Doing Business in Russia

Political changes, government reforms, a stable economy, vast natural resources and a large population have all led to Russia seeing enormous advances in their foreign trade links. Gaining some basic insight into the Russian mentality, culture and etiquette are key for anyone doing business in Russia.

Meetings / Negotiating

Always be punctual when doing business in Russia. However do not take offense if your Russian counterpart is not. It is not unknown for Russian business people to turn up hours late.

Initial meetings are usually approached as a formality. The best strategy is to appear very firm and dignified, while maintaining an air of warmth and approachability.

Pitches or presentations should be simple and straightforward. Generally Russians are not impressed by foreigners doing business in Russia who use flashy PowerPoint presentations. The most critical element is demonstrating your knowledge, professionalism and expertise.

Many Russian business personnel speak good English so presenting in the language is not a problem.

Negotiations are tough and like to indulge in a fair amount of theatre if necessary. Their main aim is to gain concessions so there will be a lengthy process of grinding you down. Caving in too early is a sign of weakness; stand your ground. Generally speaking, Russians view compromise as a sign of weakness. Don’t be surprised by loss of tempers, walkouts, threats to end the deal, and similar incidents. It’s all part of the fun.
