Zach is a renowned specialist in international sales growth. For 33 years, he has sold and led sales teams in about 135 countries on all 7 continents, including Antarctica. His career includes helping companies enter the Middle East, he has sold used American military devices in Eastern Europe and Central Africa, sold medical imaging technology in Emerging Markets and Asia. He was also a Sales Director for Comverse, a Nasdaq 100 company where he took on the South Asia market that was considered a hopeless region for growth. Within 4 years he increased annual sales from $500k to over $30M, that is a 1,475% YoY increase.
In this episode, Zach and I discuss how to sell across different countries and cultures, what common mistakes business leaders make when expanding to new countries and how to leverage partnerships for incredible growth.
