U.S. Market Entry

Entering the U.S. is not just a sales decision. It is an operating decision.

The Mack Standard helps international companies understand what it will take to enter, test, launch, and operate in the United States.

Four Stages

Get ready, test, enter, then build for growth.

Most companies do not fail in the U.S. because the product was wrong. They fail because the operating side was not ready for the commitments they made.

01

Get Ready

Review the company’s product, operations, pricing, partners, customer experience, fulfillment, vendors, and U.S. readiness.

02

Test the Market

Validate demand through pilots, partnerships, pop-ups, buyer conversations, or other controlled market tests.

03

Enter the Market

Build the operating plan around U.S. launch, vendors, distribution, partners, workflows, responsibilities, and reporting.

04

Build for Growth

Strengthen the systems needed to support greater U.S. volume, more customers, new retail or distribution relationships, and expansion.
