Find a list of companies that are from your homeland that have offices in that country, then check and see what opportunities that they have available. this can all be done on the web with a few days work and persitance becuase a lot of the company web sites are pretty vague so you have to dig into the site to find info.

Make a trip to these countries and get to know some buyers in person (of course after taking appointment) which will easily impress the buyer. No one otherthan the stakeholder can do a good job. Believe me its my experience.

I suggest you find a local (Montreal) agent that deals with international clients.  Call around and find one that works with "business" people that live and work in different cities.  It is very common in most large cities for people to do this.  I wouldn't use an agent from New England unless they live part-time in Montreal.

You could approach trade associations and fedrations for information and contact numbers of importers.Then call them up and sell them your product over the phone.

You don't have to get in touch with anyone.  Go to the nearest Schengen country's embassy and apply for a visa.

I would say: Get on the internet and find UK sources of the type of business you want to deal with. Email them directly with your resume. I would make sure you have long distance to call them. I would also make sure you know the cost for a minute of conversation to the UK....IT is very very expensive. I know for I have been there several times. Make sure you write everything down, internet websites that you have gone too and make sure that you have your "selling hat" on. A positive attitude is the key. GOOD LUCK!

Essentials for fostering a good relationship with overseas business partners:\n\nFirst, learn the language, or have someone on staff who does know it.  (I have a friend, human resources manager of the southern hemisphere for largest elevator company in the world, who learned Japanese, Chinese, German, French and Spanish-enough of each to conduct business professionally and communicate effectively-he is based in Sydney, Australia.)\n\nSecond, learn the culture of the country you're doing business with. (Find out about traditions, the people and land itself, and the history, especially where tradition is concerned.)\n\nThird, respect the people and the country, because when you have respect for them, they give that back to you. (This follows on ALL fronts, business, culture, tradition and the people themselves.)\n\nFourth, be eager to learn...people in other countries live their lives differently from us, and do business a bit differently too, so observe, and utilize everything you learn.  (One can never learn enough, especially from those so different from us in many ways, and so much like us in others!)  \n\nFifth, and this is a given, and I'm sure you do this anyway....ENJOY the partnership itself...exchanging news, tricks of the trade, tips to bettering your business...and just interacting with those you are partnered with.\n\nAnd last but not least....GREAT communication with everyone concerned!\n\nAnd good luck! :)

There will be a lot of paperwork needed, so I suggest the first thing to do is to hire an agent to help you set up a business in the US. From business registrations to licensing to getting permits to work in the US, it is best to have someone who knows how to do it. There are some business lawyers who specializes in helping foreign companies set up shop in the US.\n\nIf you will also have personnel from India coming in to the US to run the business, I suggest getting an immigration lawyer to help you with getting the proper investors visa or work permits.

You should first find a competitive productive activity (manufacturing or natural resources) in your location and then try to establish a relationship with the providers, this activity may be, for example, artcrafts.  then you have to visit craftman in your location and show interest in buying their products.\n\nInternational clients are highly demanding, so you must carefully consider build a poll of providers that guarrantee you: quality, quantities and reliability.\n\nOnce you have selected the provider then you have the first half (but the most difficult is to come)  now you have to build trust in potential buyers abroad of the product you selected to export.\n\nIn my experience I founded very useful the help of my country embassy in other countries, as well as this I highly recommend you to build an online (and printed) catalog. You should be extra careful with details in those marketing materials, NO typos, no false statements, try to be as accurate as possible and, of course, try to have those materials in at least two languages. Also be ready with quotation templates and check the payment method best suits you. again trust is important in this regard.\n\nIn this stage you may find in statistics about export of your country (given in any Economy Ministery website) about top foreign countries that most likely buy the kind of products you choose to sell from your location, keep it simple but be persistent as it takes a lot of work to get the first order, however, once you start, yopu will be in one of the most lucratives activities of the world and prosper you, as well as your family.\n\nAs you don´t give further details in your question I assume that you are starting from scratch, so, don´t worry, try to strenght relations with your friends and family, and the friends of your friends and the family of your family, try to find in your personal network those fellows that may help you connect the chain (find the best provider or find the first client) in any case prepare your selling speech for each case and be ready to show leadership and motivation, remember that doing business is a human activity and in involves inter-personal relationship skills.\n\nAlso, remember to keep it simple, export follows the same principle of local selling, you buy as cheap as possible and sell as expensive as possible (your profit will be the difference)\n\nbuy cheap and sell expensive (but be fair in both sides)\n\nDon´t kill the gold eggs chicken by trying to get all the eggs at once, keep you baance and try to not be so greedy.\n\nBeware of international scams!.  In my website www.somosnegocios.com  I have many recommendations for doing business internationally, check in the FAQ section, If you have further questions feel free to ask me.\n\nBest regards\n\nAlejandro

Several ways, but here's a couple:\n\n1.  Call and speak to the business owner to set up an appointment to introduce your service/products.  Suggest ways that you can be of service to them.  Send follow up letter thanking them for their time and confirming your appointment.\n\n2.  Send information and then follow up with a phone call asking if they received your information and that you would like to set up an appointment.  Send a letter thanking them for talking with you and confirming the appointment.  \n\nIf they are not interested still send a letter thanking them for their time and periodically, send them a "touching base" letter or post card.\n\nYou never know.  At some point they may decide to use your service/ products.\n\nBest of Luck to YOU!

Just give you some thinking direction instead of direct answer which I thought might be inspiring too!\n(1)If you are from Danish, you might know some major governmental service opening information channel, then \nyou may access to that throught Internet and search for international trade related links, and I think your government might have some well informed sources which is better than heading aimlessly.\n(2)Not sure whether U.S.consulate and commercial cancellar do function as window for business referral and business enquiry for oversea agency & distribution.\n\nJust try, you will benefit from exploring.
