Prepare Strategic Plans and Turnkey International Operations
The Department of Commerce lists the three most common mistakes made by American Companies going international: (1) failure to obtain qualified counseling to assist in developing a master international marketing plan before starting an export or international business; (2) insufficient commitment by top management to overcome the initial difficulties and financial requirements of exporting; and, (3) insufficient care in selecting overseas third-party distribution methodologies. These mistakes are not unique to American companies; they can be found in businesses world wide.
