What line of work? What country is he in? What does he do in the company?<br>You know who you're looking for. Let's get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Method 1: Search directly on Linkedln<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Use keywords like<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><br>plastic injection company Malaysia<br>Construction equipment distributor Egypt<br>food processing factory Peru<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><br>All that comes up is basically the company name, and you click on it to see the company's homepage<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method 2: Google assist to find companies and then check Linkedln<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Let's say you search Google:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><br>Top 20 food packaging companies in Turkey<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><br>When it comes out you copy the company name into the Linkedln search and go in and look at it<br>Is it a good fit? If it is, move on.<br>Finding a company is just the first step, it's the people who can actually make the call that you want to talk to<br>These are the people you're looking for:<br>CEO\/Founder-Small company owner, says what's going on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchasing Manager\/ Procurement Head- Head of Purchasing for large companies, control of orders<br>Technical\/Plant Manager - the person who uses the equipment and influences the purchasing decision.<br>These people you can add, add who mainly depends on whether your product is sold to people who use it or middlemen<br>The other most important thing to determine is whether this client is worth your time or not.<br>You can't talk to everyone. Some people are not trustworthy. Don't waste your energy.<br>What do you look for? Look at these points:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>1. Does the company look like anything?<br>There's an official website, a profile, and more than three or five employees<br>The home page shows what is done (clearly written)<br>The product is somewhat related to you, not too far across the board<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>2. Is this person alive?<br>Recent posting and liking of others indicates activity<br>There's something specific in the blurb, not a shell number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>3. Is this person the type of person you are looking for?<br>mismatch<br>Is there a market for your product in the region?<br>Is there any potential room for cooperation (e.g., doing distribution, OEM, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Next step: make a connection, but don't sell right off the bat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>This is a mistake that many people tend to make.
