Chapter # 2 : Why International Business
At this time many of us are working and studying from home. This is a good time to plan for the future and learn how to expand into new markets.
When the “social distancing” starts to ease up, we need to expand our markets and try to recoup what we lost after markets were shut down.
Everybody is in some way locked up although some markets like China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore are slowly opening up.
Hopefully, Europe and North America will open up during the summer.
Many are in the same situation as you, working from home. The same applies to your clients and future clients. How to use that situation? It is a good time to improve your skills and activate contacts with your foreign markets.
Increase your skills. Here is one way. 12 short webinars with practical information and ideas, 8 to 12 minutes each, with topics like Why international Business, Practicalities – culture in International Business, Market Analysis, Selecting the right export distribution, Export Pricing, Adapting products, services and sales material, Shipping, Risk and Payments, Legalities and International business in the future.
Do not wait for all the restrictions to open up. Use your time when forced to work from home to increase your skill and plan for the next step in your international activities.
Good Luck
