CHARLESTON, SC, October 21, 2026 – Sales Focus Inc. (SFI), a global leader in outsourced sales services, published “International Sales Outsourcing: The Complete Guide to Entering the US Market.” The 31-page white paper provides international companies with a practical framework for evaluating United States expansion and determining how to build a sales presence in the United States.

Authored by Sales Focus Founder and CEO Tony Horwath, the guide explores the challenges companies face when entering the U.S. market, including employment compliance, startup costs, hiring, cultural differences, and the time required to establish a local sales operation. It also compares four common market entry strategies:

  • Establishing a U.S. entity
  • Working with a distributor or reseller
  • Using an Employer of Record (EOR) or PEO
  • Partnering with an outsourced sales provider like Sales Focus

“For international companies, entering the U.S. market is about much more than establishing a legal presence,” said Horwath. “You still need the right people, strategy, and infrastructure to actually generate revenue. We created this white paper to help business leaders understand their options and determine which approach makes the most sense for their goals.”

Companies outside the United States have more ways to enter the U.S. market than ever, and more ways to lose time doing it. A March 2026 CSC survey of 300 executives found that 45 percent planned to form a U.S. entity within 12 months. In the same survey, 88 percent rated federal and state tax reporting as the most burdensome compliance requirement. The white paper notes that a foreign-owned company typically needs about six to twelve weeks to reach a first payroll. That is before a single salesperson is recruited.

The white paper also introduces LaunchUSA, Sales Focus’ international sales outsourcing solution for companies seeking to enter the U.S. market. Through LaunchUSA, Sales Focus recruits, employs, trains, and manages U.S.-based sales teams on behalf of international clients without requiring the client to first establish a U.S. entity. Sales Focus commits to recruiting and hiring the team with confirmed start dates within 45 days or less.
