Over the years psps has assisted several hundreds of U.S. and other nationalities companies to enter one or more of the Benelux markets.
Since 2000 psps has organized more than 120 inbound and outbound governmental and non-governmental trade missions, serving more than 1,500 Dutch and foreign companies. Many of these missions were handled by psps in the capacity of preferred supplier and frame contractor of The Netherlands Enterprise Agency, the Dutch National Economic Development Organization, a role that psps has fulfilled since 2006.
Since 2018 psps is offering a new service product called Leads2Business. It uses LinkedIn to increase international revenue for SMEs. The service starts by defining a specific market supported with a market entry strategy. Business leads are then identified and approached on LinkedIn by psps on behalf of the client, by applying reversed social selling techniques. After four months, results are qualified sales calls and an international lead pipeline. Leads2Business is often applied to better prepare for international trade show attendance – as an exhibitor or visitor.
