✈️ 15 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲. 𝗝𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀. 𝗧𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.

I just got back from an amazing week in Australia. My partner David and I participated in a Wisconsin trade mission organized by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) and supported by Foley, their export partner in Australia.

After a 15-hour flight from SFO to Sydney (and a battle with jet lag I’m still not sure I’ve won), I connected with some truly innovative businesses and agencies in Sydney and Melbourne.

Here are a few standouts:
• 𝗥𝗠𝗣 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹, Vx Group client, and builder of highway noise walls made from recycled sea plastic.
• 𝗕𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘆, a manufacturer of armored steel.
• 𝗔𝘃-𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺, builders of ground stations for satellite communications.
• 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃, a global leader in automated packaging equipment.
• Import and export agencies like 𝗔𝗺𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺 and 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗡𝗦𝗪.

What really stood out to me was the energy and eagerness of these companies to expand into the U.S. market.

But for many, the process can feel complicated—so much so that it often leads to inaction. That’s where the Vx Group comes in. Our team-based approach and Measured in Millions methodology make U.S. market entry fast, frictionless, and effective.

But here’s the big takeaway for me: 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. We have 32 new friends 9,000 miles (14,500 km) away who need our attention and care. This trip was a stark reminder that the first meeting is just the start—it’s up to us to nurture those connections, build trust, and create partnerships that deliver value over time.

Huge thanks to 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗖 and 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 for making this adventure possible and seamless. And to everyone we met: I can’t wait to see where these conversations take us (once the jet lag clears).

💬 Let’s talk! If you want to expand to the U.S. or accelerate your growth here, I’d love to hear your story.

When summer winds down and the kids head back to school, we enter one of the most critical times of the year for B2B sales: High-Value Relationship Development Season.

From Labor Day until mid-December, as the chaos of summer subsides, people refocus on their work and annual goals. And most have fallen behind. They start planning and budgeting for the next year, making this the perfect window to start and build those million-dollar relationships.

During this period, prospects are more receptive and eager for valuable information that helps them stay on track and meet their year-end milestones. The mounting pressure to reach their goals and secure bonuses and raises makes them receptive to fresh ideas, action-oriented, and decisive.

Are you ready for prime relationship development and selling season? What are you doing to ensure you hit your relationship development and sales targets this year? You've got six weeks to prepare. Share your action list in the comments, and I'll help keep you accountable. Let's go!

A few weeks ago, on a spectacular fall business trip to London, we announced David Tisdale as the new President of the Vx Group. David has been leading the business with me since we met more than eight years ago. He's a great leader and a great friend. Together, we will impact the trajectory of businesses around the world.

So what does that mean for me? I've taken on the role of Founder and CEO. I'll work closely with a focused team to drive all our portfolio businesses' vision, evolution, and growth.

I'm more excited than ever about what we're building at the Vx Group, and I appreciate everyone who has been on this crazy journey with us.

Growth is Good.

We're Growing Global!

Since day one of the Vx Group, our vision has included building a global business. In 2021 we focused on expanding our international footprint and impact. I'm proud to share that business is booming, and the value we're bringing to our new global clients is stronger than ever.

Our spin on global business is a little different than most. While we have always helped our North American clients grow their business internationally, our growing niche is working closely with international companies to sell their products and services in the US. We've signed seven new clients from New Zealand, Israel, and Turkey in the past three months.

It's been amazing seeing how fast we've grown our international client portfolio at the Vx Group, and I'm beyond proud of the team we've assembled to make it happen. I can't wait to pack my bags, hop on a plane, and visit my new friends around the world. I'll share a few stories along the way as our new global relationships evolve.
