Finding, managing and keeping the best distributors for your business in Latin America

Webex

Wednesday, 25 November 2020 14:00-15:00

Please note this is a practical event aimed at businesses interested in trading internationally or wanting to learn more about the service Department for International Trade North East (formerly UKTI North East) provides.

Join the Department for International Trade North East and Sunny Sky Solutions, for a free webinar sharing practical advice on how to establish and maintain relationships with distributors in the Latin American market.

All exporters know that overseas distributors are critical to the success of their business. Identifying local contacts who have experience and an understanding of the market is useful at any time. Now, more than ever, this is a positive way to maintain your presence in-market and ensure that you take advantage of opportunities as they arise. This is even more so the case in Latin America because it’s far away, often little known, and because business in the region is highly relationship-based.

So how do we go about finding, managing and keeping distributors in the region? How is the pandemic affecting this?

Gabriela Castro-Fontoura, director at Sunny Sky Solutions, has been supporting UK businesses at all stages of working with distributors across Latin America for 10 years. In this webinar, she will join us from Uruguay to go beyond the obvious to give North East exporters some hands-on advice to spot, recruit and grow with the best distributors in countries as diverse as Chile, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.
