Sales channel management
Qi3 helps its clients to develop sales channel strategies, to find and select channel partners (distributors) and, where appropriate, establishes methodologies and metrics for the management of direct sales forces. Qi3 has developed ‘world-class distribution’ as a framework for establishing and managing successful long term channel relationships.

Qi3 works with its clients to ensure that they have well founded business strategies. It then helps them to translate these strategies into tactics and operations.
Acquisitions and mergers
Qi3 can represent either buying or selling parties in the acquisition process. With its broad experience it can conduct commercial due diligence, and utilises its network of business associates to do financial and technical due diligence.

Business improvement
