Distribution & Matchmaking.

The right introduction, made at the right level, changes everything. Our customised matchmaking starts with evaluation and pre-qualification, and we are prepared to say no when the fit is not right, which is precisely why our introductions convert.

The problem

A cold introduction spends the one thing you can’t get back.

A senior buyer will give a brand their attention once. Waste it on an unqualified pitch, or the wrong distributor, and the door does not reopen. Retailers back the names they already know, so the newcomer without relationship capital rarely gets the meeting at all.

And the wrong partner is worse than none. A distributor without real, current relationships parks the stock, drifts on price and burns the market, and the brand spends the next year cleaning up after an introduction it should never have taken.

How Valérie works

Pre-qualified on both sides, or not made at all.

Valérie evaluates and pre-qualifies before anyone is introduced, so the meeting is market-ready on both sides and the introduction goes to the decision-maker, not the buying office. The relationship capital behind it is thirty-five years of showing up, introducing well and being right about fit.

Sisology is what that looks like in practice: from Campomarzio70 in Italy to Galeries Lafayette, Harvey Nichols, Liberty and Skins, door by door, each partnership chosen for quality over speed. The willingness to say “not yet” is not a soft touch, it is the reason the introductions that are made convert.

What this covers.

  • 01

    Customised matchmaking

    Evaluation and pre-qualification first, so every introduction is market-ready before it is made, and the ones that are not ready are not made at all.

  • 02

    Senior-level introductions

    Direct to the decision-maker, not the buying office, with the relationship capital of thirty-five years and sixty countries behind it.

    Sisology: door by door, market by market
  • 03

    For buyers and distributors

    Shortlists of genuinely market-ready brands against a buyer’s exact criteria, pre-screened so a senior buyer’s time is never spent on a brand that is not ready.

  • 04

    Contract negotiation

    Guidance through terms, exclusivity and negotiation until the partnership is signed, sensible and actually working.
