Export Excellence Helps Rodenator Blast Export Sales

Ed Meyer, left, produces the Rodenator pest elimination system at his plant in Emmet, Idaho. Export sales that had grown to 40% of the business balanced out sales lost due to the U.S. recession. Meyer used Export Excellence to focus on additional foreign markets that would stabilize the business.

"In the past I've had lots of information thrown at me, but this class helped me pull everything together, write a plan, and develop clear goals,” said Meyer. “The interactive approach and small class size was perfect for lots of one-on-one discussions with the pros that they brought in. They enabled me to fast track my international business plan. “ExporTech asks for just a small investment of time to really see what your potential is. It has been invaluable to me. As an entrepreneur, I’ve never enjoyed the details of planning and paperwork, but this class helped me see a clear vision of our potential and develop a specific plan for getting there. The class is a tremendous value, and I hope more people take advantage of it.”

Soon after the class Meyer established new distributorships in South Africa, Spain, and France. He plans to add two new distributors each year to reach his goal of 75% international business. Link to Rodenator Success Story Here.
