I help international companies succeed in the United States. I have been doing this as a consultant for over 10 years. Before that, like the author Leif Holmvall, I traveled the world for 12 years as an international salesman. I share this with you so you have some idea of the qualifications I posses to make this recommendation. Simply put, Leif has succeeded where academia and government organizations (Small Business Administration, etc...) have failed in creating the first useful, practical, easy to digest guide for taking your private business global.To Business Owners Everywhere: If you read this book, plan as he says, engage local experts to use as a sounding board and to advise where needed, and then fully commit your company to this endeavor YOU WILL SUCCEED. More than that you and your company will grow not only from increased international sales but also from the agility and product innovation that comes from competing in a broader world market.I highly recommend this book be read cover to cover and then kept readily accessible in your company's business library as a resource to continually guide you through the global expansion process.Mike GomezPresident, Allegro Consulting - the business growth specialistGrowth is Everything[...]
I have taught higher education international business and marketing courses for over 21 years. During this time I have used or reviewed numerous texts for several levels of instruction in international business, marketing, export/import and international negotiations. Most of the texts used in colleges and universities today tend to be academic, theoretical and can cost a student upwards of $200.There is a vast need for export/import texts and ancillary teaching materials to satisfy the needs of corporate/executive training, seminar/workshop, community college, small business development and international trade center markets, as well as the university level.In my professional opinion, I believe that, in its class and price range, Export & Import: Winning in the Global Marketplace by Leif Holmvall is the best book on today's export/import book market. It is far superior to export/import books produced by government agencies, other authors and publishers.The major strengths of this text (and soon to be available teacher's handbook, Power Point presentations, group work exercises and exams) is its clarity, conciseness, ease of reading, excellent illustrations and graphics, practical hands-on approach, supported by real world examples. This book will serve both the beginner and the seasoned export/importer as a valuable, comprehensive, text and reference guide. This book reflects the world-wide experience and entrepreneurship of the author as a successful practitioner and not that of merely a theoretician.Gene J. MalvinoProfessor (retired) International Business and Marketing,Small Business Development and International Trade Center Export Business Coach

Keep up the good work Mr. Lief, this book is brilliant !
I bought this book about import & export written by Leif Holmvall and I must say it is fascinating from the very first page. It is incredible how Leif can concentrate a high volume of information in clear and concise phrases and eventually come to useful conclusions that help the reader take the next steps in the right direction. This is definitely the best book I bought on this subject ever. Easy to read as well.
