Senior sales professional and experienced sales coach Ronan Kilroy has joined the team at Exportise.

In addition to running his own professional coaching consultancy, Ronan has significant B2B sales experience, both in Ireland and overseas, and previously collaborated with Exportise to develop and deliver export sales training for Enterprise Ireland’s “Excel and Export Selling” training programme.

As part of the Exportise team, Ronan’s sales expertise and knowledge will further augment our ability to help our current and future clients succeed in foreign markets. Welcome Ronan!

As an approved consultant for Enterprise Ireland, we regularly work with companies and EI to develop the strategic marketing capability of Irish SMEs that are successfully trading internationally, but are looking to expand their international client base.

We’ve just completed a Strategic Marketing Review process for Dublin, Hong Kong and Boston-based company Red Box Direct, who specialise in setting up sales offices in Europe, Asia and the US at low cost and low risk.

Today the Irish Exporters Association together with ABP Ireland, AIB, DHL Express, Euler Hermes and PwC are launching the National Export Campaign and National Export Hub in collaboration with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Enterprise Ireland http://www.irishexporters.ie/about-iea-hub/.

Exportise are at hand to offer export consultancy advice to the SMEs.

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.

December has been busy for Exportise, and we’re delighted to have three new clients coming on stream for the New Year, in the business outsourcing, plastics moulding and cabling sectors.
We’ll be assisting them to expand their international client base. We’re looking forward to bringing you more news on this in 2015!

Broad welcome from the Irish Exporters’s Association for an export-friendly Budget2015, but more is needed to get the SME sector really going again…
