Description

What could be more rewarding than seeing your company grow beyond borders...

The US is Britain’s largest trading partner. Working with Americans can be costly if you make irreversible mistakes, as there are many communication and cultural challenges for SMEs and new exporters that can create barriers.

The UK exported £8.2 billion of goods and services to Canada in 2016, making it the UK’s eighth biggest export market outside the EU. The UK is Canada’s seventh largest source of goods imports and second largest services trading partner.

Canada is geographically connected to the USA but there are distinct cultural, communication and language differences.

This Business Culture masterclass, will help you to understand the differences in business conduct in the two bordering markets and will give advice on how to avoid pitfalls.

The training will cover:

  • different business and economic environments

  • business communication and negotiation styles

  • challenges and solutions for doing business

  • understanding and overcoming common pitfalls

  • ease of doing business

  • market entry

  • US e-commerce and how to be successful

  • Canadian e-commerce and how to be successful

  • US and British English language differences

  • Canadian language differences
