Strategy that sets you up for global success

Breaking into international markets requires more than ambition—it requires the right plan, the right partners, and a commercial model built for scale. Mike works with CEOs and commercial leaders to define international strategy with precision, balancing market opportunity with operational reality.

He maps the right entry points, designs profitable pricing and margin structures, and builds a clear GTM roadmap so brands know exactly how to enter, grow, and win.

If your expansion demands a structured, evidence-based strategy, Mike ensures every decision is grounded, tested, and aligned for long-term success.

Execution that builds momentum and drives revenue

Where many consultants stop at the strategy deck, Mike rolls up his sleeves. Whether stepping in as a Fractional VP of International or guiding your team through a market-entry program, he brings operational rigour and hands-on leadership to accelerate results.

From distributor scouting and vetting, to building partner onboarding systems, to negotiating commercial agreements, Mike ensures execution stays sharp, timely, and commercially sound.

The outcome: real-world traction, aligned partners, and sales pipelines that turn global ambition into measurable growth.

What Mike's clients say

Partnering with Dearin & Associates completely changed the trajectory of our global expansion. Their Blueprint for International Success gave us the structure and clarity we’d been missing, helping us refine our pricing, optimise our systems, and build the right team to scale internationally. Within eight months, we secured seven distributors across Europe and generated purchase orders that more than covered our investment. We now have the confidence, strategy, and momentum to grow Redsbaby into a truly global brand.

Dearin & Associates gave us the clarity and direction we needed to expand confidently across the Asia-Pacific region. Their in-depth market analysis and actionable recommendations identified the best countries to target, outlined key pricing and distribution strategies, and removed much of the uncertainty around international growth. Thanks to their expertise, we now have a clear, prioritised roadmap for scaling Backdoor Shoes globally with focus and confidence.

SURVIVAL

Mike Todd consulted to Love To Dream over a four month period. He was responsible for working directly with our distributors to maximise sales and orders. Amongst many things Mike organised an international distributor conference in Germany, all content and presentation was done by Mike and the markets responded very positively to the conference, so much so this is now a yearly event. Mike also advised on various strategic decisions that have helped increase our revenue to date. Always coming to work a vibrant and lovely disposition I would not hesitate to work with Mike again.
