Illustrative strategies

Different starting points. Practical routes forward.

There is no standard Spanish market-entry playbook. The route depends on your proposition, proof, existing position and appetite for investment.

These are fictional draft examples. They will be replaced with Jeroen’s actual experience before launch.

01Market entry

Anchor customer first

Dutch industrial technology provider · Catalonia

A 120-day entry plan built around 25 priority accounts, one local channel partner and a paid pilot with an anchor customer before investing in a Spanish team.

Strategic logicProve relevance and build a local reference before adding fixed cost.

03Growth

From distributor to key accounts
