Market size attracts attention. Market access earns the next conversation.
Imagine two possible service areas. One offers 1,000 plausible accounts; another offers 200. The smaller area is not automatically better. Nor is the larger one automatically more valuable. These illustrative counts tell us nothing about buying intent, contribution or the cost of serving a customer. Opportunity requires a closer commercial reading.
For SMEs connecting the United States and Africa, the distance may involve expectations as much as geography. A partner can open a door without establishing a sustainable business behind it. Representation, market intelligence and local operating capacity deserve consideration together.
