Questions
Straight answers, based on how hubOS works today.
- Do you promise meetings or orders?
- No. We do the research, outreach and follow-up, and you see every email, reply and sample in Partner Hub. Whether a buyer meets or orders is the buyer's decision.
- Who writes and sends the emails?
- We write them with you and send them from hubOS. Replies are saved on the buyer's page in Partner Hub, where your team can read them and answer.
- How do you vet a distributor?
- We check three candidates in depth: where they sell, their terms, references and any red flags, with a 90-minute call each. You get a written comparison and make the decision, with legal review before signing.
