Doing Business in Germany
Guten Tag and welcome to Germany!
I’m Andra Riemhofer, an independent business development consultant who helps international technology companies navigate the German market.
I connect small and medium-sized companies and startups with German B2B buyers and partners and support them all the way from initial market understanding through to first sales conversations and business negotiations, as needed.
If you’re looking to clarify your opportunities in Germany, identify the right buyers, or just start meaningful conversations with potential business partners, I’d be happy to help.
Why you might want my help
You may be looking to do business with German companies but finding it hard to get started. Perhaps you need a clearer understanding of the market structure and business culture, or your own research hasn’t led to specific, actionable leads. Many international companies reach out to sales prospects via LinkedIn or email and don’t receive a response. Others may plan to attend a German trade show but are unsure how to attract the right visitors to their booth or turn conversations into real opportunities. This is where I can step in for you.
Why go with a local consultant?
In Germany, the small details matter. Decisions made without a solid understanding of the market – or without local context – can be costly, and many promising business relationships have failed to take off because of minor cultural or communication missteps.
That’s why working with a local consultant like me, who understands both the German market and international business expectations, can make all the difference.
How I can support you in Germany
Whatever you consider your biggest challenge, you are most likely facing common obstacles when entering or developing the German market. This is where my support as a local consultant comes in.
