Hints:• Have enough time and faith• Use consultation, already in the beginning (use 2-3 different persons, totally 5-10 days).• Fine tune Your marketing material (www pages, presentations, elevator speeches, business cards, info sheets, etc.), • Plan Your trips carefully. General program is good starting point, but arrange also own meetings.• If You do not have finished product yet, it is perfect: US is different.• Find partners but be aware of competitors, US is different also in that perspective.
