WHY GIOVANNI

TRADE-BUSINESS EXPERIENCE.
GTM THINKING.
COMMERCIAL DELIVERY.

Giovanni sits in the useful overlap between trade-business operator and commercial growth lead. He understands the customer, can translate product into a clear market proposition, and is comfortable taking responsibility for content, partnerships, pipeline and commercial conversations.

GTM & MARKET DEVELOPMENT

Positioning, messaging, content, customer research and routes to market.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

Prospecting, meetings, proposals, negotiation and commercial follow-through.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

Manufacturers, suppliers, trade bodies, affiliates and distribution relationships.

90-DAY ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK & COMMERCIAL METHOD

ONE METHOD. FOUR POSSIBLE TRACKS.

Each track uses the same three-stage method. The activity changes, but the commercial discipline remains consistent.

DAYS 1–3001

30 DAYS — STRATEGY

Define the opportunity, audience, proposition, commercial model and delivery plan.

Cumulative Stage 1
DAYS 31–6002

60 DAYS — ACTIVATION

Take the agreed work into the market and create live commercial momentum.

Cumulative Stage 2
DAYS 61–9003

90 DAYS — VALIDATION

Measure the response, advance viable opportunities and agree what should happen next.

Cumulative Stage 3
NoteThese represent progressive, cumulative phases (Days 1–30, Days 31–60, Days 61–90). Commercial momentum and market engagement begin immediately in Month 1, not solely on Day 90.
COMMERCIAL EXECUTION MODEL

THREE ROUTES TO VALUE

How commercial engagements translate into tangible value for Mucka and trade businesses. These represent conceptual working routes, not predetermined transaction terms.

STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT TRACKS

FOUR PRACTICAL WAYS TO CREATE VALUE.

Each track can stand alone, or become part of a wider working relationship. The first step is to select the priority, agree the available capacity and define the outcomes that matter most to Mucka.

TRACK 01

GROW THE EXISTING MUCKA PRODUCT

GTM · BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT · PARTNERSHIPS

Strategy (Days 1–30)

Refine the priority audience, market proposition, content themes, customer-research plan and commercial-partner map.

Activation (Days 31–60)

Create thought-leadership content, interviews and product demonstrations; support events and roadshows; conduct commercial outreach; and begin affiliate and distribution conversations.

Validation (Days 61–90)

Review market response, identify the strongest acquisition channels, progress viable partners and define the next-stage scale plan.

Target Outcome

A repeatable GTM engine, an active commercial-partner pipeline and measurable growth in qualified reach, enquiries, trials and product adoption.

TRACK 02

BUILD MUCKA GROUP DEAL FLOW

OUTREACH · OPPORTUNITY DEVELOPMENT · M&A

IMPROVE · ACQUIRE · JOIN MUCKA GROUP

Strategy (Days 1–30)

Define the ideal business profile, qualification model, owner proposition, outreach strategy and three routes through which an appropriate trade business could work with Mucka.

Activation (Days 31–60)

Launch founder-led content, LinkedIn outreach and other lead-generation activity; create owner-facing materials; hold introductory meetings; and begin assessing interested businesses.

Validation (Days 61–90)

Separate interesting conversations from commercially viable opportunities, assess live businesses and advance suitable opportunities towards professional financial, legal and commercial diligence.

Target Outcome

A qualified owner pipeline and credible opportunities for consultancy, investment, group membership or acquisition.

TRACK 03

LAUNCH A MUCKA-POWERED TRADE BUSINESS

GTM · PARTNERSHIPS · VENTURE BUILD

Strategy (Days 1–30)

Design the market, geography, service range, pricing, commercial partnerships, unit economics and asset-light delivery model.

Activation (Days 31–60)

Build the brand, customer journey and operational systems; configure Mucka as the operating platform; and develop the subcontractor, supplier and manufacturer network.

Validation (Days 61–90)

Run a controlled local pilot, deliver early work where operationally ready, measure the commercial response and decide whether the model should be refined, stopped or scaled.

Target Outcome

A validated operating model, a live pilot and an evidence-led decision about further investment and expansion.

Any launch remains subject to the necessary technical competence, insurance, contracts, accreditations, compliance and delivery partners.

TRACK 04

GRFT × MUCKA LAUNCH PARTNERSHIP

SPONSORSHIP · AUDIENCE · PRODUCT INTEGRATION

Strategy (Days 1–30)

Agree the GRFT member offer, campaign integration, launch content, product placement and measurement framework.

Activation (Days 31–60)

Place Mucka naturally inside the GRFT customer journey and deliver the agreed launch-partnership activity.

Validation (Days 61–90)

Report engagement, product interest, referrals and feedback, then assess the case for a longer-term strategic relationship.

Target Outcome

Relevant market visibility, tracked GRFT-member engagement and a route to customer acquisition, product adoption and practical market feedback.

ABOUT THE TARGETS

The target-outcome column describes what each track would be designed to achieve. It does not guarantee a particular financial or commercial result.

Final numerical targets would be agreed only after confirming the selected track, scope, budget, available access, decision-making support and committed working days.

ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

SCOPE, CAPACITY & COMMERCIALS

WHAT CAN REALISTICALLY BE DELIVERED

The achievable result depends on the selected track, agreed scope, available access, supporting budget and number of committed working days. A full strategy, activation and validation programme cannot be delivered through one advisory day per month.

1 DAY PER MONTHAdvisory input, review and senior guidance only.
1 DAY PER WEEKOne clearly defined and focused workstream.
2–3 DAYS PER WEEKEmbedded strategy, activation and commercial ownership across the selected track.

INDICATIVE WORKING BASIS

Commercial principles for structuring the initial 90-day engagement.

INITIAL COMMITMENTMinimum 90 days
EXPECTED DAY RATECirca £500
WORKING PATTERNAgreed around the selected track and required capacity
LOCATIONRemote-first, with attendance at Mucka’s Brighton/Hove base where useful
COMPENSATIONMonthly retainer, fixed project fee, day rate, commission, revenue share, equity or an agreed hybrid structure
TARGETSConfirmed once the scope, resources and committed capacity are agreed

Final scope, deliverables, targets and compensation would be agreed around the selected track and level of commitment.

The initial building phase should include an agreed cash fee. Commission, revenue share or equity may recognise additional value created, but should not replace payment for the strategy, implementation and working time required.
