International Business Development

• Is your company getting a fair share of overseas markets?
• Is your foreign distribution channel generating the revenues you expect?
• Is your foreign subsidiary producing the expected results?
• Is your company hesitant to penetrate export markets?
• Is your company totally comfortable with foreign business cultures?

If the answer to any of these questions is “no” or “maybe” or “not sure” look no further; we can help turn your situations around. Our track record proves that we can guide you towards achieving your market coverage and profitability goals. Here is why:

• We built a distribution network in Europe and the Pacific region from scratch to $45M in sales. This network was more profitable than what the parent company achieved in the US.
• We turned around a subsidiary in France that was not growing for several years by changing the compensation plan to stimulate the sales force.
• We brought a Mexican subsidiary to profitability by restructuring operations and making changes in staff responsibilities.
• We built and expanded a distribution network for a major company in AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) technologies in Asia. We grew sales through this network from $1M to $12M in less than three years.
• We participated in the 5 year planning process of a major AIDC company and made recommendations that resulted in several acquisitions and a new orientation towards the development RFID.
• We developed an RFID business plan for a major AIDC company. This plan was subsequently successfully implemented.
• We guided a company through the process of doing a joint venture with a European business partner.
• We built an AIDC niche market distribution channel in the US that is growing in sales every month.

We will be proud to provide these and similar services to your company.
