In the last 4 years, I’ve given dozens of talks for startups from dozens of countries on how to expand to the US Last week Innovit hosted a panel where I spoke to an audience of 40 Italian scaleups and startups, including those from the Fintech & Insurtech Bootcamp. I shared 3 critical strategies for success in selling in the USA: 1- Understanding the problem Solution fit is key to defining your approach. It answers the potential customers asking themselves, “Why? Why does this matter to me”? Show them that you understand their painpoints. 2- Crafting a strong value proposition that resonates with your audience to set you apart. This addresses the “Why you? Why are you different from all the others”? Make sure your company and solutions are recognizably different (and better). 3- Timing matters Understand and be able to explain the “Why now? Why should I take action right now”? If there is no pressing need, risk-averse American managers will not make decisions. Create incentives or demonstrate how much money your potential customer is losing every day by not using your solution. We also discussed the importance of: - Developing a deep understanding of the U.S. sales cycle and establishing a methodical approach to sales. - Tailoring messaging strategies for different buyer personas — Technical, Procurement, and C-Suite — for  clear and targeted communication. - Considerations for a mindshare strategy and an influencer approach to create awareness of your new company (in the USA). - And creating a specific sales engagement strategy and compensation model that align with U.S. market dynamics. A big thank you to the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, the ITA - Italian Trade Agency and the INNOVIT - Italian Innovation and Culture Hub for hosting this event. I’m eager to see how these innovative Italian companies will make their mark on Silicon Valley! #INNOVIT #StartupBootcamp #Fintech INNOVIT - Italian Innovation and Culture Hub is a groundbreaking technological outpost in Silicon Valley, dedicated to connecting the Italian economic, scientific, and cultural ecosystems with the U.S. market.
