CME’s focus on possible international expansion led to the creation of an Export Marketing Plan from the SBDC at the University of South Florida. “They went out and looked at where products like ours were being sold internationally,” Crews says. “It got us to begin to focus on the international marketplace and gave us an idea as to what opportunities were out there.” Since then, Crews has participated in networking events to educate herself on foreign business cultures and has participated in trade missions to Canada and Chile.
