18/03/10 The Weightless Economy: How service industries can trade internationally

Cost: £30.00

In this period of increasing global economic uncertainty, it is more important than ever that businesses, whatever their country of origin, raise their game to stay ahead of the competition, increase their bottom line and guarantee their future.

Growing your business internationally could well provide the answer that you are looking for. UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) can help you every step of the way. It is a springboard for global growth.

Simon Crosby, Lead International Trade Adviser , UK Trade & Investment will demonstrate the pitfalls and opportunities for businesses looking to expand overseas and how adopting a sustainable approach to your business can generate new customers.

He will outline the common barriers to market entry and the support available to overcome obstacles, sharing best practice for companies exporting in the service sector.

We will also be joined by Graham Franklin, a business consultant, who will discuss the affect that cultural differences have on relationship building and sales when trading internationally. All too often when businesses approach the international market there is a focus on product, price, client/customer need and financial risk assessment but this presentation seeks to highlight the hidden aspects of effective international sales.
