The commercial problem

RFQs that do not fit MOQ or capacity

Unqualified RFQs consume sales engineering time without producing orders.

Mixed distributor and buyer leads

Treating distributors and end buyers as one funnel hides the real performance of each.

Standards and export control

OEM rights, technical standards and export rules must be verified.

  4. Report pipeline value and meetings by source over the real cycle length.

What happens next

  1. Build your plan

    Ten minutes of questions about your market, economics and current setup. You get channel Priority Scores, a landing-page and tracking decision, and every cost line before anyone talks to you.

  2. Strategist review

    A FOCUSADS strategist checks the plan against your accounts and data, and flags anything the engine could not know.

  3. Agreement and access

    You approve scope and fees. We request least-privilege access to your own ad accounts. You never share passwords.

  4. Launch with measurement

    Tracking and landing pages are verified before media spend starts, so the first report measures business results.
