Better Business Across Borders with Malcolm Gallagher

Malcolm Gallagher is the Director of BizVision Ltd., a Chartered Marketer, Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, and a Freeman of the City of London. His brands include Sell Global and Win Contracts & Tenders but he is especially proud of the growth of his Conscious & Better Business brand, BVTV Channel, and new membership Club. Malcolm of BizVision used to be a “have suitcase ready will travel” person helping businesses around the world do “Business across Borders”. Today his suitcase is in the attic but he is travelling more than ever to not only promote the UK but also to meet top business and thought leaders around the world from his BVTV Studios in Northumberland, Northern England. “Businesses have had to change the way they not only do business but go for growth,” he says ”We’ve responded and built the triple award-winning BVTV network of 9 Business Channels now reaching a massive diaspora of valuable business connections,” he continued. KEY TAKEAWAYS Learning and trust are the key components of a better business across borders. We mostly ignore the fact that being prepared for the new market and learning about their cultures beforehand is the foundation of success. This way, we can gain their trust. Our aim should be to encourage small business owners to take the first step without forgetting the commercial side of it. With the help of each other, we all can grow and scale our businesses. BEST MOMENTS “I believe that by being a better business and by that, I mean you know where you are to the planet, people, profits and purpose. By being a better business, you will achieve faster growth because people will want to do business with you because importantly as well when you are committed to the conscious embedded business agenda, we call out conscious compass, when you’re committed to that you making a statement and saying you can trust us and trust is something that I believe has been a lot in the world and people want to trust. It is a big big issue now. It is an issue why people leave businesses; it is an issue why customers leave businesses so on that.” “There is a challenge, I think, in the best way to export is always to sell to your neighbour. Your neighbours first.” “What we need to do is, we need to give everybody confidence that they can achieve it. The work you’re doing, sterling work you’re doing particularly your great book there, is helping people realise the opportunities there. It’s just getting off the ground to do it and that is the problem within many businesses with finding this just too few within the business a committed to growth.” “Small businesses are so usually so busy that they don’t take enough time for learning. They say 90% of the success is in preparation. There’s no doubt about that…Not enough businesses are prepared to go and understand the culture of a new country and that really is important to me. I think it is the foundation of success.” ABOUT THE HOST Levent Yildizgoren, the author of 'Good Business in any Language', is an award-winning entrepreneur, localisation professional, and a PRINCE2 qualified project manager.
