In today’s internet connected world, news regarding a new product travels fast.  Your product may be purchased in Denver today, and carried off in a Boeing 777 tomorrow, and end up in a multitude of cities around the globe.   

Many small and medium size American companies get internet inquiries from foreign countries regarding the desire to purchase their product.  Often, these inquiries result in a package delivered to someone on the other side of the globe via the postal service or UPS.   These small international shipments create a nice buzz around the office, but rarely result in a meaningful increase to the company’s bottom line.   This is Reactive International Sales.
