Companies can benefit from enormous opportunities -- and
face enormous challenges -- in expanding their business internationally.
In a recent survey of business executives, 95% indicated that
their company exports goods and services internationally. However, more
than half of those same executives said that cultural differences, inexperience
in international business or trade restrictions are impediments to overseas
sales.
Brustuen International, an international consulting and trade
management firm founded in 1986, works with companies interested in
international business as part of their strategic growth plans. Specifically,
Brustuen International helps client companies across the globe:
- Reduce time-to-market
- Directly access top decision makers in international markets
- Reduce risk in foreign markets
- Benefit from established relationships and existing networks
The company's leaders have years of extensive experience working
closely with business and governmental leaders throughout the world.
The company has leveraged these high-level connections to establish
strategic alliances with highly-regarded professional affiliates located
in targeted foreign countries. Each international partner or affiliate
is considered an expert in a certain technology, market, political,
cultural or product area.
Staffed by an international account team, Brustuen International's
focus is on successfully putting buyers and sellers together. Our work
on behalf of clients has ranged from working to prepare and train companies
that are new to exporting, to positioning and launching new products
in a given international market.
Brustuen International's standard services to clients go far
beyond just introducing buyer and seller and helping close the deal.
It is the company's normal practice to act as a hands-on partner with
its clients. This includes assisting as needed in all aspects of managing
to ensure the successful outcome of the client's international marketing
objectives.
A corporation's international expansion activities are usually
part of its highly proprietary strategic business and marketing plans.
Because of this, Brustuen International consistently makes it a practice
to totally protect our clients' identity. We offer that same professional
confidentiality to all of our prospective, current and past clients.
