Think exporting is only for the big guys? Think again!  97 percent of all U.S. exporters are small to medium sized companies and of that group two-thirds of those companies have less than 20 employees.  Small businesses looking to increase sales and profit, reduce dependence on the domestic market and stabilize seasonal fluctuations should consider growing their exports. This half-day program will emphasize why exporting is good for your bottom line and make you aware of the tools and assistance available to make your company an exporting success!
