the problem is almost never the product, it&#039;s the sales process.<\/p><p data-start=\"175\" data-end=\"267\">For many entrepreneurs, opening a business in the United States has become a symbol of expansion.<\/p><p>In addition to the commercial process, entry must avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/naventia.com\/en\/expandir-para-os-eua-os-erros-mais-caros-que-empresas-brasileiras-cometem\/\">The most expensive structural mistakes made by Brazilian companies in the US.<\/a>.<\/p><p data-start=\"269\" data-end=\"329\">But there is a problem that almost no one openly admits:<\/p><p data-start=\"331\" data-end=\"413\"><strong data-start=\"331\" data-end=\"413\">Many companies manage to enter the US market \u2014 and still fail to sell.<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"542\">The

website looks nice.<br data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"510\" \/>The speech seems international.<\/p><p data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"571\">But the recipe doesn&#039;t work.<\/p><p data-start=\"573\" data-end=\"651\">And this happens because many business owners get confused. <strong data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"635\">presence<\/strong> with <strong data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"650\">traction<\/strong>.<\/p><p data-start=\"653\" data-end=\"768\">Being present is relatively simple.<br data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"693\" \/>Generating demand, trust, and repeat business in a new market is a different story.<\/p><h2 data-section-id=\"u2sh56\" data-start=\"770\" data-end=\"838\">The first mistake: thinking that internationalization begins with opening up.<\/h2><p data-start=\"840\" data-end=\"851\">It doesn&#039;t start.<\/p><p data-start=\"853\" data-end=\"938\">Internationalization begins when the company accurately answers questions such

data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1134\">What is its concrete advantage?<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"1136\" data-end=\"1200\">Without these answers, starting a business is simply a matter of

lack of engagement.<\/p><p data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1489\">The company does work, invests, participates in meetings, networks, publishes content, and talks to potential clients.<\/p><p data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1518\">But it still hasn&#039;t converted.<\/p><p data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1528\">Why?<\/p><p data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1655\">Because the American market

The value proposition is confusing.<\/h2><p data-start=\"1698\" data-end=\"1730\">This is one of the biggest obstacles.<\/p><p data-start=\"1732\" data-end=\"1838\">Many Brazilian companies enter the US market translating their communication \u2014 but without translating the logic of their offer.<\/p><p data-start=\"1840\" data-end=\"1865\">They are left with messages like:<\/p><ul data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"1968\"><li data-section-id=\"468y6u\" data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"1888\"><p data-start=\"1868\" data-end=\"1888\">\u201c&quot;complete solutions&quot;\u201d<\/p><\/li><li data-section-id=\"7lbd46\" data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1918\"><p data-start=\"1891\" data-end=\"1918\">\u201c&quot;personalized service&quot;\u201d<\/p><\/li><li data-section-id=\"2i9zfk\" data-start=\"1919\" data-end=\"1944\"><p data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"1944\">\u201c&quot;excellence and innovation&quot;\u201d<\/p><\/li><li data-section-id=\"st5lo7\" data-start=\"1945\" data-end=\"1968\"><p data-start=\"1947\" data-end=\"1968\">\u201c&quot;tailor-made services&quot;\u201d<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"1991\">All of this is generic.<\/p><p data-start=\"1993\" data-end=\"2032\">And a mature market penalizes the general trend.<\/p><p data-start=\"2034\" data-end=\"2078\">If the customer doesn&#039;t understand within a few seconds:<\/p><ul data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2172\"><li data-section-id=\"1mdkvpj\" data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2096\"><p data-start=\"2081\" data-end=\"2096\">what do you do,<\/p><\/li><li data-section-id=\"efmbg7\" data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2113\"><p data-start=\"2099\" data-end=\"2113\">for those who do it,<\/p><\/li><li data-section-id=\"f6u2er\" data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2138\"><p data-start=\"2116\" data-end=\"2138\">which problem does it solve,<\/p><\/li><li data-section-id=\"1f5zv5o\" data-start=\"2139\" data-end=\"2172\"><p data-start=\"2141\" data-end=\"2172\">And why your solution is better,<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"2174\" data-end=\"2214\">He simply moves on to another option.<\/p><p data-start=\"2216\" data-end=\"2249\">In the US, confusion kills conversions.<\/p><h2 data-section-id=\"izoghy\" data-start=\"2251\" data-end=\"2312\">2.
