The Millionaire Guide On Improve Export Performance To Help You Get Rich.

National differences in the governmental and business infrastructure available for supporting exporting vary considerably. German and Japanese firms have relatively easy access to information and assistance. While US firms are not left totally to their own devices, the amount of direct and indirect assistance to them is much less developed.

In the USA, there are a number of institutions, most importantly the US Department of Commerce, which can assist firms in the information gathering and matchmaking process.

A good EMC will have a network of contacts in potential markets, will have multilingual employees, will have knowledge of different business mores, and will be fully conversant with the ins and outs of the exporting process and with local business regulations.

One drawback of relying on EMCs is that the company fails to develop its own exporting capabilities. The probability of exporting successfully can be improved by utilizing an EMC or export consultants, focusing on only one or a few markets at first and get them working effectively, starting out on a small scale, having realistic expectations about the time and commitment required, developing good relations with local distributors, and hiring local personnel. The example of 3M helps illustrate one firm’s approach.
