Our fluent Spanish speaking business team make around thirty-two Latin American market visits annually but they are in contact daily with distributors and local networks. They know Latin America well and all have lived or live there now. Our team in 2014 working out of Bogota Colombia is headed by Ashley whose Biochemistry degree is from London University.
Product sectors we handle for UK clients include high tech, security, spare parts, port equipment, giftware, medical equipment, specialist coatings, lubricants, optical raw materials, and telecoms.
We provide full-service, in-market, sales and support services for Western companies who want to enter or enhance their presence in Latin America without the overhead and risk of deploying permanent salaried staff.
Our clients grow this Latin market more efficiently and at lower cost - while requiring less of their management time.
UK companies who wish to sell in these markets often:
- Lack management time to commit to Latin market development
- Need more contacts and business resources in the continent
- Have difficulty communicating in Spanish
- Are inexperienced selling in the Latin business environment
- Do not follow up opportunities effectively
