As
an island nation we have exported our products for centuries, yet
there are still a surprisingly large number of business people in
the United Kingdom that think Exporting is difficult or only for the
larger firm.
Equally
there are many that think they are "exporting" but in fact
are not doing nearly as well as they might in their overseas markets.
Often
these situations are brought about by ignorance or failure to devote
the time that is needed to establishing exactly what is required by
the market and how best to provide that product or service. The wrong
market is chosen or the wrong product launched. The local representative
isn't the best you could have. . Your team back here in UK perhaps
hasn't been adequately trained to deal with the market and so on.
We
can help in the above situations and in others related to Exporting.
Want to choose
your first overseas market? There's a lot to consider, as we can show
you.
Need to find an
agent? Be careful - there are some awful ones out there!
Having trouble
with your representative overseas? Maybe we will be able to point
out why. (In some cases it may be almost impossible to get rid of
a bad agent!)
Can't get paid?
We can show you how to get your money on time - every time.
Our team of specialists
in Exporting have all had at least twenty years (some almost half
a century!) of successfully shipping goods and services from the UK
to markets around the world. They have the contacts and experience
to show you the shortcuts that work - and more importantly the ones
that don't! How to present yourself overseas with the full support
of the British Embassy locally - and more tricks besides!
Before committing
to an overseas market, a short FREE meeting with one of our team could
save you from a lot of embarrassment and waste. Do you know:
What is considered
bad manners in the Middle East?
What makes Japanese
business people think we are disgusting?
What colours should
you not use in China?
Does the translation
of your promotional literature work in the chosen language? (Even
the mighty General Motors fell into the trap of marketing the Vauxhall
Nova in Spain - only to realise too late that "No va" means
"It won't go" in Spanish! Ooops!)
If they can make
mistakes - so can you.
