Market Entry Planning - Preparing your Business for the US Market

Before you rush to invest in an overseas expansion, it is vital to make a realistic assessment of your export readiness. Developing an export plan forces you to organize your thoughts and identify elements of your business that need improvement to export successfully:

Creating an Export Plan and Secure Funding
Analyzing your Competitors
Developing Market Entry Strategies
Visiting the Market
Marketing Tactics

A good export plan illustrates to outsiders that you have a rational, organized process for operating and building the export side of your business. It is a dynamic document that changes over time – and you need to update it regularly to reflect developments in your export program.

Developing Market Presence - Branch Operations, Export Logistics/Distribution, Personnel Placement
A distribution agreement with a reseller or agent does not guarantee that business will flow as a result. You need to constantly work the relationship and this means regular communications, visits, ongoing technical support and training and a steady stream of marketing initiatives.

Another way to expand your market presence is by setting up a representative office or full branch operations in the United States.

A local representative is an important part of your market expansion strategy. Although you may consider sending one, unless this person is already well connected and conversant with the local language, this strategy may have limited impact. Highly skilled marketing executives from the U.S. can be engaged at a moderate cost. These professionals have strong local networks, industry knowledge and good management experience.

If you are only employing one person a Sales Engineer is best, as this person can normally handle both Marketing and Technical Issues. Whether you work through a local partner or employ a representative locally, training in your product or service is essential. Bringing overseas employees or partners to your country for training is highly recommended, if time and resources permit.
