.
- Can you support a pilot before full launch?
- Yes. A focused city or regional pilot is a common, lower-risk entry point.
