How We Helped a US Telecommunications Company Scale Operations and Boost Revenue by 300% in Just 60 Days Through Strategic Countertrade Mechanisms
Here's What We Do Better
Background
Our client, a Telecommunications company based in the United States, was facing significant challenges in scaling its operations. The company’s products and services included a wide range of telecommunications offerings, such as mobile and fixed-line services, broadband internet, and satellite TV, catering to consumers and businesses in the domestic market. Despite a strong portfolio and customer base, the company struggled with high operational costs, limited global presence, and difficulty in accessing new markets.
Problem
The primary issues our client faced included:
-
Difficulty scaling operations due to high production, operation, and transaction costs.
-
Limited global presence and access to new markets.
-
Inability to establish new supplier bases, distribution channels, and sales networks in foreign countries.
COUNTERTRADE SOLUTIONS
SOLUTION
To help the client overcome these challenges and achieve their desired results, we implemented multiple countertrade mechanisms:
Solution #1
Offset Agreements: We facilitated direct and indirect offset agreements with suppliers in various countries, leading to a 70% cost reduction in production and operation costs. These agreements allowed the client to invest in local suppliers’ industries, in exchange for access to their goods and services at reduced prices.
Solution #2
Joint Ventures: We assisted the client in establishing joint ventures with local telecommunications companies in target countries, enabling them to access new markets, customer bases, and distribution channels.
Solution #3
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) Agreements: We negotiated BOT agreements with foreign governments for the construction of telecommunications infrastructure, such as cell towers and fiber optic networks. These agreements allowed our client to build and operate the infrastructure for a set period before transferring ownership to the host country, ensuring a steady revenue stream and long-term presence in the market.
Implementation
To implement these countertrade mechanisms, we took the following steps:
-
Conducted a thorough analysis of the client’s operations, identifying areas for cost reduction and potential new markets for expansion.
-
Identified suitable suppliers, local telecommunications companies, and foreign governments for offset agreements, joint ventures, and BOT agreements, respectively.
-
Negotiated and finalized contracts with all parties involved, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations and laws in each country.
