Join us for this informative workshop and learn what it takes to become a successful exporter. Ask questions of experts that can help you grow your business through export.

Even as the U.S. manufacturing sector shows some signs of life, the recovery has been slow, and companies are looking for ways to grow their businesses and have begun to explore how to sell their products into foreign markets. But there is a lot you need to know before you can become a successful exporter:

  • Which foreign markets should I target?
  • How do I find a reputable distributor?
  • How do I assure that I will get paid?
  • How do I tackle documentation and compliance issues?

This workshop will give you the opportunity to get answers to these questions and more, and you will meet the people who are here locally to help you tackle these issues and become a successful exporter.
