Description:
In today's global marketplace, individuals and companies are increasingly looking to sell to foreign customers which often requires that they expand their sales and business operations to international locations. Many times international selling starts with the basic demands of the current customer who is expanding outside of the U.S. and asking its suppliers to follow. In other instances, companies are looking to sell internationally in order to compensate for slumping domestic sales or otherwise to grow revenues.
