Ensuring Market Entry Success
Developing a track record of customer and revenue success can be challenging in a complex market like the US.  Regardless of where a company does business in the world, each region has a local ecosystem of business leaders, contacts, key influencers and leading companies.  More often than not, business transactions occur because of and through this network of contacts.  We understand the cultural, language and business style differences and help to quickly overcome them.

The French Business & Innovation Accelerator program is supported by a network of senior legal, marketing, sales and business development consultants, many from countries around the world that have had successful careers building and growing companies in the US market.  This team understands how to help an international entrepreneur expand their company into the US with a minimum of difficulty and a maximum degree of success.  They also possess an extensive network of contacts to facilitate the creation of key relationships, a sales pipeline and much more.  We supplement the expertise of our senior consulting team with a series of educational and training sessions, webinars, and much more to increase the entrepreneur’s chance of developing immediate traction in the US market.  We also encourage active and frequent participation in events, associations, conferences and networking events.  Click here to learn about the team. 

When the entrepreneur arrives in the US, our first step is to ensure the company is established legally. Our consulting team analyses the company’s strengths and weaknesses to determine the offering, market direction and go-to-market strategy.  Many times the company’s marketing message and value proposition must be tailored and adapted to the US buyer.  We assist with that—including the necessary sales tools to communicate effectively with prospective customers such as the company website, brochures, presentations and more. 

Following that, meetings with prospective customers that match the company’s target customer profile, are critically important.  Our consultant can attend those meetings with the entrepreneur so he or she gains first hand experience in managing a sales call, presentation and business negotiations with a US customer.  As the customer discussions progress in a positive direction, we will help the entrepreneur progress through the discussions and negotiation process to successfully close the deal.
