Inward Foreign Buying Mission

Foreign buyers often engage in visiting markets to meet with potential suppliers of products and services. This is the perfect opportunity for exporters to sit with the buyers to negotiate sales as well as better understand the buyers' market through posing questions on: 

• market size and segmentation,
• regulations and legislation,
• customer needs, usage
• and attitudes,
• distribution channels,
• trends and competitor activity, and
• strategy and performance.

It is a highly cost effective way of gaining invaluable market intelligence for your product while presenting your sales pitch.
