| Do your employees have the proper understanding of the specific and unusual requirements each foreign market presents to your company? Have you analyzed the market risks and potential of an international presence? Do you have reliable local assistance in the international markets best suited to your product or service? |
| As globalization progresses, the world is full of opportunities to source and supply products outside the United States. This process is not right for every company, since dealing internationally requires special attention to a wide variety of areas, including credit risk, export and import requirements, differing quality standards, currencies, and language. Nonetheless, if you believe this is an area that you should explore, or if your operation has taken some steps, but could use additional guidance, we believe that our experience in building export business, and (often of equal importance) in sourcing product from overseas, can be of value to you. We have had experience managing a large international sales force with millions of dollars in revenue, including operating a worldwide force of direct employees and commissioned representatives for dozens of countries. Additionally, we have worked with vendors worldwide. The following are just a sampling of the countries we have done business with: England China Australia Brazil Netherlands Korea Greece Chile Japan Spain Canada Israel Italy Taiwan Germany France Switzerland Turkey |
