How to Develop a Better Export Strategy

Written by David Noah | January 27, 2016

Strategy.

It’s more than just a buzzword—or at least, it should be. Almost every exporter wants to create some sort of strategy, but not all of them want to take the time to consider what their strategy should be.

Unfortunately for them, a strategy that’s built on guesses or faulty information is doomed for failure.

In order to build a successful and lasting strategy, exporters need to make sure they’re doing the work upfront. This includes building intelligence, gathering facts to understand the actions that really need to be done, understanding how these actions should be done, and knowing who should do them.

Whether you’re just getting started or a seasoned exporter, it’s important to consider (or reconsider) your exporting strategy. Is it clear enough that you can explain it? How might it be improved? Are you missing any important component that is limiting your success? Each of these questions are imperative to the health of your export business.
