BECOMING A PARTNER

Let's Work Together

Choosing the right sales organization to be the point of contact with your customers is one of the most important decisions you will have to make.

You need an experienced, dedicated sales team who are as passionate about the industry and your fish as you are.

The products need to be presented in the right way to the right kind of customer to maintain the value of your brand. The message cannot be diluted. It needs to be in the hands of a sales team who has lived and breathed this industry for decades. Who understands the market inside and out. Who are considered experts in the field of Sustainable Aquaculture.


Establishing a high-quality brand in the USA is like walking on a tight rope. There is little margin for error. Once your brand is seen as one of the many commodity products, it takes a lot of time and money to re-establish your market position.


Order takers just won’t work. Sales companies and importers who offer a large selection of competing products just won’t work. On-going education and customer support is essential.


The USA is the most sought-after market in the world. It has the exact type of customer who is willing to pay more for the processes and standards that you have demanded to raise your fish. You don’t cut any corners and you certainly don’t expect the people representing your product too.

We, at The Educated Fish Co, are as demanding as you are.

We don’t represent just any fish farm that comes along. We are as particular as you are as we clearly understand that we are putting our reputation and name 100% behind your brand.  Just like you do every day.


One of the great advantages in working with an experienced sales company is that you will be selling directly to the customer as opposed to an importer. You will have first-hand contact with the companies that sell your products which opens the channel for better communication, mitigates your exposure and allows a quicker reaction to changing market conditions than selling further up the chain.
