Especially the following tasks are perfectly suitable for my assistance in prepa- ration and practical implementation:

Basis of cooperation between us

3. There exist different possibilities of cooperation between us:

• Marketing assistance ‘on demand’
  Depending on the task-structure we can agree on a few days per month – also e. g. in order to accompany permanently your activities in Europe and developing new ideas/ways from time to time
• Cooperation in the frame of a defined project
  You call for my assistance on a project-by-project basis based on separate contracts
• Mixture of these two, including a ‚success portion’
  For projects including an implementation portion (e. g. for the organization and implementation of a sales network - based on my suggestions) we can agree on a ‚success portion’ of the remuneration

Reasons for a cooperation with me …
