The language of Business in Mexico

A recent random and admittedly unofficial survey of principals involved in trade with Mexico found that approximately 60% of  business partners  had a good working knowledge of English. English is, after all the language of international trade so some facility is to be expected and is welcome.

Real success is however dependant on speaking more than English and even more than the local language. A different means a  different culture even in our age of globalization. Since understanding subtleties of culture and context aren’t functions of translation programs be sure to choose agents and contractors who will help you navigate this robust market. The right words and the right ways can improve your experience and outcome.
