Bao Nguyen introduces companies with a confirmed need and a deadline to the firms built to handle it.

Independent, selective introductions. Not a provider in any market I work, and not a buyer. One introduction, both sides in writing, then I step out.

I don't do the work either side is buying. I'm not a consultant, a distributor, a contractor or a crew, and I don't hold stock. That is the whole reason an introduction from me is worth something to the side that receives it.

Who pays is settled before the first email goes out. The other side pays nothing and is never asked to. When a firm is paying me for an introduction, I say so in the introduction. I don't share names before both sides have agreed to meet, and I'd say the same to them about you.

If you have the need, tell me what it is in a line or two. If you provide the service, tell me which clients you want more of. I reply myself.
