Global direct sales consulting

From Opportunity
to Global Impact.

Xpand Global helps direct sales, relationship-driven and consumer brands successfully enter, navigate and scale in the world's most complex and rewarding markets.

Our perspective comes from inside the business—not from the sidelines. Founder Pat Berry has spent more than two decades in C-Suite and international direct sales roles, building teams, opening markets, guiding turnarounds and helping organizations scale across multiple regions.

Because successful expansion is not one decision. It is dozens of connected decisions—entity, product, pricing, field model, compensation, payments, logistics, technology and leadership—working as one operating system.

International growth does not reward copy-and-paste thinking. Every market has different rules, economics, culture, consumer expectations and field behavior.

The Xpand operating lens

Find the friction
before the field does.

Most international failures are not one catastrophic mistake. They are a chain of small disconnects across the systems the field touches every day.

Specialized advisory capabilities

The pieces are different.
The strategy cannot be.

Xpand helps leadership teams connect the specialized disciplines that too often get purchased separately and implemented without a common operating blueprint.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Payments & Payout Strategy

Merchant processing, distributor payouts, local payment methods, chargeback controls and commission-payment infrastructure aligned with the operating model.

We help define requirements, evaluate partners, manage handoffs, surface conflicts and keep every specialist working from the same commercial and operating strategy. Xpand can work with your existing partners or help assemble the right team.
