International Sales Strategy
Is Brexit an issue? Have you got a plan? How can you improve it?
Before embarking on your international sales journey, have you reviewed your strategy?
Replicating home-market sales success is a different prospect when it comes to a new international market. Many companies jump headlong into the challenge and regret not having planned sufficiently for the differences and challenges they subsequently experienced. With a mission to inform, educate and motivate, ReganStein management consultants has developed a programme to assist companies with their international sales strategy.
This programme is designed to help the Small to Medium Size Enterprise (SME) to either build a new international sales plan or to improve current plans. Its goal is to help cover all the bases in a well thought out and practical International Sales Strategy.
Expected Outcomes
Developing sales internationally is an exciting and potentially lucrative opportunity for SME’s who have been successful in their home market. However, many companies have not had the experience in building a sales strategy suitable for new foreign markets and different cultures.
Having a good foundation to your strategy will be of enormous benefit in taking those early steps. This programme will help you to evaluate your current thoughts and assist you in formulating your business plan for export growth and expansion. Our experienced consultants will provide you with expert solutions.
