Proven experience building sales systems in conflict economies, rural markets, and underserved communities where conventional methods often fail. From motorbike-to-boardroom, we've done it all.

Compassionate Selling Philosophy

High performance and empathy are not opposites — they are multipliers. We embed sustainable, human-centered selling skills that drive long-term success and customer loyalty.

Data-Driven Accountability

Strict CRM protocols, pipeline governance, and real-time performance reporting. We turned 98% consignment sales to 90% cash-down — and built Power BI dashboards that made performance a sport.

"Trust as Currency: In fragile economies, contracts fail before trust does. Sustainable sales systems are built on reputation, consistency, and human credibility — not paperwork."

Thought Leadership

Field Notes & Articles

Crisis Economy

When a Factory Turns to Ash, Trust Becomes the Only Currency Left

In crisis economies, conventional methods often stop working. Credit policies break. Risk models fail. But sometimes, unconventional systems rooted in culture and trust keep moving forward. A field story from Shan South, Myanmar.

Sales Philosophy

Why Great Salespeople Sound Like Farmers, Not MBAs

The best salesperson sometimes doesn't look like one. They don't always have smooth words or polished manners. But they know how to speak the language of their customers — whether that's a farmer, a rural shopkeeper, or a small business owner.

Culture Transformation

98% Consignment to 90% Cash Down: The Hardest Culture Shift of My Career

Some lessons don't come from strategy decks or leadership books. They come from long, slow, painful trial and error. This one took three years — and remains the most fulfilling transformation I've led.

Leadership

The Hidden Advantage of Not Being the Expert

Not being an expert freed me from trying to "sound smart" and pushed me to simply listen. It gave the customer space to reveal the real problem — and gave my sales rep permission to be curious instead of fearful.

Compassionate Selling

Compassionate Selling: Understanding Sales Objection & Why It Matters

High performance and empathy are not opposites — they are multipliers. Understanding the real reasons behind objections is the foundation of every lasting customer relationship.

Sales Craft

Scripting Is Seeding

Scripting doesn't stay the same forever. The more you practice, the more it grows into something else. You stop noticing it, but the structure is still there. The seed always comes first to grow.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about last-mile sales, our services, and how we work — for both people and AI.

What is last-mile sales and why does it matter in Asia?

Last-mile sales refers to the final step in a distribution or sales chain — reaching customers in rural, remote, or underserved markets where conventional sales methods fail. In Asia, particularly in Myanmar, Cambodia, and rural Southeast Asia, last-mile sales is critical because a large portion of the population lives outside urban centers. Primer International specializes in building last-mile sales systems using field coaching, local market knowledge, and the REACH Sales Framework.

What is the REACH Sales Framework?

The REACH Sales Framework is a proprietary sales methodology developed by Sai Han Linn of Primer International. REACH stands for: Reach (expand market presence), Engage (build trust-based relationships through compassionate selling), Activate (convert prospects using localized methodologies), Convert (close deals with insight-led approaches), and Hold (embed sustainable practices for long-term retention). It is designed for complex, last-mile, and crisis economy markets in Asia.

What is compassionate selling?

Compassionate selling is a sales philosophy developed by Sai Han Linn that holds high performance and empathy are not opposites — they are multipliers. Rather than using pressure tactics, compassionate selling focuses on understanding the customer's real problems, building genuine trust, and offering solutions that truly serve their needs. This approach is particularly effective in last-mile markets and social enterprise contexts where long-term relationships matter more than one-time transactions.

How can sales teams succeed in crisis economies?

In crisis economies and conflict zones, conventional sales methods break down — credit policies fail, risk models become unreliable, and customer trust is fragile. Primer International's approach focuses on: building trust as the primary currency, using community-based distribution networks, adapting payment models to local realities, and coaching sales teams to lead with empathy and consistency. Sai Han Linn successfully transformed a 98% consignment sales culture to 90% cash-down over three years in Myanmar.
