Why you should go for it
Most B2B companies start exploring new markets, including Saudi Arabia, by going there for a business trip. Usually in these trips they try to catch up with their potential customers through their existing connections on the ground or abroad. They also try to hit relevant people via DMs on social media and try to get meetings with them. The main disadvantage of this approach is that they are meeting people who may not really have an urgent need for their products or services, but are meeting them just out of curiosity or courtesy to their common connections.
The alternative “Test the waters” approach that CFC Big Ideas is offering lets a B2B company meet their potential customers virtually even before they get on a trip or decide to go for next steps, like legal setup and market expansion.
