Critical
success factors for technology companies competing in Global markets: What’s hot
and what’s not;
Entering
complex markets such as Japan, getting the most from your investment in sales
and market development activity in Europe and North America, dealing with IP
issues in China, are just a few of the nuts and bolts issues we’ll be discussing
on Tuesday.
This
session will be an appetizer for the 2 day Global Sales Accelerator Workshop in

is not academic waffle, but real world advice from a guy who has built numerous
global sales channels first hand. I
cannot endorse this program highly enough.’ John Cochrane – Commtest

responsible for airfares and accommodation with $4000 of costs reimbursed by
NZ’s Foundation for Research Science and
