- Access Export Readiness: If your product or service sells well domestically, there’s a good chance an overseas market can be found for it. In some markets, you may have to make some modifications because of cultural and regulatory differences. Key questions: What does a company want to gain from exporting? Are the expected benefits worth the costs? So a cost-benefit analysis is an important exercise.Identify Key Markets This entails some risk management on business expansion. But exporting to some markets, such as Canada, is no more risky than selling in the U.S. Different international markets have different risks. While conditional on a company’s service or product – a market like China poses more of a challenge and risk that does a market such as the United Kingdom. It’s important to first target the best and most promising market opportunities that come with minimal risks.Determine Sales Potential: How will a company grow its bottom line through exporting and international trade? How will you optimize your production capabilities through trade? How will your product or service’s export sales price be determined?Implement an Export Plan: Once you’ve decided to sell your products abroad, you’ll need to develop an export plan. An important step in planning is to develop broad consensus among key management personnel on the company’s goals, objectives, capabilities, and constraints. A clear marketing strategy is crucial for success. Of course, building an international business takes time & commitment. A well documented export plan gives management a clear understanding of what will be required of them and will help ensure a solid commitment to exporting.
