# Market Entry Services for Selling in a New Country

Market entry services help a company start doing business in a new country. Switchstack handles the sales part: a dedicated caller who phones businesses in your new market during their working day and books meetings for your team, with no office or local hire needed. Calls start in about 2 weeks, in English or Spanish, and a full-time caller costs $1,499 to $3,099 a month, depending on the caller's country and whether we manage the calling. To sell face to face in Africa or Latin America, full-cycle sales reps cost $3,900 to $4,200 a month. Both run month to month with 30 days' notice.

Prices, third-party fees and calling rules reviewed November 2026.

## What are the ways to start selling in a new country?

No local company needed | Salary and employer costs, plus an EOR fee from $599 a month ([Deel pricing](https://www.deel.com/pricing/), [Remote pricing](https://remote.com/pricing)) | An employment contract. Remote's $599 price is for annual contracts |

## How do you test a new market in 90 days?

1. Week 1: A call about the country, the buyers you want, your offer and what counts as a qualified meeting.
2. Weeks 1 and 2: We check your list against the country's calling rules, then shortlist callers and test them on role-plays with your offer. You approve one.
3. Weeks 3 to 6: Calls start during your buyers' working hours. You hear the recordings and get a weekly report: calls made, conversations and meetings booked.
4. Weeks 7 to 10: We drop the segments that don't answer or don't fit, sharpen the opening line and push harder where meetings come from.
5. Weeks 11 to 13: A review with you: what buyers said, who took meetings and what they asked for. Then you scale, switch countries or stop.

| What you see | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Meetings booked, and deals moving after them | Add callers, or start hiring locally with proof of demand in hand |
| Conversations, but few meetings | Change the offer, the opening line or the job titles you call |
| Meetings, but deals stall on local presence or language | Add a local partner, a rep on the ground or local-language selling |
| Hardly anyone picks up | Fix the list: wrong numbers, wrong titles or the wrong segment |
| Buyers say no for the same reason, again and again | That reason is your market research. Decide whether it can be fixed |

## Entering the US market

US calling rules apply wherever the caller sits: the TCPA covers callers outside the United States when the person called is in the US ([47 U.S.C. 227](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/227)), and the FTC says its Telemarketing Sales Rule covers calls to US consumers from abroad ([FTC](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/complying-telemarketing-sales-rule)). For B2B calls: check personal and mobile numbers against the National Do Not Call Registry, use live callers only, and stop when asked. An SDR employed in the US costs about $6,290 a month with benefits; a dedicated caller from the Philippines, Latin America or India works Eastern or Central hours from $1,499 a month.

## Entering the UK and Europe

UK: live B2B sales calls are legal under PECR, but not to numbers on the TPS or Corporate TPS unless the business agreed ([ICO](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/direct-marketing-and-privacy-and-electronic-communications/business-to-business-marketing/)). Germany: a sales call to a business needs at least presumed consent under section 7 of the UWG ([UWG § 7](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/uwg_2004/__7.html)). Calls are in English, which suits the UK and Ireland and international or English-speaking teams in Germany, Switzerland and the Nordics.

## GCC market entry: UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar

Saudi Arabia and Qatar work Sunday to Thursday; most UAE businesses work Monday to Friday. In the UAE, Cabinet Resolutions 56 and 57 of 2024 allow marketing calls only between 9am and 6pm and ban calls to Do Not Call Registry numbers, with fines up to AED 150,000 ([Mondaq](https://www.mondaq.com/advertising-marketing-branding/1495836/new-telemarketing-regulations-introduced-in-uae)). Arabic is the main business language in Saudi Arabia, so English-speaking callers fit international companies and larger firms. Callers in India and South Africa cover the Gulf day as a day shift. Saudi and Qatari rules lean toward prior consent, so take local legal advice before a large campaign.

## Entering Africa and Latin America

Full-cycle sales reps based in South Africa, Mexico and Colombia find buyers, visit them, take orders, handle after-sales and follow up on payments: $3,900 a month in Africa and $4,200 in Latin America, flat, no commission (https://switchstack.io/outsourced-sales-team). In South Africa, the Information Regulator treats calls as electronic communication under POPIA section 69, so sales calls to non-customers need consent first ([guidance](https://inforegulator.org.za/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/GUIDANCE-NOTE-ON-DIRECT-MARKETING-IN-TERMS-OF-THE-PROTECTION-OF-PERSONAL-INFORMATION-ACT-4-OF-2013-POPIA.pdf)). Callers in Mexico and Colombia call Spanish-speaking Latin America in Spanish or English.
