3 markets in one!
When considering to develop business in Germany, in practice it means to develop THREE markets in one. Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, they so-called DACH markets, are not only german-speaking markets but strongly connected in terms of businesses. Most of the German companies have affiliated companies in Austria and Switzerland.
Selective buyer approach
German buyers are overwhelmed with hundreds of mailings and cooperation proposals every day. In consequence, they won’t even read them. So, if you try to develop business with generic mailings the chances for success are zero. What to do instead: research and select a few, best fitting prospects.
Starting a new project we define together the best strategy for entering the German market. In the next step, we research, evaluate and select carefully the best fitting prospects. By selective buyer approach, we maximize the performance of lead generation and save time and costs.
A “No” is the beginning, not the end
The German market is definitely not a case for quick shots (which markets are?). Nobody is waiting for your company and there are hundreds of competitors fighting to get into the market. The German buyers have stable relationships and for listing a new supplier it takes time and patience. Exports to Germany are not a one-shot logic. A No from a buyer is not the end, but the beginning of the communication! In the first approach, 90% of buyers will say “Thank you, not now”. Though they will evaluate a persistent and consistent follow up and at the end you will get your chance to step in!
