Foreign sales agent

A foreign sales agent represents a business in a market outside of its home country (i.e., a foreign market). Companies choose foreign sales agents they trust, who know the target market because they live there and are experienced in helping similar businesses grow there.

Foreign sales agents serve the interests of the companies who hire them, helping build connections, find customers, and market and sell products and services.
