We all remember the song “The Best” originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler but made famous by Tina Turner in 1989: You’re simply the best Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I ever met Sure, to be the best is what we want to hear
Entering new markets (customer segments or geographical) is not easy and requires preparation. Here’s our thoughts about the German market specifics.

Let’s talk frankly for a second about Germany. Yes, they should have been the World Cup favorites and gotten at least to the semis — heck, they won the whole thing in 2014 — and they didn’t get out of the group stage for the first time since, well, 1950
