Book a 30-Minute Scoping Call

To book

Email 1@mountainxie.com with the four things below, and I will come back with times in your timezone.

Prefer to message: WhatsApp +86 137 1713 4000

The four answers are what make thirty minutes enough. Without them the first call gets spent on background and we need a second one.

Send these four things

What you make — product category and roughly what annual volume.
Where it is made now — one factory or several, and how long you have been with them.
How many suppliers are in the BOM — an estimate is fine. This is the single number that sizes the work.
Who manages it today — a China office, someone flying in, the supplier's own reports, or nobody in particular.

What happens on the call

I read your four answers before we talk, so no time goes on background.
We work through which parts of your China manufacturing are currently nobody's job — usually there are two or three, and usually one of them is tooling ownership.
You get a range on the monthly retainer on the call, sized against your supplier count — not a proposal three weeks later.
If it is not a fit, I say so and tell you what would need to change. This only works as a multi-year relationship, so a bad fit costs me more than it costs you.

What this call is not

Not a sales presentation. There are no slides.
Not a free consulting session. If you want a specific problem solved rather than a department run, say so in the email and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right call at all.
Not a quote for parts. I own factories, but that is not what is being sold here — see how I handle the obvious conflict.

Building your first product, not running a supply chain?

Then this is the wrong call — a retainer would be the wrong instrument, and I would rather say that here than on a Zoom. The startup-stage door is still open and still free:
