DDG Worldwide Key Differentiators

Beyond certifications, beyond tariff documents, beyond logistical distribution of pieces and parts lies the domain of market acceptance. Gaining acceptance of your product under local needs and buyer motivation is critical to revenue success. Anyone can introduce your company to distributors. And any company can achieve early channel-centric sales. We at DDG Worldwide go beyond to create real value propositions that have sustainable advantage.

Distribution PartnershipsMany of our clients rely on us to build in-country channels. We leverage all the network contacts we have in Commerce and business communities in those countries we focus on. Building rapid market presence is critical for smaller companies; the upfront costs can be punitive. While most companies in the U.S. only export to one other country, the opportunity to leverage other company’s experience requires a centralized player to make the introductions. DDG Worldwide can be that player.

DDG Worldwide’s strong relationship with foreign embassies in the U.S. ensures privileged access to trade missions to even some of the most inaccessible markets.
