70% of our exports go towards our southern neighbors and\u00a0the majority is with companies in the state of New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our American friends would do well to take advantage of our services, given how low the Canadian dollar is these days. Like any outsourcer, they are looking for suppliers<\/a> who can deliver high quality products and services, according to their requirements within the requested timeframe. Our Quebec outsourcing companies have what it takes to sell to this export market, a natural one due to its proximity and due to its culture and industrial commonality.<\/p>\n

Marketing, a weak point<\/h2>\n

Setting aside technical requirements and other general export considerations, one of the great weaknesses of outsourcing companies here is, marketing.<\/p>\n

The regulars will tell you, Americans like to deal face to face and love to see you frequently. New York is only a 1 hour flight from Montreal, and to some, less than a day’s drive.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in a previous blog<\/a>, approaching outsourcers requires a personal touch and a demonstration of credibility. Therefore, be sure your work in the field is backed up with an easily accessible<\/a> and reliable web presence. In short, have a web site that outsourcers find clear and easy to consult, and make sure it does a good job of explaining your particular expertise.<\/p>\n

Note that large and small outsourcers alike check further and further down chain of suppliers, and they do this online.<\/p>\n

Your web site dates back to when?<\/h2>\n

When was the latest version of your website launched, if it\u2019s not still in its original form?<\/p>\n

Your customers, prospects and outsourcers will eventually end up \u2018Googling\u2019<\/a> you (searching online) to find your coordinates and get technical information<\/a>. They are looking for evidence of credibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Demonstrating credibility is not only displaying complete and up to date information but also showing that you invest <\/em>in your business, meaning that you consider your online presence important and you are part of known social<\/a> or sectorial networks.<\/p>\n

Shine!<\/h2>\n

No need to show off your expertise. Use your industry\u2019s vocabulary and simplify<\/a> it for the non-technical people you deal with. Post pictures daily and show off your achievements. Remain who you are; professional and authentic.<\/p>\n

In these times of tablets and web technologies “dictating” the modernization of websites<\/a>, investing in updating one of your best representatives, your web site, is a must.<\/p>\n

So before thinking of exporting or even participating in important events in your area, such as Industrial Subcontractors of Qu\u00e9bec (STIQ)<\/a> or Manufacture Exporters of Quebec<\/a>, invest in upgrading and updating your web site<\/a> with the help of B2B experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
