Industry Sectors Overview

As you consider bringing your product to the US it's important to understand the lay of the land.  Below you will find a short summary of our view of the current market from a selection of sectors we serve.  These short summaries are not meant to be the final word on each sector however it is a starting point.  Sales Direct LLC have concentrated most of our efforts over the last decade on working with a wide array of British companies wanting to either break into America for the first time or to grow their existing presence in the USA.   One could ask ‘how is it possible to be successful at generating enquiries in such diverse industry sectors without expertise within those sectors?’ The answer lies in the fact that we possess the marketing knowledge and experience required to bring products and services to the US market.  Irrespective of the sector it is ultimately about in country marketing.
