Business Growth through Export Expansion
It is my business to make sure that yours is a success story. Sustainable, long term relationships drive opportunity. Therefore, the first thing I do, is to set realistic expectations about what can be achieved and how.
Most of my partner companies have been with me for many years. Our first point of contact though, is often is an approach about running sales and business development for them in markets they wish to enter.
Through a series of consultations, companies come to understand that being empowered to adapt their business offering to new markets is much more likely to lead to long-term business success. So, instead of directly selling on their behalf I become a facilitator, or even a tool – helping them enter new networks as and when they are ready.
So, are you export ready?
1. What does marketing mean to you?
Many respond with international fairs and sales… this is very elementary and shows me how much support a client might need.
2. What are you solving for a (Nordic) client?
This shows me how much they understand the market they are wishing to enter as well as digging down into their understanding of their own product or service.
3. What does your business model look like?
Very often companies that talk to me say they have saturated their local market and see export as a way of expanding their reach. It is not always the case however, that a domestic business model can be applied to other markets.
