# Cross-border Market Entry Strategist

## Overview

Systematic market selection and entry strategy for cross-border e-commerce expansion. Evaluates multiple international markets using a multi-factor scoring model, generates phased entry roadmaps based on timeline and budget, and produces implementation checklists with market-specific requirements. This is a pure descriptive skill providing frameworks, templates, and analysis. No code execution, API calls, network requests, or real-time data.

## Trigger Keywords

## Workflow

2. Analyze markets — Score and rank target markets using multi-factor assessment (purchasing power, logistics, regulatory, competition)
3. Build strategy — Generate phased entry framework based on timeline (short/medium/long)
4. Create checklist — Produce implementation checklist with market-specific items (VAT, compliance, logistics, payments)
5. Identify risks — Outline risk mitigation across regulatory, operational, and market dimensions
