Here are 10 top tips for Britishexporters…

1Engineer your product or

service for global appealfrom day one, rather thanhaving to tweak it later.

2Approach your bank and financial advisers so they can provide the best possible support.

3Don’t be afraid to ask for help and take advantage of organisations that specialise in supporting overseas trade such as UKTI.

4Ensure that your price point is achievable in the market that you are trying to break into.

5Make sure you take into account cultural differences. Look into different business etiquettes around the world and be sure to respect these while travelling since failure to acknowledge these may lead to damaging or costly mistakes.

6Patience is key. Take your

time setting up overseas.

It may not be a fast-paced

process but you need to

be patient with it.

7Know the ins and outs of

your brand and

understand what makes

your brand different from

others that are trying to

break into the overseas

market.

8Be open to learning. Listen

to the people that are

around you and be open to

their advice. Although you

may think you have covered

every aspect, someone could

bring something to the table

that hadn’t crossed your

mind.

9Focus on one market at a

time. Although it is

tempting to pursue

multiple markets, be sure

to understand the first

fully before heading on to

others.

10Be sure to do your

research on your market,

competitors and all things

that could possibly affect

the success of your export,

and make sure you have a

solid business plan before

heading overseas.
