Thought of Developing Your Business Internationally?
For companies wishing to break into international markets, we thought we’d share some of our views on building business overseas.
It’s simple we help develop new business opportunities and strategies for clients in Europe and the USA wishing sell or develop strong relationships in Europe, The Middle East, Asia Pacific and the USA

Calculating the balance of an opportunity versus cost to realise the opportunity is very important before you even begin the process of international prospecting. In most cases it is usually quite different compared with any sales activity in the UK.  The cost of overseas travel, subsistence and other expenses require that a definite brief exists and calculating if there is in fact an opportunity for your product or service and where will you find that opportunity.
Proportionally the cost of hiring an experienced full-time International sales executive will be high.
You will also need to ask and hopefully will have the answers to:-
  • Have you any contacts?
  • Are they good?
  • Will they be the right partner to help grow your business?
  • What will be the return?
  • How long will it take?

Normally if the right partners are found then you can expect a more predictable outcome but how long do you wait?

The Gamble V’s Calculated Risk

To get the business you will need to evaluate other possible barriers and challenges; how expensive is it going to cost, how expensive are your services in that country versus here? You will need to gamble on which direction the exchange rate is travelling or do you work on a fixed rate? All this before you have even sold anything.

This is where partnering with Optical Resources Ltd can really help you; we already know a lot about the market, who the right contacts are for the products or services you wish to sell. If we don’t know then it’s easy for us to find out. Remember our 30 years of experience can save you time, effort and more importantly money!
