What if one thing that is holding back your sales is NOT your product, pricing, or the market? https://youtu.be/6SssZkebpjU

Dr. Jackson shares how she helped a client to overcome the same challenge that she faced exactly six years ago. Once the client overcame this common hurdle so that she could compete in the domestic market, her company grew both in terms of revenue and being able to hire within four months. Additionally, she is enjoying watching her sales grow with repeat customers.

Your company may be facing the same challenge and could benefit from the simple tips. Share this piece with other business owners.

We can say that the approach outlined in the video and video description still works for Dr. Jackson and the growth of GRIIT.

Dr. Jackson and the client's journey together continues a little over a year later as they collaborate to build a company that is prepared to handle the risks associated with global expansion.

"Services like mine, HR consulting, can also consider international trade to be something that I can be equipped to do. Before today, that wasn't even on my radar. Thankfully, after today's phenomenal speech from Dr. Sarita Jackson, I am able to now also know that I can also consider that to be part of what I will be offering." - Maria Rivas, Human Resources Consultant, MJR Business Advisory Group

Last month, I received the Certificate of Completion of Apprenticeship from the US Department of Labor upon demonstrating my ability to use my 2025 cybersecurity training to serve as a cybersecurity business counselor for small businesses.

I am enjoying the journey with clients who appreciate my simple language, step-by-step approach, and focus on empowerment rather than fear and pressure tactics.

Expanding my focus on digital trade to include cybersecurity has led to numerous opportunities to provide value to the business community. I look forward to my next speaking engagement, which will include a discussion on digital sovereignty. As an important topic being discussed in tech and global business circles, I am sharing my insights from Trade on Tues@2.

Get timely event updates via our newsletter at www.griit.org.

Additionally, a collaborative research project on digital technology, international trade, and cybersecurity, which I am leading, has received another set of positive feedback. Sign up for the Global Business Pulse newsletter for insights from our current research projects.

What changes are having the greatest impact on businesses today?

Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to speak with executives, entrepreneurs, and business owners across a variety of industries. To continue the conversation, I recently asked my community which changes, from global business and AI to cybersecurity, evolving regulations, and economic uncertainty, are having the greatest impact on their organizations.

The responses have been insightful.
