What are some effective strategies for evaluating international expansion performance?
Global factors Exchange rates / availability of FX Local Regulartory rules now and pending Supply chain - increased fuel cost drive these up Work with your partners - I sell through not to - ie their issue is your issue

What are some effective strategies for evaluating international expansion performance?
Always be flexible Identify the cause of change - which can be both over selling or underselling But then openly review with your partners - recent global events will impact upon a business - many of which neither you or your partner could foresee So be mindful not to switch paths when a goal is missed - but double check why missed and would change actually result in a different outcome

What are some effective strategies for evaluating international expansion performance?
I try to work with my partners and get them to set the targets - this way they buy in / own them But clearly check they are realistic- many international distributors promise the world ….but once challenged for the details fade away A detailed plan by product / timings / volume value and margin should be targeted and measured

Introduction of new Forecasting system
Developed a full forecasting model that was by SKU illustrating contribution - and flexible enough to allow various what if scenarios to enable the account managers / business make the most commercially viable decisions.
This involved developing the tool and training the full team - was rolled out as pivotal tool for the whole business as helped sales / marketing / finance / production -
Baby and children’s range
-
Created a range of Bell range of Baby and Children’s range. Previously was a miss match of products which were designed back in the 60’s !!. Created a comprehensive range of products in a strong modern branded range with strong shelf impact. This range is also supported with regulatory required CTD’s that were previously missing too. As as result Bells now have an excellent range of quality product all produced in the UK with full Regulartory support. Ideal for both existing and new markets
-
Updated website
-
The old website was not only dated but actually still featured discontinued lines - to further complicate the project the previous hosting company had ceased trading so Bells had control of this. Designed a new one that Bells now control the CMS - so we can update and amend as needed in house. Also reflects the current re branded ranges. A real benefit for the whole company and our International distributors
