Think about research
as just making a lot
of phone calls,
looking up and
collecting important
information, and
reading market
reports, government
statistics, and trade
magazines.
36. ImportExportCoach.com
• You must write a
business plan (if it is a
start-up) or an
international marketing
plan (if you are expanding
into new markets with
your existing business) in
order to attract investors,
bankers, or small
business government
funding programs.
37. ImportExportCoach.com
• You may find this a
shocking statement, but
guess what: no one else
can do it for you.
• The international
marketing plan is where
you express your vision
and idea for the business,
and compile all of your
research.
38. ImportExportCoach.com
• A plan template gives
you a structure and an
outline that can guide
you in your research.
• Your plan serves as a
road map, and will
keep you on track
along your journey.

Whether by fax or email, I
suggest you include the
following:
• Company contact information.
• Product Description - Be as specific as
possible, for example do not generalize by
saying giftware, instead say: decorative,
hand painted, carved wood Christmas
ornaments.
• Request a list of potential buyers.
• Request recommendations for market
entry strategies. This will make a big
difference in how you approach the
foreign market. For example, will you use
a major distributor, individual agent, or
trading house, what tradeshows and
promotional events should you attend,
etc.

Similarly, for importing products
and services from other
countries, contact foreign
consulates and embassies
located in YOUR city. Just like
our country has trade offices
around the world, foreign
countries have placed their
embassies and consulates here
to study our markets.
57. ImportExportCoach.com
• The foreign Trade
Commissioners in these
offices are placed here, in your
market, to help manufacturers
from their own country.
• They offer Export Directories
of their homeland's products
and suppliers. In some cases,
they may offer lists of buyers
for certain industries.
• Again, proper communication
is essential for gaining their
assistance.

1. Learn: Having knowledgeable input
will dramatically increase your
chances of success.
2. Research: The more you research, the
more you will reduce your risk.
3. Plan to Succeed! We have easy to use
templates to help you get started.
4. Make the right contacts: Contact the
right resources for the type of
business you want to have. Use
proper business etiquette and
professional networking skills.
Remember these points…
59. ImportExportCoach.com
• Surround yourself with
experts to provide you with
the needed information to
make important decisions.
• Unless you are on your way
to getting a degree or
extensive education in the
field, then the best thing to do
is to hire an international
trade consultant or coach
who does have the education
and experience to assist you.
In addition…

My experience holding
public import export
workshops, and working
with thousands of
entrepreneurs around
the world, has lead me

many people starting

expensive fees of a
consultant.
