How to Succeed in Going Global [Infographic]

How to Succeed in Going Global [Infographic] When a  business has plateaued their growth in a local or national scale, the next logical consideration is taking the company to a global market. This often requires a big leap of faith. And if youre not careful, it could result in significant losses and bruised reputations.  It isnt unheard of with large corporations going multinational and falling flat on their face losing billions in the process.  And sometimes damaging their brand on the home front. If you’re going to take your business to a global level, you need to do your homework first.  And calculate how likely it is that your company will succeed on the global stage. Not understanding the differences between doing business domestically versus overseas is the number one reason businesses flop in their attempts to go global. Cultural differences, and the resulting consumer behavior in other countries is likely to differ greatly from what you experience and deeply understand in your home market. So you’ll need to forensically study any market into which you’re hoping to expand. Before you jump in blindly and start tackling your global launch remain cautious and get laser-focused. Concentrate diligently on a small pool of foreign markets at first, instead of casting a wide net and trying to to far too fast. It will also take much patience; a return on your investment wont sprout overnight. To be effective in any major expansion effort you need to be in it for the long-haul.  Anything less that that and youll get clobbered by the competition.
