Global direct sales consulting
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.
