One of the biggest challenges we face frankly is not being able to focus on just one country or culture because the majority of our business comes in the way of inquiries due to social permission marketing. Since this kind of marketing almost always involves customers making the first move to request more information about our products or services, it's hard to even know who I will be speaking to until the conversation begins. Some of these spontaneous conversations have gone well and since in some cases we have not gotten the business, I can only assume some have not.
