Prof. Ken Explains the US Market for Small Business at Brazil Forum

 

 

Entering the U.S. market is full with promise and opportunity. The U.S.  market is one of the easiest markets to begin to sell your products or service in yet one of the hardest to build a successful business. Your goal of internationalization should not be just to enter a market but to build a business in that market. When you are ready to enter the U.S. market, your thoughts and strategy must be aligned to that goal.

 

Estimates have product failures at between 75% to 90%, while nearly 80% of all grocery, drug and mass-market items fail within one year of introduction within the U.S. These ugly stats hold true with U.S. based products and products coming in from other countries into the U.S. market. Many products fail due to lack of planning from the manufacturer and limited buy-in from the market. This seminar identifies the three most common mistakes a company makes when trying to enter the U.S. market.
