Reach higher and win new customers overseas.

Founded in 1998, our core business provides outsourced export market research, selling, and marketing, for medium sized organisations anywhere. The related services we offer will boost your competitiveness too, and some are even free.

Profitable markets like South America and China, are often left to competitors, uncontested, by our clients, for reasons of language, expense, time, and payment worries. But using us means they can enjoy sales at a distance.

International Sales & Marketing

Outsourcing some export sales to professionals is efficient, saves expense and lowers risk. When professionals sell for you, it releases your best people to attack other tasks. So outsourcing your market research and competitor analysis leaves you free to focus on managing your core business.

'Selling' into export markets means much more to us than just 'sales'. 65% of Managing Directors think so too. That's why they perform this role themselves in medium sized companies. Many organisations can only develop one market at one time. The life-blood of the organisation is at stake through want of resource. 'Export sales' to us means understanding competitors, travelling, researching, entertaining, persuading, appointing and firing distributors, negotiating, dealing, and relationship building- and all in different cultures. This is what we do.

As you can see, export marketing tools and sales techniques interest us professionally too. Ask about our 1000 or so articles published 1998-2014 - some may cover your area of interest or market.

We train companies in these skills too. Researching these tools continuously, we write about them each month in the UK International Trade press.

Skill and experience is employed to achieve these figures but our research shows British companies profit more when additional resources are sourced externally.

This is the support we provide.

Britain sold over £40 billion to the USA in 2013. And £10 billion to China, with £700 million to Qatar, the UK's fiftieth biggest market. Research shows companies profit more when external resources are deployed to penetrate these markets. That's why our team has visited 89 of these, and grown business in most.
