How We Work
Our professional commitment begins by forming long-term, trusted relationships with clients. Kyle Vraa has been active in his fields of specialization as both an independent contractor and salaried employee for over 30 years, helping many clients time and again with their research, analysis and translation needs. These trusted, dependable relationships mean that clients are assured of working with the same highly qualified analyst every time – one who truly understands each client’s particular business model and distinctive information requirements. Long-term clients never have to worry about getting an analyst “up to speed” or familiar with their business.
Kyle can work either independently on assigned outside projects for clients or as a more integrated member of your in-house team on a contract base to expand and augment research and analysis capabilities on specific projects that require more of a team effort.
Going on a fact-finding mission? Putting together a trade delegation? With sufficient advance notice, Kyle can accompany you abroad as a paid consultant with expertise in the target country. Having a member on your team who is able to speak to your potential customers and trade partners creates invaluable goodwill. Even in an environment where everybody can speak English, clients remember that delegation XYZ had that guy who could speak Norwegian (for example). It is a capability that clearly distinguishes a company from the competition. And you get the advantage of always knowing what is going on around you when your foreign partners switch back to their own language.
