Importance of International Trade Shows for Export Opportunities

2016 has been busy so far for Exportise, in particular for our senior project manager Sebastian Perry. Sebastian has spent a lot of time on the road, attending international trade shows and business meetings with and for our clients in Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Scandinavia.

Exportise has also represented clients at some major trade events this year:

Natural and Organic Products Europe – London, UK, with our client Propak Health
Pittcon – Atlanta, USA, with our client Redbox Direct
Vitafoods Europe – Geneva, Switzerland, with our client Propak Health
Analytica – Munich, Germany, with our client Redbox Direct

Our clients have benefited immensely from these events, securing new business contracts as well as nurturing existing ones.

We at Exportise cannot stress strongly enough the advantages of engaging face-to-face with prospective clients: we believe international trade shows are an important element in any export sales plan. We’ve even written a guide on how to do it well: have a read here to help you get the most from your upcoming tradeshows: Mastering Tradeshows to Maximise Export Opportunities. Bon voyage!

Sales Pipeline Management workshop 2016 completed

Exportise has just completed its first Sales Pipeline Management workshop of the year, which is part of the Enterprise Ireland Excel at Export Selling programme. This highly practical one-day workshop assists companies to implement a structured and systematic sales pipeline management system in order to increase their conversion of sales leads and grow their export sales more quickly.

The companies that attended ranged from small start-ups with limited export sales to large multi-million turnover companies with vast export experience. Attenders were from a range of sectors, including technology, chemical, food, environmental and design sectors, and through this workshop, they have gained vital tools, templates, best practices – and hopefully the enthusiasm required! – to take their export sales to the next level.

Busy Summer Season

It’s been a busy couple of months for Exportise. We’ve secured two multi-million € contracts in mainland Europe on behalf of one of our long-standing clients. We’ve set up excellent meetings for our key clients, many at industry trade shows in Europe, with companies from China, India, Canada, USA, Sweden, UK and Australia with some of them progressing into new export business opportunities.

“Attending the trade shows with Exportise has been a great success as we have many opportunities in our export markets with one having converted into a client. Using industry trade shows for setting up meetings is a process we will bring forward in our business.”
Jim Kernan, PROPAK HEALTH

We have also just completed a project in Sales Process & Sales Management consultancy with the Cork based company Post Formed Systems, who specialise in the design and manufacture of bespoke cubicle washroom environment. The company now has a simple yet powerful system to manage business opportunities which, in time, will improve their hit rate and reduce the number of lost opportunities when selling into export markets in the UK and Europe.

Upcoming projects for the second half of the year include UK market development for an Irish health and personal hygiene company, as well as continuing our work with longstanding clients in the electronic, life sciences, and construction sectors.

Is relying on English good enough?

Multilingual communication as a tool for export growth… By Giovanni Giusti via Irish Exporters Association.

‘If exports are an important part of your growth plan, you need to be able to communicate with your customers in their language.

One of the differences between successful and less-than-successful export companies is the level of thought and consideration given to language and communication. Of course, English is widely-spoken around the world, and it is often referred to as the language of international commerce, but is relying on English really good enough?’

Export start guide

We at Exportise are very impressed with the recently launched Export Start Guide, a joint initiative developed by Invest Northern Ireland, Chartered Accountants Ireland and Enterprise Ireland, which guides businesses on the road to exporting – Export Start Guide.

It highlights the benefits of exporting and includes practical advice on selling internationally, along with real-world case studies taken from the experiences of companies that are already successful in overseas markets.

The approach advocated is totally in line with how we at Exportise work with our clients, particularly on the Export Planning side and the implementation of such plans. We hope it encourages many to consider exporting – and maybe also give us a call to assist them.
