Inside a 66-Day Trial: What Actually Gets Built, Week by Week

"Trial period" can mean almost anything, which is exactly why manufacturers are skeptical when they hear it. So here's the actual breakdown of what happens during a 66-day engagement, in the order it happens, so there's no guessing about what you're agreeing to before results are proven.

Weeks 1 to 2: Diagnosis and foundation

Before anything gets built, we audit what's already there: your current digital presence, marketplace listings, brand materials, and how buyers are currently finding (or failing to find) you. This isn't a formality; it determines which of the five areas (global marketing, sales infrastructure, brand authority, brand identity, social media) need the most attention first.

In parallel, we fix the foundational issues that would undercut everything built afterward: inconsistent branding, broken or thin listings, missing certifications presentation.

Weeks 3 to 5: Build phase

This is where the bulk of the visible work happens: website or listing improvements, content and positioning work, the structure for capturing and responding to inbound interest, and the first wave of authority-building activity (PR outreach, marketplace optimization, or content, depending on what the diagnosis showed mattered most).

Nothing in this phase is theoretical. Everything ships and starts being tested against real buyer behavior.

Weeks 6 to 8: Live testing and iteration

By this point the systems are live, and we're watching what actually happens: which messaging gets responses, where inquiries are coming from, what's converting and what isn't. This is also where most of the iteration happens: doubling down on what's working, cutting what isn't.

Weeks 9 to 10: Results and decision point

By the end of the trial, you have concrete numbers: inquiry volume, response rates, qualified leads, whatever metrics matter most for your specific engagement. At that point, you decide whether to continue, and the relationship moves forward only if the trial actually demonstrated value, not on the strength of a sales pitch.

The whole structure exists because we'd rather prove this works on your business specifically than ask you to take it on faith. Sixty-six days is enough time to build something real and see it produce results, without asking for a long-term commitment before either of us knows whether it's working.
