Guide to International Trade Consultants
International trade consulting can push your business into the global market
International trade consultants can help develop your answers to a growing global market. If your service or product meets marketplace demand in your home country, chances are you can modify your business plan and sell around the world.
Launching your business into a market leader in one country can be colossal. Addressing worldwide expansion can drain your resources if you try to go it alone. Work with international trade consultants with expertise and experience to ease the transition.
Geography doesn't bind opportunity. More and more businesses may find themselves going worldwide in order to succeed or even survive. The transition into a worldwide market contains differences in languages, culture, law and business practices. A foreign trade consultant with expertise in all of those areas can help you take your business to the next level. When choosing an international business consultant, it's important to ask the following:
1. Is hiring an international trade consulting service a cost-effective way to emerge into a worldwide network?
2. How will you determine if the international business consulting firms you consider are successful, experienced and connected globally?
3. How will trade consultants be able to respond to your individual needs?

3. How will trade consultants be able to respond to your individual needs?
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Find out about specific services of an international trade consulting firm
Creating international networks and managing the growth of your business remains the key to international success. International trade consultancy services provide numerous options that can be customized to uniquely fit into your plan.
I recommend:
Find trade consultants that can improve what you have and ready it for a global presence. Ask what the consultancy firm can do specifically for you and your business. Pacific Northwest Advisors makes it simple with a bulleted, specific list. Or check out a categorized list from InterServe.
Check the international trade consultancy firm's client list
Don't know what the firm can do for you? The only way to find out is to see what they've done for others. Check out a list of their past clients or ask for a list of client references.
I recommend:
Most international trading consultants will have a list of clients on their website, such as the one found at Stratos Services or an industry-specific list from Capital Trade Inc. If you can't find this type of information at a potential consulting firm's website, be sure to ask.
Request international trade consulting services, including research
The potential international trade consulting firm should be able to provide customized market research specific to your industry.
I recommend:
See what kind of information will be included in the research and how it will be focused on your company and your specific product line. HCI International Marketing Consultants details all of the information and analysis you will receive. Find out what kind of research is available on individual markets to decide which market might be best for your expansion. Proactive International research focuses on key international markets including the Americas, Europe, Japan and other sectors.
Participate in international trade consultancy seminars
Arm yourself with knowledge so you can be engaged in the process of bringing your business into the global realm. International trade consulting services will offer the training you need.
I recommend:
Take the Global Procurement Group's quiz to test your knowledge. MK Technology offers a variety of training options from in-house training and international conferences to instructional videos.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Think outside the box before hiring international trade consultants. You shouldn't restrict your marketing to countries that already buy products similar to yours. By selecting a country that is close to saturation, you open yourself up to fierce competition. Instead, consider selecting export markets that need your product.
