Why communication is so important when selling to a global market
Today it is easier than ever to start and run a global business.
Our advances technology has made the world shrink into one
manageable market.
You can sell your product to customers in Bangkok as easily as to
costumers in Florida. All you need is a good product and the
willingness to work hard for your idea.
Running a global business successfully means you have to be
crystal clear in your communication. Communication is defined as
sharing information with others. You have to inform the public
about your business and your product. And you have to do this in
such a way that people will end up buying your product.
So whether or not your business is going to succeed depends on
how good you are communicating. You have to make sure your
potential customers understand what you are talking about and
what your business is all about.
If you want to succeed in selling your product in a foreign
country you have to be aware of the cultural, politic, linguistic
and social situations in your targeted country. You have to make
sure your information is presented in a correct and suitable way
for the foreign market.
To be able to share your information with your potential customers
and prospects you have to speak their language. The best way of
doing this is to actually inform them in their own language ? using
anecdotes and terminology they are
accustomed to. This gives them a
feeling of security and familiarity, and they are more likely to
trust you and buy from you instead of your competitor.
Did you for instance know that in Japan the colour white represents
mourning? So if you are selling party gifts to Japan make sure you
don?t wrap them in white paper! The examples of businesses not
succeeding because of such cultural misunderstandings are many.
Make sure you don?t make this mistake!
This means you might have to adapt your communication strategy.
The sales letter that works at home might not bring any sales in a
foreign market. Have a look at your web page, your brochures, your
information leaflets etc. Is this information presented in a
suitable way for the foreign market?
If you fail in bringing your message across - your business will also
fail. If you can?t excite the people about your product ? if you
can?t get them to trust you ? you will not be making any sales.
So make sure your business will be a success and get your
information ready for the foreign market!
