What is ExportConnect?
ExportConnect is a network organization of independent export executives, created to provide industry-focused support in international business development projects for exporters. If the right export executive is not available the platform is uniquely provided with executive search tools and management candidates to provide for interim- or international business development management.
Why ExportConnect if you already have export-experienced staff?
We never advise entering a new market without in-house expertise. However, the key question is whether your team has the extra focus needed for successful market entry. In most cases, internal staff are already fully engaged with daily operations. That’s where ExportConnect adds value: providing dedicated, external focus to accelerate international growth.
What are the advantages of working with ExportConnect?
Hands-on and industry-specific expertise from consultants with a background as export managers.
A no-nonsense, results-driven approach.
Practical support for new market entry and "warm" introductions to local distributors and customers.
A unique IndustryFocus® approach, ensuring the right industry knowledge is always at the core.
How do we work?
ExportConnect operates project-based with independent exectives or consultants. Each project has a clear start and finish. Objectives and KPIs are defined upfront, ensuring full transparency and alignment for all parties involved.
Who we work for?
We support all export-driven companies, either from Holland , Europe or overseas. Whether you are a scale-up entering international markets for the first time, or an established SME exploring new opportunities. The decisive factor is your commitment to new market development. Only then can we make a difference.
How does our 3-step approach work?
Introductory meeting – a non-binding conversation about your market entry.
Business development assessment scan – questionaires and evaluations of your product proposition and your internal organization, followed by our recommendations and the introduction of the right consultant from our IndustryFocus® network.
Project implementation – getting the job done by our industry export executive, who will execute the plan based on agreed objectives.
