Global Reach Forum

Charting a Pathway to International Success

Welcome!

Cynthia Dearin here.

I’m excited that you’re joining us for our May event, The Global Reach Forum – it’s going to be a fantastic day and I can’t wait to see you there.

While I have you, here’s a little of what you can expect from the day.

The Global Reach Forum is one of our main events of the year. If you come along as a guest, we’ll treat you just like everyone else and that means we’ll expect you to play just like a client – to give 100%!

I want you to participate in all the activities, get actively involved, and contribute – no passengers allowed!

At the end of the day, we’ll both have a good feel for whether we’re a good fit for each other and whether we should be working together to launch or grow your international business. If you’d like to learn more about the International Business Accelerator program or Dearin & Associates’ other services, it’s best to schedule a call with one of our GoGlobal Specialists either now or right after the event. (Here’s the link to schedule a call.)

Most of all, though, I want you to enjoy the day we’ll spend together. It will be an opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs and business owners who are expanding their businesses internationally, and I’d love you to be part of it.

Here's what's happening at the event

Our May event, The Global Reach Forum is all about how to chart a path to success in international markets – how to create your personalised Blueprint for International Success, how to find the right international distributor, how to identify the systems that you’ll need in place to scale your business overseas and how to curate the customer journey you’ll need to take your overseas clients on if you’re going to be internationally successful.

Everytime we run one of these intensives, we make sure there is a focus on each of the three pillars of our methodology – strategy, momentum and money – as well as a focus on connection and community with like-minded people.

Here’s how we’ll do that this time:

For the Strategy piece, I’ll share the Blueprint for International Success – our proven methodology for going global and we’ll work on your plan to generate $1 million (or your next million) in international markets. And Mike Todd, our Senior Advisor, Consumer Products will speak about the art (and science) of finding the right international distributor.

When it comes to Momentum, we’ll be hearing from the dynamic trio of Marcus Robb, Andrew Sharpe and Phil Walsh (D&A’s Senior Advisors on Global Growth Marketing, Technology and Customer Success) as they help you understand how to optimise the customer journey for international clients.

And on Money, Elina McKerrell and Nick Fox, Partners at BDO will be talking about the systems you need in place to manage growth..

You’ll walk away with:

A roadmap for $1 million in international sales
Deep insights into how to identify and secure the right international distributor for your business.
The low-down on how to curate your customer journey for international success.
Tips and tricks for installing systems in your business to manage growth.

Plus, you’ll get an inside look at how we help our clients target their biggest international challenges, and breakthrough to the next level in their business.

We’ll also have some breakout sessions where you can debrief and problem solve with other business owners.

In short, you’ll get a taste of the strategies and tactics that we usually only share with clients.
