The reality

You work the booth for three days, collect a pile of cards, fly home, and watch the pipeline go cold inside a month. The US is the bigger market and the one that never quite happens. One rep on the ground is a coin flip for a country this size. A distributor who'll actually push your line is harder to find than the show made it look. And every follow-up call fights a 6-9 hour gap before it starts.

Your 20 minutes

What the 20 minutes gets you

You walk away with a straight read on your US move. Specifically:

Whether your product sells into US channels as-is, or needs repositioning first
Which route fits you: Inmotion carries your product in its own US channels, or runs a US market desk for your own entry
Two or three concrete next moves, from someone selling in the US this week

You bring the product. Gerald brings 25 years of selling it in America. No slides.
