We've got a problem!

We have experienced a silent revolution in this competitive global economy that has taken many of our jobs overseas.  Many companies have joined the movement to bring their manufacturing to lower labor cost countries.  OK, great!  Now what...?  You have lowered costs, ...but have you increased your sales?  Are things REALLY better for you today? 

Aggressive companies want to take action but most don't know how to get past the time barrier, language gap, and process differences that selling overseas presents.

 

They've got a need!

Taking your skills, resources and products to the growing Middle Classes of fast growth countries such as China and India, you can capitalize on our American advantage of innovation, design, and the ability to use Advanced Technological Process Engineering which has made US goods some of the best in the World!  

These countries are buying our stuff!  The question is, are you selling them...or is someone else?

 

CCI provides the answer!

Continental Connect connects companies to overseas markets that are recognized as prime countries buying US Manufactured goods.  Our customers see us as their “Asia Pacific Sales Force across the street” offering global marketing analysis, penetration and sales management!

Here are key questions our customers ask:

  • What can we sell overseas, how much, and to whom?
  • How do we establish a relationship with these markets?
  • How much could we sell and at what price, and what would be the total “landed cost”?
  • How do we manage our inventory in this NEW global pipeline?

 

Every Michigan company dealing with manufactured products is struggling right now with these same questions…

Continental Connect gives answers. Our local team of Market Strategists and Logistics Specialists work with your team, developing and implementing flexible and responsive strategies for prime global markets that purchase your goods.
