Hi:
Sounds cool. Not clear on your target export markets, but some things to consider:
1. Identify your optimal customer and the problem you're resolving for that customer. Quality? Cost? Availability?
2. Research the pathways your product has to get into that optimal customer's hands. Wholesalers/distributors exist across the food business (at least in the US), so they would be a must for this market. Furthermore, how does the end-buyer actually purchase goods like yours? There will be differences between a retail buyer and an institutional buyer.
3. Develop a promotional plan for each of those targeted audiences based on standard approaches, which might include trade shows, personal pitches, in-store demonstrations.
If you wish to discuss, send me a PM through Clarity for 15 free minutes.
Cheers,

Well to have such a Strategy you should first identify your potential markets and customers. Including what kind of businesses do you target. Depending on who they are and where you can start by exploring how direct or indirect competition operates on that market. Don’t forget about post Marketing preoaration for talks with the potential buyers.

Do I need to register with government authorities when dealing with exported products?
It is possible. You generally have two ways to export water to the USA: 1. You export directly to the USA, It means you will import product into the USA and resell inside the USA by yourself. This is the most complicated strategy, and if you are just starting, then I don't suggest that for you. In this case, you indeed need to have Company registered in the USA: 2. You sell to USA importer. You need to find the importer who is interested in about importing drinking water. Then you no need to register USA company, but you need to provide all needed certificates and licenses for USA importer.MK

How can I stay competitive among the local competitors as an agent importing foreign goods?
I'm going to make 2 assumptions in my reply 1. You're selling these to companies 2. These are rather expensive systems. Basically for such a situation, what you have right now is a first mover advantage. That basically means you have the opportunity to gain quick traction and find early adopters for your systems. If you act fast enough and manage to get companies to buy them from you, this gives you a huge advantage on your competitors. Why? This is because you have the opportunity to forge close relationships with customers and get testimonials. In the future, your competitors might be able to beat you pricewise, but that is never a substitute for trust in your company and the relationships you've been able to forge. So I would suggest spending a lot of time on 2 things 1. Creating a holistic experience for the customer from the installation of the software to the deployment. You want to be there at every step of the way when needed. If necessary, set it up for them, do some free repairs(If it doesn't cost you much). At this point you're building the relationship between you and your customers so going the extra mile counts. 2. You also want to start getting some form of testimonial to build trust and confidence in your product. This is important because word-of-mouth is more influential than advertising when selling a product. Without further information, this is all that I can come up with for now. If you're keen, I could discuss more specific strategies with you for your business and cover key actionable steps you could take to accelerate your growth and sales. :)IL
