I had the pleasure of working with KateChanResearch on a project for market research and an ensuing partner search for an infant-bottle producer. As I have worked with many consulting firms for similar causes, I must truly say working with KateChanResearch was one of the most enjoyable experiences. The results delivered were beyond expectations and there was a great deal of interaction with Kate and her team. Kate always reacted very quickly to sudden new requests. I was constantly updated on the progress of the project, deadlines were always held, and the information provided was precise and actually more than originally demanded. I can sincerely recommend KateChanResearch for any company looking to enter the Chinese market, I myself will not hesitate to work with Kate again.

Royal Danish Embassy in Beijing

 

In 2006 and 2007, Kate Chan (Chen Xiang) was my colleague at the Embassy of Denmark, Beijing. Employed as a ‘commercial officer’, Kate joined a number of projects across a wide array of industries. Kate’s main focus was market surveys and she had numerous satisfied clients. Among others that included a heavy machinery company selling equipment to the mining industry, a company selling software to soccer associations, a project on cosmetic products, a brake manufacturer and a report on offshore fish farming for a fishing company. Kate also successfully completed market surveys on behalf of various associations, including a graphic industry association. It was clear to both her clients and colleagues, that Kate was both professional and very diligent when conducting the surveys. It required stamina, skills and creativity to carry out the surveys in the way, Kate did. I thus give Kate my warmest recommendation.

Alfa Smith

KateChanResearch approached us and introduced us to the services we could provide. At the time, we did have a project in hand that required some outside assistance; in the end, we chose KateChanResearch to execute the project.

it turned out to be a very good decision. Although the market research we want to conduct is to have a preliminary understanding of our products; although the knowledge of the relevant industry of the product is very limited in the market, KateChanResearch still enter the project task very quickly, maintain each submission time they promised, and submit the final report on time. All of this plays a very important role in our future business strategy for this particular product.

the choice of KateChanResearch, we get the full value under the price, I will not hesitate to recommend the KateChanResearch service to you.

LaFrance Company

 

Our company has been operating in China through joint venture for 5 years. Therefore, when we need to select a site for our new WFOE, we have enough experience to let us know that we need a qualified consultant to guide us throughout the process. Through many choices, we finally chose Kate Chan's consulting services. Through Ms. Chan's knowledge and efforts, we have found an optimal site for our new factory that meets all our target requirements, including: location, cost, available services, and budget within the time frame. Ms. Chan is a testament to her extensive market experience. We didn't waste time on bad site options, and when it came to contract negotiations, she insisted on achieving our target cost to help us win the final victory.

if you are a new entrant to the business in the Chinese market, or even an old player, there is nothing wrong with using qualified consultants. However, like many other companies in China, it is important to choose the right consultant. That's why we can recommend Kate Chan and her company.

Dear Kate, I would like to thank you for your contribution to a successful "Australian Week in China". Your participation in our Social Media and Consumer Trends Seminar was invaluable and appreciated by Austrade, me personally and our delegates. The seminar has received very positive feedback, due in no small part to your successful role in the discussion panel. I hope you too found the experience of being involved in the inaugural "Australia Week in China" activities both enjoyable and valuable. Overall, we had over 700 Australian delegates attend 102 events across China, and around 2,400 Chinese guests also participate. I am sure this will be a landmark in terms of business contracts between Australia and China, and you can rightly say you have very much been part of it. Thanks for your support and I look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with you.

GV21 China Organization

Kate organized for me and my publishing company (LID Editorial), and gave great support to the Chinese women entrepreneurs mentioned in my book ("Emprendedoras Chinas" 2009 "Chinese Women Entrepreneurs", LID Editorial www.lideditorial.com) during their visit to Spain. From May to August, Kate directly contacted and contacted the executive vice president and secretary general of the China Women Entrepreneurs Association. The establishment and assistance of this relationship allowed me, a person who is overseas and affected by jet lag, to maintain good contact with China.
