Selecting the right partners in a new market is one of the most critical decisions an automotive brand can make. Hawksmoor Global Partnerships assists with the selection of dealers and importers, ensuring that brands find partners who share their vision and are capable of driving sales and providing excellent aftersales service.

Partner Selection

We help brands and dealer groups identify and establish partnerships with the most suitable dealers and importers by:

• Evaluating Partner Capabilities: We assess potential partners’ operational capacity, market reach, financial stability, and commitment to customer service to ensure they can effectively represent the brand.
• Aligning Values and Objectives: We ensure that the selected dealers and importers align with the brand’s long-term business objectives, maintaining consistent standards for sales and aftersales services.

Helping Dealer Groups and Importers Negotiate Agreements

Hawksmoor Global Partnerships also provides support to dealer groups and importers seeking to negotiate and secure agreements with automotive brands. Our expertise ensures that both parties enter into favourable arrangements that drive long-term success.

• Negotiating Terms: We support dealer groups and importers in negotiating the most advantageous terms for sales performance, aftersales support, and exclusivity arrangements, ensuring that both sides are satisfied with the agreement.
• Establishing Performance Metrics: We assist in defining clear performance metrics and sales targets, ensuring that dealers and importers have a roadmap for success that aligns with the brand’s expectations.
• Aftersales and Service Support: High-quality aftersales services are critical for maintaining customer satisfaction. We ensure that agreements include robust provisions for aftersales support, including parts supply, service agreements, and warranty management.

Effective marketing is key to establishing a strong presence in any new market. Hawksmoor Global Partnerships works with brands to develop targeted marketing strategies that resonate with local consumers and differentiate the brand from competitors.

Tailored Marketing Campaigns

• Brand Positioning: We assist brands in positioning their products to appeal to local consumers, taking into account market trends, cultural preferences, and economic conditions.

Navigating the complex regulatory landscape of new markets can be a significant challenge for automotive brands. Hawksmoor Global Partnerships ensures that all regulatory hurdles are addressed, so brands can focus on establishing their presence and growing market share.

Ensuring Compliance Across Regions

We have extensive experience with the regulatory requirements in different regions, including emissions and safety standards, import/export restrictions, and environmental laws. Our regulatory compliance services include:

• Meeting Local Emissions and Safety Standards: We guide brands through the process of modifying their vehicles to meet local emissions and safety requirements. This includes certification and documentation to avoid any delays or legal issues.
• Navigating Import/Export Regulations: Customs duties, taxes, and paperwork can slow down market entry. We assist with ensuring that all import/export regulations are met efficiently, allowing vehicles to enter the market with minimal disruptions.

By aligning regulatory compliance with a strong strategic plan, Hawksmoor Global Partnerships ensures that businesses can confidently enter new markets and build sustainable growth.

An effective dealer and importer agreement is essential for ensuring long-term success in a new market. Hawksmoor Global Partnerships provides expert assistance in structuring agreements that benefit all parties, fostering a strong partnership between automotive brands and their dealer or importer networks.

Key Elements of Agreement Structuring

• Sales Targets and Performance: We work with brands and their partners to set realistic sales targets and performance incentives. These ensure that dealers and importers are motivated to meet and exceed expectations while maintaining alignment with brand objectives.
• Aftersales and Warranty Management: The customer experience doesn’t end after the sale. We ensure that agreements include clear provisions for aftersales support, including spare parts availability and warranty management, to build long-term customer loyalty.
• Marketing and Promotion Responsibilities: Our agreements outline each party’s responsibilities for marketing and promoting the brand within the new market. This ensures that the brand gains visibility and market share through coordinated efforts.

By structuring agreements that provide clarity and alignment, Hawksmoor Global Partnerships helps foster productive and enduring relationships between brands and their local partners.

The automotive industry is dynamic, and brands must remain adaptable to changing market conditions. Hawksmoor Global Partnerships provides ongoing support to ensure that brands and their dealer/importer networks continue to thrive after the initial market entry.

By offering ongoing guidance, Hawksmoor Global Partnerships ensures that automotive brands not only succeed in their initial market entry but continue to grow and adapt to changing conditions over time.
