Once you've finished assessing the competion, the next step is to talk to somebody who is already in the business. If you think owners of nearby export management consultants businesses will give you advice, think again. What's in it for them?

But, a person who owns an export management consultants business in a different city will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
