Global Growth: Do you know…

...why you want to expand globally?

Purpose

Do you really know why you want to expand beyond your home area? Perhaps it’s purely in pursuit of growth, or profit. Maybe its social or emotional. Regardless, you must know why—your personal insights and biases—before you invest more time or money.

…where conditions exist to support your business?

Preferences

Do you clearly understand what drives your business model in your home area? What conditions, if absent, would kill your business. You must identify other places where those necessary conditions exist…create a short list of high-potential targets to explore in detail!

…what elements support each target?

Premises

Have you researched and discovered the details about those business model underpinnings in your targets? This may include demographics, infrastructure, cultural buying patterns, regulations…details that can make or break your business!

…who can support your expansion?

People

Have you explored your network, both domestic and foreign, for who can support your expansion? Maybe contacts within your industry or social group or college friends. Or even organizations that are focused on your industry or geography.

…how to enhance success in each target?

Process

Do you know the best ways to sell into your target markets? How much cost, risk, commitment, and control are you willing to incur or cede? There is no “one size fits all” here…time spent on identifying the right path will enhance your success.

…when is the best time to enter each target?

Phase

Economics, political, financial, and social cycles vary by geography. Elections, holidays, and stock market performance distracts or heightens market awareness and sensitivity to your offer and ability to staff and deliver. Are you in the know?
