Exportech - Techniques for Profitable Exporting

Driving growth is the key to success.
Business growth comes from three sources:
1. Increasing existing sales
2. Bringing new innovative products to the market
3. Exporting

Forward-thinking Wisconsin companies are taking advantage of explosive growth seen in other parts of the world.  Today, 95% of consumers are outside the United States, and small-to-midsize Wisconsin companies are profiting from this global demographic.

Successful companies are tapping into new markets with a customized export expansion strategy.  They've done the analysis and they're targeting the top two or three countries that have the greatest revenue potential and the least risk.

ExporTech-Proven path to export success
Develop a customized, action-oriented export expansion strategy with ExporTech.  Graduates of ExporTech have achieved sales increases averaging $900,000 in 6-9 months after completing the program.

Who should participate:
Success in exporting relies on executive support.  ExporTech requires commitment from at least two top senior executives, i.e. owners, CEOs and other executive leadership.

Cost: $5,000 per company; scholarships are available.

Where & When:
Each ExporTech session consists of three intense events scheduled one month apart.  Coaching and assistance is provided between events.
