This second webinar in our five-part series discusses the single most critical decision a company needs to make in its export journey: where to export. Learn why many companies make the mistake of letting markets choose them, rather than being in control of their market selection. We will present an analytical tool to take the guesswork out of export market decisions. Then we will review the latest tools that are available to provide immediate feedback on potential markets – all at no cost. By the end of the session you will know how to find your best potential foreign markets for your export success.
The global pandemic has dramatically increased the focus on the importance of exporting. Companies have realized that to be resilient and competitive, they need to be engaged globally. This no cost series of five one-hour webinars will discuss the most important decisions small to medium sized businesses need to make for a successful export strategy. The series begins with an analysis of the conditions needed for a company to be ready to export. The next two sessions look at where to export, how to enter, and how to find great partners. Session four discusses critical resources for export success, including grant funds to support related international marketing expenses. The series ends with a discussion of putting all the concepts together to create an export plan.
This series is sponsored by the Illinois SBDC International Trade Center at Bradley University at no cost to participants.
