The value for me was sharing both general ideas and specific details that can be actioned
These events give a good opportunity to both network and exchange ideas on best business practise
Great meeting lots of new faces and new members
Interesting open discussion on various aspects of conducting business internationally
As ever, the other guests sharing their knowledge, combined with a delightfully frank and open presentation by Abigail of her business ups and downs
Key tip - get the right people in off-shore locations to make internationalisation a success.
Remember to maximise your business locally before going abroad
Key tip - get your facts before you commit
CEO's should never give up sales, no matter how big their business gets, otherwise they lose vital touch with the market
Gio gave excellent insights and advice on doing business both locally and internationally. Also having someone of Gio's business accumen giving up his valuable time to help other less experienced entrepreneurs like myself is very much appreciated
Gio kept the discussion flowing well
Abigail gave an excellent talk on her personal experiences -both good and bad - of doing business abroad
Abigail was very good and it was a very open discussion
Abigail was professional, prepared, honest and highly credible
