Introduction

Why the US market is both the biggest opportunity and the most common point of failure for international manufacturers.

06:00
Mistake #1: Approaching Without Local Presence

14:00
Mistake #2: Targeting the Wrong Buyer Tier

The difference between national distributors, regional distributors, and direct retail buyers — and why most exporters target the wrong tier first.

21:00
Mistake #3: Under-prepared Compliance Documentation

The compliance documentation US buyers require before a serious conversation can begin — and the most common gaps international manufacturers have.

28:00
Mistake #4: Inadequate Follow-Up

Why US buyers require more consistent, localised follow-up than any other market — and how to structure a follow-up sequence that works

35:00

Key Takeaways

  • US buyers require local presence or representation before they will engage seriously with a new international supplier
  • Regional and category-specialist distributors are far more accessible entry points than national distributors for most exporters
  • Compliance documentation must be prepared before, not during, US buyer outreach
  • GaziAI’s US on-ground team manages buyer communication and relationships on behalf of international manufacturers
  • US market entry is achievable within a single quarter with the right support and verified buyer intelligence
