The market
Selling in France: what to expect
Four realities to factor in before approaching French buyers.
01
French first
Prospects expect to be approached in French, with arguments adapted to their sector. English-only outreach rarely gets the same attention.
02
Paris and the regions
Head offices concentrate in the Paris region, but many operational decisions are taken at site level across the country.
03
Layered decisions
Purchasing often involves several approval levels. Knowing who to meet, and when, shortens the cycle.
04
GDPR framework
B2B outreach in France follows the GDPR and guidance from the CNIL, the French data protection authority.
Method
Four steps, one clear framework
01
Scoping

02
Targeting

03
