Global players such as 3M and McDonald's are not the only USA based companies getting a boost in the global marketplace. Plenty of savvy small to medium size companies are setting their sights - and building revenue through well planned export strategies.
While the critics may lament a fall from the "good old days" when the USA market was big enough to sustain the heartland, today's reality is multilingual.
Small USA companies with great products and a vision are seeing export sales grow.
For many a small company, in many a small city or town, sales in the global marketplace are creating a success story that helps support the new American Dream -while supporting traditional values of the local community.
For a small to medium size company, the transition from domestic to international business can be extremely challenging.
As in any venture, the journey begins with the first step.
