$2M – $5M Established but still in growth mode

Export Ambition

Where do you stand on international growth?

We already export — we want to grow it significantly International revenue exists but we're not capturing the full opportunity
We're ready to start exporting in the next 12 months The decision is made — we just need the right partner to build it
We're seriously considering it but haven't committed Export is attractive but we need to validate the opportunity first
International growth isn't a priority right now We're focused on the domestic market for the foreseeable future
Q5
5 of 8
The Challenge

What's the biggest blocker to your international growth right now?

We don't know which markets to target first Market selection, prioritisation and entry strategy
We know the markets but can't build a pipeline Identifying and reaching the right international buyers
We have pipeline but struggle to close internationally Conversion, proposal, relationship and commercial mechanics
Our marketing doesn't work internationally Positioning, content and channels that land with global buyers
All of the above — we don't have any of this sorted We need to build the whole export growth engine from scratch
Q6
6 of 8
Internal Resources

Do you have dedicated international business development resources?

Yes — a full team focused on it We have multiple people working international growth
Partially — one person, and they wear other hats Someone is nominally responsible but has limited bandwidth
No — it falls to the CEO or founders International growth depends on the leadership team's attention
No — and that's exactly the problem We know we need it but haven't been able to build it
Q7
7 of 8
Urgency

When do you need to see international results?

As soon as possible — we're behind already Competitors are moving and we need to catch up
Within 3–6 months We want early traction quickly before a full commitment
Within 6–12 months We're planning ahead and want to build the right foundation
We're thinking 1–2 years out Long-term strategic planning, not an immediate priority

Final Question

Are you aware of the Austrade EMDG program that can reimburse up to 50% of export advisory costs?

Yes — we're already claiming it EMDG is part of our current financial plan
Yes, we've heard of it — but haven't applied We know it exists but haven't pursued it yet
No — this is the first I'm hearing of it I'd be interested in understanding how this works
🎯 Strong Fit

You look like exactly
who we build this for.

Based on your answers, Quarterdeck Labs is likely a strong match for your business. Your sector, scale, and ambition align closely with the companies we've built our model around.

Fit assessment

The fastest next step is a free 30-minute Discovery Call — or go straight to the $1,000 Growth Audit if you're ready to move quickly. The Audit fee is fully refunded on retainer conversion.

🔍 Possible Fit

There's a real case here.
Let's have an honest conversation.

Your situation has genuine alignment with what we do — but there are some areas where we'd want to understand more before committing. A Discovery Call will tell us both quickly whether this is worth pursuing.

Fit assessment

A free 30-minute Discovery Call is the right first step. No commitment, no pitch — just a direct assessment of whether we can actually help.

🧭 Not the Right Match — Right Now

We're probably not
the right fit today.

Based on your answers, Quarterdeck Labs may not be the most effective use of your resources at this point. That doesn't mean we can never help — it means the timing or fit isn't there right now.

Fit assessment

If your situation changes — you grow into the ICP range, lock in an export commitment, or your sector shifts — we'd encourage you to come back. We'd rather tell you this now than take your money and not deliver.
