Most US companies expanding into Europe make the same mistakes: they treat EMEA as one market, throw salespeople at the problem, and wonder why the pipeline never shows up. In this episode of Making Revenue Tick, Rich and Campbell Williams walk through the six oops moments that derail enterprise expansion, and exactly how to avoid each one. Campbell is a CMO-level go-to-market leader who has spent his career building demand engines across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa for North American businesses scaling internationally.
We discuss:
1. Why treating EMEA as one market can hurt expansion plans
2. The reporting structure that creates sales versus marketing infighting
3. How to win real local autonomy from a North American HQ
4. Defining ICP, personas, and the ABM sweet spot for a new region
5. Why only 5% of your market is ready to buy now
6. What separates great account-based marketing from vanity metrics
7. The first three marketing hires to build a demand engine in EMEA
