Introduction: From Chaos to Clarity

Export sales can feel overwhelming—finding buyers, qualifying leads, sending quotes, and negotiating deals. The challenge is how to handle scale without losing trust.

The answer lies in creating an AI-powered workflow. With AI Agents, exporters gain speed, structure, and reliability. With Sales Agents and Salesman Agents, they keep strategy and human trust intact.

Backed by insights from the World Trade Organization (WTO), Google AI, and the OECD AI Policy Observatory, this guide outlines 6 steps to building an AI-powered export sales workflow.

Step 2: Qualify Buyers with Data
