Overview

WHY DO WE NEED EXPORTBOOTCAMPS? It has been clear from the balance of payments figures published each year that this country needs to export more, the problem is how can businesses be encouraged to export? Obvious solutions such as tax breaks, incentives or subsidies have been ruled out for years, although it would be worth expanding on some ideas as to how these could sit within our taxation system at another time. The point of ExportBootCamps.com is that they work to empower businesses to find their own markets and take ownership of an internationalisation programme of activity. WHO'S BEHIND EXPORTBOOTCAMPS.COM? Lesley Batchelor has spent the last 12 years actively encouraging businesspeople to engage with International Trade as a Profession, however, it is clear that in this age of immediacy, ‘quick’ is king. It is also clear that the need for full learning is still needed but sometimes this comes from a place of little knowledge which may not be available without attending an ExportBootCamp programme of activity. HOW DO YOU START ON THIS JOURNEY? In an intensive two-day workshop 'C' Suite, business owners or managers can immerse themselves in the planning process, allowing time to find out exactly which international market would suit the business they operate. Using some basic modelling tools, the business will look at the preparedness of their team and their product. They will then determine which market, or markets, would suit them best and leave the programme with a workable strategy. This process is supported by a workshop and workbook that will enable clear thinking in a readily accessible checklist/facilitation format. Join us and spend some valuable time thinking.
