THE QUESTIONS TO ASK TO MAKE EXPORTING EASIER


Choosing the best target market for your business can greatly increase the chance of an increase in both sales and profits, according to export sales consultant John Milner (pictured). The Alium Consultants director says that by asking some fundamental


questions at the outset about your business and its plans to trade internationally, you can save vital time and money. John recommends focusing on the company’s USP, as well as researching


local demand, the potential customer base, any established competition and local compliance or language barriers. He added: “The list goes on, but it is vital to address these questions up


front, before any investment is committed to selling into a new market. “It can save a lot of money in the longer term, help to give a much quicker


return and help the business focus on growing new sales, to new customers, in a new market. What exporting is all about.”
