We adapt our language, strategy and approach to each market and make sure you reach the right decision-makers, whether you need appointment setting or sales consultants.
Today FutureMeets is a global company with a presence on every continent, and we have built broad expertise in international sales.
Growing internationally isn't just about being present in new markets. It's about reaching the right decision-makers, at the right time and in the right way.
With FutureMeets, you get a partner who understands the language, culture and local buying behaviour, and who creates business opportunities that drive global growth – through appointment setting or dedicated sales consultants.
Every company has different needs when expanding into new markets. That's why FutureMeets offers both appointment setting and end-to-end sales, adapted to your goals and resources.
As your appointment setting partner, we prospect, qualify and book meetings with the right decision-makers, so your team can focus on closing. When we run the whole sales process, we go further: we carry the conversation through demos, proposals and follow-up, close deals and find upselling opportunities to get the most out of every account.
That way, you can tailor the setup to your needs and pace of expansion. Whichever model you choose, you get our international experience, multilingual salespeople and proven processes that make it easier to succeed in new markets.
Three steps, from the first analysis to deals in the pipeline:
Every expansion starts with a thorough analysis. We identify the most promising markets, look at competition and buying behaviour, and define a clear ICP (Ideal Customer Profile). That way, we know which decision-makers to target and what makes a meeting qualified.
Once the market is chosen, we build lists of relevant companies and decision-makers. We validate the contact details, pick out the most promising prospects and reach out in the right language with the right message. Our salespeople adapt their approach to the local culture and decision-making process.
We book qualified meetings with the right decision-makers – C-level executives, managers and other key people with buying power. But we don't have to stop there. As an extension of your sales team, we can also carry the conversation through demos, proposals and follow-up, all the way to a closed deal and ongoing upselling.
There's no single right model. The choice depends on how proven the market is and how much control you want over the customer relationship.
| Model | How it works | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Hiring locally | A slow start, with recruitment, employer obligations and onboarding | The market is already proven and you want to build for the long term |
| Reseller or agent | Quick reach, but little control over the message and customer relationship | Your product fits into a partner's existing range |
| External sales partner | A quick start with multilingual salespeople, and you own the customer relationship | You want to test and build a market before you hire |
What usually holds back an international push isn't the calls, but what's missing once the customer agrees to a meeting.
Which industries, company sizes and roles to target. The same ICP rarely works unchanged in a new country.
Pricing, currency, delivery terms and contracts that are ready to sign. Buyers want to know what happens after the meeting.
Presentations, website and proposals in the language you sell in. A translated slogan won't convince a decision-maker.
Booked meetings need a salesperson with authority, in the right time zone and with time to follow up.
Which rules apply to contacting companies in the country, and how customer data is handled under GDPR and local law.
What counts as a qualified meeting, and which figures decide whether the market is worth further investment.
An export salesperson sells a company's products or services to customers in other countries. The role combines standard B2B sales with knowledge of the language, culture, customs, currency and contracts in the target market.
Take one market at a time. Choose the market where demand for your offer is clearest, define the target audience, adapt your material to the language and test with outbound sales before building a local organisation.
We work in the Nordics, the rest of Europe, the US and several markets beyond. In our first call, we'll go through which languages and markets suit your project.
Not always. Many companies start by selling from their home market and only set up a local entity once the business grows. The requirements depend on the country, the industry and how you invoice, so check with your accountant or lawyer.
Appointment setting is the right fit if you have salespeople who can take the meetings and you want to fill their calendars in a new market. Sales consultants are the right fit if you want us to run the whole deal, from first contact to close and follow-up.
It depends on the market and the language. We start by reviewing your target audience and offer, put together messaging and lists, and then begin outreach. You'll get a timeline before the project starts.
We book qualified meetings with decision-makers, at home and in new markets.
