Exporters: companies that also sell abroad

knows how large an area a company operates in, and which languages its website is in. If your offer is tied to exporting or to languages, these two show clearly who needs it now. In the example, a technical translation agency looks for Hungarian machine builders that also sell abroad but do not have a German-language site yet. The whole example runs in one conversation, and each step moves on with one condition.

This is for you if…

you are looking for companies that are also present in foreign markets;
your offer is tied to website languages, foreign customers or exporting;
you care more about how large a market the companies work in than about their size.

What will be ready at the end

A checked target group of the machine builders that also sell abroad and whose website has no German version, with an email address suited to the task, in a campaign written for this segment.

Six steps

Each step comes with the sentence you can copy into Apex, and what Apex does with it.

Line of business, country, market
Name the line of business, the country, and that the company should also sell abroad. also looks at each company's area of operation, checks it against the company's description too, and brings the ones present in international markets; in the reason it says what in the company's description points to this. Naming the country matters because Apex searches country by country; if you leave it out, it asks.
Where: the conversation with Apex; the conditions in the results panel on the right
Ask ApexApex does it
We do technical translation. We're looking for Hungarian machine builders that also sell abroad.
In the reply: 5 machine builders by name, each with what in its description points to selling abroad.
The website's languages
The machine builders and the foreign market stay; now the website's language narrows the field. Apex knows the language versions of the companies' websites. For a company without a German site, German translation is an obvious next step. In the same way, you can also ask for companies that do have an English site.
Where: in the results panel, among the search conditions
Ask ApexApex does it
I need the ones that don't have a German-language site yet.
In the reply: a new sample of the ones that have no German-language site.
Manufacturers, without dealers
If the sample includes a machinery dealer, explain the difference. The conditions so far stay; Apex checks this too for every further company and brings only the ones that manufacture themselves.
Where: the conversation with Apex; the criteria in the results panel
Ask ApexApex does it
I don't want machinery dealers, only the manufacturers.
In the reply: a new sample, without the dealers.
The rest, in batches
If the direction is right, Apex brings the rest of the companies in batches, with the same conditions: if you give no number, up to 100 in one batch. The batch is prepared in the background, and you can keep working in the meantime.
Where: in the results panel; the background batch, on the task card in the conversation
Ask ApexApex does it
Looks right, bring 30 more companies like these.
In the reply: the batch starts; if the number you asked for does not fit into your allowance right now, how many do fit, and when the allowance refills.
Collecting the email addresses
For each company, Apex collects the best-fitting company email address. If the website has several addresses, it picks the one that fits what you want to achieve: for a translation offer, for example, the address of the export or marketing manager if the website gives it, otherwise the general address.
Where: in the results panel; the chosen address on the company's record
Ask ApexApex does it
Collect the email addresses, and where there is one, pick the address of whoever handles export or marketing.
In the reply: for how many companies it found an address and for how many it did not.
Campaign and social profiles
Apex puts the companies that have an address into a campaign; you write the letters together with Apex for this segment. Before you contact an important company, look at its record: it shows the company's own social profiles, if the company publishes them on its website.
Where: Customer acquisition › Campaigns; the social profiles on the company's record, on the Datasheet tab
Ask ApexApex does it; you approve the launch
Put the companies into a new campaign called “German translation”.

Frequently asked questions

What most people ask in this situation.

Does it work for other languages too?

Yes. For any language, you can ask for companies that do or do not have a site in that language, for example English or Slovak.

How does Apex know that a company exports?

From the company's own website: if it says it ships abroad or works for foreign customers.

Do only the big manufacturers come up?

looks at the market: a small workshop is included too if it also sells abroad.

What else can I ask for when searching?

You will find ready-made sentences in the Knowledge base: Target groups and search.

Pitfalls

What most people run into, and how to avoid it.

Leaving out the country

searches country by country. If you do not say where to search, it asks; if you say it at the start, the sample comes one round sooner.

Too many conditions at once

Export, language, line of business and city together give a very narrow field. Start with the line of business and exporting, and add the language after the sample.
