Strategy · Advisory

Senior eCom advice. By the hour. No retainer, no commitment.

Bring your question - execution, strategy, or investment decision. Each session is 2 hours with a practitioner who has run Shopee and TikTok Shop stores. You pay for advice, not a sales pitch.

From 4M VND per 2-hour session.

Vietnam-market specialist · Founded 2019 · Shopee Partner · TikTok Shop Partner

If Advisory is the wrong fit, we will flag it after reviewing your intake brief - and reroute or refund before the session begins.

What you get

What every session delivers.

Every tier includes the same delivery structure. The price reflects the seniority of the advisor and the complexity of the question type.

Pre-session intake

You submit a short brief when you book. The advisor reviews your question and platform setup before the session - so the call starts with answers, not clarifications.

2 hours of structured advice

Uninterrupted access to a practitioner with live Shopee and TikTok Shop experience. The session is yours - no pitch at the end.

Written session summary

Delivered within 24 hours - a structured record of what was discussed and the answers and recommendations given.

Prioritized action list

Concrete next steps in priority order, ready to hand to your team the same day.

Session recording

Available on request, with mutual consent. Shared as a private link after the session.

2-week follow-up

A brief check-in by message at the 2-week mark to confirm implementation is on track. Included in Department and Executive tiers.

Why LMC

Why this works.

Advisory is structured as a paid service - not a discovery call, not a free consultation that doubles as a pitch. That changes what happens in the room.

No pitch at the end

You pay for the session. The advisor has no incentive to propose a retainer. You get direct answers, not a reasons-to-hire-us deck.

Practitioners, not account managers

The people in the session have run Shopee and TikTok Shop stores - they have touched the dashboards, optimized the SKUs, and managed the campaigns.

No retainer means honest scope

A fixed 2-hour block with no follow-on commitment means the advisor has no vested interest in making your problem bigger. You get the answer, not a project.

Honest referral if Advisory is wrong

If your question needs a research deliverable, ongoing execution, or an embedded team - we will say so in the session and route you to the right service.

What this is not

Before you book a 2-hour session.

Advisory is right for you if

  • You have a specific question about Shopee or TikTok Shop that needs an expert answer.
  • You are making a platform, budget, or market decision and want informed input before you commit.
  • You need one clear answer from a practitioner - not a proposal, not a team, not a research report.

Need something different?

  • You need someone to run your store or manage campaigns on an ongoing basis.

    Managed Marketplace Operations

    Advisory is for decisions. Ongoing execution is a separate service.

  • You need market sizing, competitor audits, or a written strategic plan.

    Market Research

    Those are research deliverables, not 2-hour sessions.

  • You want unlimited ongoing strategic access and an embedded eCom team.

    Full-Stack Partnership

    Full-Stack Partnership includes an Advisory retainer as part of scope.

After the session

One conversation, several paths.

Decisions outlast the session

Most calls surface a clear next move - LMC, a different vendor, or in-house.

You get the answers you need and decide to launch or grow on Shopee or TikTok Shop.

Your session surfaces a brand protection risk - counterfeits, gray imports, or unauthorized resellers.

You want ongoing strategic access built into your eCom model, not one-off sessions.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask before booking a session.

What happens in the 2-hour session?

The session is a structured conversation. You submit an intake brief when you book; the advisor prepares answers before the call. You receive a written summary and a prioritized action list within 24 hours of the session.

How do I know which tier to pick?

Specialist: execution questions - "How do I set up my Shopee affiliate program?" or "Why is my TikTok Shop ad ROAS dropping?" Department: strategy questions - "Should I launch on TikTok Shop or double down on Shopee?" Executive: investment decisions - "Is this acquisition worth pursuing? How should I evaluate this distributor?"

Is there a refund if the session is not useful?

We review your intake brief before the session and will flag if your question is outside Advisory scope. If we cannot give you a useful answer, we will say so upfront and discuss a reroute or refund before the session begins.

What does Advisory not cover?

Legal opinions, contract review, and regulatory filings - we refer those to Vietnamese counsel. Topics that require a full research deliverable (market sizing, competitor audit) belong in Market Research. Ongoing execution is Managed Marketplace Operations.

Can I book multiple sessions?

Yes. Sessions are independent - book as many as you need. There is no volume discount. Advisory is designed for one-off expert questions. If you want ongoing strategic access, Full-Stack Partnership embeds an Advisory retainer in scope.

Do I need to prepare anything before the session?

Yes. When you book, you will receive a short intake form asking for your question, your current platform setup, and any context that will help the advisor prepare. A well-prepared brief means the session starts with answers, not clarifications.

Your question has an answer. Book the right session and get it.

Pick the tier that fits your question type. Each session is 2 hours, paid upfront, with a practitioner who has run these stores. No pitch. No retainer.
