A single poor decision, like choosing the wrong market, can set off a chain reaction that leads to underfunded localization and ultimately low conversion rates. I&apos;ve seen this firsthand with a major US brand that struggled for a decade due to a lack of a solid commercial foundation before ultimately pulling out. It&apos;s crucial to get the setup right from the start to avoid these pitfalls. I encourage you to reflect on our current strategies and ensure we are laying the right groundwork for our international efforts.</description></oembed>
