Overview
This webinar will examine similarities and differences between US and European export control legislation, and will consider that a business compliant with notoriously stringent US rules cannot assume itself to be compliant in the EU.

David Hayes has many years experience in export controls from an industry and regulator’s perspective. In 2007, recognising an increasing demand from industry, especially in relation to UK companies having to deal with US controls, he established his own consultancy. David is also a senior advisor and director of UK affairs with the Washington DC based consultancy, MK Technology. David is a widely recognised expert in his field and a regular speaker at national and international export control events.

Ross Denton is a partner in the Baker & McKenzie’s European Community, Competition & Trade Department in London and a member of the Japanese Practice Group. He also served as coordinator of the Firm’s International Trade & WTO Practice Group. Ross routinely advises US and Japanese multinationals on EU and UK competition matters and international trade law issues. He focuses on public regulations of international trade, export controls, public procurement and customs matters.

In response to our growing international client base, Mansfield Sales Partners is hosting a Webinar on July 29th at 11:00AM ET. The Webinar is designed for non-US based companies that are thinking about expanding sales into the US. The abstract is as follows:

At some point, all successful companies will want the benefit of selling into the lucrative US market. Many CEOs grapple with the timing of establishing a US based team, managing them and providing them with the necessary sales tools to be successful quickly. It can be incredibly expensive to build the wrong team or set the wrong goals, and it can be confusing when things that worked in other countries fail to generate results in the US.

During this brief Webinar, we will discuss several options for building and managing sales teams in the US, along with the costs, benefits and challenges associated with each option. The content should provide food for thought about the reality vs. the perception of the overall cost of building the team, things to think about when managing the team and strategies behind setting goals and expectations.

Presenters:

• Greg Dunne, CEO, Mansfield Sales Partners, LLC.
• Mark Hogan, CEO, Government Sales Specialists, LLC.

Registration for the Webinar can be done through our website at www.mansfieldsp.com. We would welcome any Ireland based and/or Enterprise Ireland affiliated companies.
