On August 9th, 2012, the Arizona District Export Council in partnership with Federal Express and the US Department of Commerce is hosting a training event designed to help your company or organization succeed in increasing sales to Mexico. In this session, participants will be lead through the detailed process of exporting to Mexico. Mexico, just a short drive away from Metro Phoenix, offers amazing potential for Arizona manufacturers, suppliers and service providers. While geographically close, Mexico still presents a challenge for many U.S. companies that struggle to understand cultural differences in business, the processes of a business transaction within Mexico, identification of decision makers, legal issues, documentation and security concerns. This training will provide detailed answers to your questions on doing business in Mexico. Afterwards, FedEx will provide a complimentary networking reception over lunch.
