Is Business abroad about language or communication?

2/15/2017

We very often hear that we need to learn a new language to take the step to a new market in a new country. To be fluent in several languages is of course a great advantage in making business with other countries. The more secure you feel in both understanding and make your self understood - the better situation do you have in a meeting or a negotiation situation. 

You will also feel more comfortable in other situations like when you travel, book a room, orders at a restaurant etc... 

Our recommendation is that you consider a new language for your business relations as a tool to use to achieve the goals you have set up for the New Market. To be able to communicate, to listen and to deliver a message that is correctly understood is the Key.

Do you have the time to get a new customer?

4/11/2016

 

Getting new customers is always a top priority activity in our Businesses To-Do-lists. It is the customer who pays your bills and brings you food on the table. How many hours a week do you really spend to get new customers?
In a solo enterprise there you are the one and only resource - you still have to be active in finding new customers and to make them buy your products and services. Are you able to adopt to your potential customers needs and behaviors? Or are you in "Marketing & Sales" mode just when it suites you and your calendar?

Specially if you have a business there you sell your "hours" to your customers, after an intense period of delivering to them you find your self with an empty order book. Because you didn´t have time to find new customers when you were busy.
