LinkedIn to Get U.S. Clients: 5 Mistakes by European Entrepreneurs
03 Apr 2024
00:17:44
European entrepreneurs often struggle to optimize their LinkedIn profiles for the US market due to cultural differences and language barriers. To attract American clients, it is important to have a headline that communicates value, a compelling and personal summary, and an experience section that highlights accomplishments. Avoid using technical jargon and acronyms that may not be familiar to American prospects. Additionally, social proof in the form of recommendations and endorsements is highly valued in American business culture. By making these simple adjustments, European entrepreneurs can transform their LinkedIn profiles into client magnets for the US market.
Takeaways
Optimizing a LinkedIn profile for the US market requires understanding cultural differences and language barriers.
Headlines should communicate value and use action verbs and quantifiable results.
Summaries should be personal, conversational, and highlight specific achievements.
Experience sections should focus on accomplishments and quantify success with numbers and results.
Avoid using technical jargon and acronyms that may not be familiar to American prospects.
Social proof in the form of recommendations and endorsements is highly valued in American business culture.

Comment Waga Energy a percé aux USA : La vraie histoire
19 Nov 2025
00:55:49
Aujourd’hui, je reçois deux poids lourds de la cleantech française : Mathieu Lefebvre, cofondateur et directeur général de Waga Energy, et Guenaël Prince, CEO de la filiale US.
Dans cet épisode du podcast The TransAtlantic Entrepreneur, on plonge dans les coulisses d’une vraie success story française qui a réussi à s’implanter durablement sur le marché américain, dans un secteur ultra exigeant : le gaz renouvelable produit à partir des décharges (RNG, biométhane, landfill gas).
Avec Mathieu et Guenaël, on parle très concrètement de comment une PME française passe de Grenoble à des projets d’infrastructure aux États-Unis : levées de fonds, proof of concept, adaptation du produit à un marché 10 à 30 fois plus gros, contraintes réglementaires américaines, recrutement des bons profils locaux, différence de culture business entre la France et les États-Unis… et surtout, comment gagner la confiance d’acteurs publics et privés américains sur des contrats de 20 ans.
Si vous êtes fondateur, dirigeant ou responsable développement international d’une entreprise française qui vise le marché américain, cet épisode est un concentré de retours d’expérience concrets – loin des discours théoriques.
Dans cet épisode, on voit notamment : – Comment est née Waga Energy à partir d’un problème identifié aux États-Unis
– Pourquoi le marché américain était stratégique dès la création de l’entreprise
– Les étapes avant de se lancer aux USA (marché domestique, preuve technologique, levées de fonds)
– Comment ils ont choisi la ville d’implantation de la filiale américaine
– Comment adapter un produit industriel au marché US (taille des décharges, normes, air regulation…)
– Comment ils ont décroché leur premier gros projet aux États-Unis (appel d’offres publics, références, due diligence)
– L’importance des associations professionnelles et des réseaux industriels (RNG, déchets, énergie)
– Ce qui fait vraiment la différence pour convaincre un client américain : profit, crédibilité, exécution
Mots-clés / thématiques abordées : Waga Energy, success story française, marché américain, expansion USA, gaz renouvelable, biométhane, landfill gas, RNG, cleantech, transition énergétique, décarbonation, industrie des déchets, énergie, développement international, business development USA, différences culturelles France / États-Unis, confiance client, appels d’offres publics, levées de fonds, filiale américaine, associations professionnelles, stratégie long terme.

In this conversation, Tristan discusses his experience of doing business in the US, specifically in the field of methane emission monitoring.
He highlights the differences between the government and commercial time frames and the importance of having a US citizen as a partner to bridge the cultural and regulatory gaps.
Tristan also emphasizes the significance of building trust with American clients and the role of validation from regulators and the scientific community. He shares that meeting NASA and other industry experts happened naturally through workshops and networking.

In this solo episode, I discuss how European service providers can attract and retain American clients, even without a physical presence in the US.
The main challenges include fear of wasting time and resources, lack of a strong professional presence in English, inadequate personalization, and cultural and language differences.
The strategies to overcome these challenges include tailoring outreach strategies to American expectations, optimizing online presence for American clients, and minding cultural and language considerations.
Not to mention one of my favorite points: the importance of clear and concise communication, showcasing success stories, and adapting to American business culture.

Many European entrepreneurs struggle to attract American clients because they assume a one-size-fits-all approach will work.
However, there are significant cultural differences between Europe and the USA, and the US market is unique. To overcome these challenges, entrepreneurs should conduct deep dive research on the American market, tailor their communication to be clear and concise, and focus on building trust and relationships.
Examples of successful strategies include adapting to asynchronous learning solutions, highlighting the value proposition of products or services, and revamping LinkedIn profiles.
By understanding the differences and taking the right approach, European entrepreneurs can succeed in the US market.

Most tech CEOs fail when expanding globally, not because of their product, but because they don’t know how to sell it.
In this episode, Jérôme Gilleron reveals the biggest mistakes European tech founders make when scaling to the U.S. and what it really takes to become a global leader. If you think your product will sell itself, think again.
Jerome is a tech influencer and tech startup growth coach. He’s also an expert at turning European tech CEOs into global giants, by scaling their deeptech & climate tech startups.
And since we’re both passionate about boosting European founders, we had an 80-minute conversation about European tech CEOs expanding into the U.S.
Watch now to learn how to position yourself for success in the U.S. market.

Are you underselling yourself? American clients want confidence. I’ll show you how to pitch with certainty and win more deals.
If you’ve ever wondered why your pitch isn’t landing with American clients, I want to give you some insights. I’ve helped dozens of European entrepreneurs refine their pitch and I can tell you, I’ve seen some BAD pitches.
But we’ve also reworked their approach so they can do things like land 8-figure contracts with American airports or get a 36x return on investment on the coaching they bought with me to fix their pitch.
In other words, this stuff can make a huge difference in the success of your efforts.
So I want to show you why the way you pitch matters—and how adapting your approach to American cultural expectations can be the key to unlocking success in the US market.

In this episode, I want to talk about the importance of stepping back and re-evaluating how you organize your work, especially if you're trying to grow your business and get more clients.
A few weeks ago, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsatisfied with the way I was spending my days. So this week, I sat down to redesign my work organization.
Keywords
work organization, business growth, clients, goals, ideal repeatable week
Takeaways
Summer is a good time to re-evaluate and redesign your work organization.
Feeling overwhelmed and unsatisfied with your progress is a sign that you need to make changes.
Designing an ideal repeatable week can help prioritize important but not urgent tasks.
Setting limits and boundaries for yourself is crucial for achieving big goals.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Join me on May 20 for a free masterclass "How to answer 'What do you do?' with a Game-Changing Social Pitch"
We'll revamp your social introduction, to create a powerful, memorable answer to "What do you do?" that gets people to say "Wow, that's impressive!" instead of "Interesting... So how long have you been doing that?"
---------------------------------- There are two types of pitches that every entrepreneur needs to master: 1. the social pitch 2. the planned pitch.
The social pitch is designed to spark conversations and make people remember you. It should focus on your why, be clear and concise, and spark curiosity.
The planned pitch is longer and aims to get your audience to take a specific action. It should include elements of clarity, authority, problem, solution, why, opportunity, next steps, and leave an emotional impact.
These are especially important when going into the US market, when business needs to be fast and to the point. If you drown your listener in technical details, you will lose the deal.
Mastering these pitches, and you'll be able to persuade more people to do business with you, more easily.

23 Apr 2025

In this episode of the TransAtlantic Entrepreneur Podcast, I sit down with Stéphanie Liot, Project Manager at La Maison de l’Occitanie in New York City.
We talk about the common traps French and European entrepreneurs fall into when trying to crack the U.S. market, from underestimating cultural differences to believing that a translated pitch is enough.

You’ll learn: ✅ Why Americans hire based on fit more than CV ✅ What New York networking is really like (and how to survive it) ✅ How to make your pitch resonate with U.S. clients and investors ✅ Why culture isn’t “soft”. It’s a competitive edge

Are you underselling yourself? American clients want confidence. I’ll show you how to pitch with certainty and win more deals.
If you’ve ever wondered why your pitch isn’t landing with American clients, I want to give you some insights. I’ve helped dozens of European entrepreneurs refine their pitch and I can tell you, I’ve seen some BAD pitches. But we’ve also reworked their approach so they can do things like land 8-figure contracts with American airports or get a 36x return on investment on the coaching they bought with me to fix their pitch.
In other words, this stuff can make a huge difference in the success of your efforts.
So I want to show you why the way you pitch matters—and how adapting your approach to American cultural expectations can be the key to unlocking success in the US market.

Dans cet épisode du TransAtlantic Entrepreneur, j’accueille Deborah Anne Nilson, avocate américaine et fondatrice du cabinet The Nilson Law Group PLLC à New York, un cabinet bilingue français/anglais spécialisé dans l’accompagnement des entreprises étrangères (notamment françaises) qui s’implantent aux États-Unis.
Avec ses 40 ans d’expérience juridique, Deborah partage avec moi les erreurs les plus coûteuses que font les entreprises françaises aux USA, et surtout comment les éviter.
On parle de contrats américains, de droit du travail, de risques juridiques, mais aussi de culture business et de pragmatisme américain.
Au programme :
Pourquoi le droit américain est plus complexe qu’en France (fédéral + 50 États)
Les différences clés entre les contrats français et américains : responsabilité, indemnisation, propriété intellectuelle, clauses “boilerplate”
Le droit du travail en Californie : protections fortes pour les salariés, coûts cachés et erreurs à ne pas faire
Pourquoi traduire un contrat français ne suffit pas
Les bonnes pratiques pour limiter les risques : arbitrage, transaction, assurances
La conformité ADA pour les sites web américains (et pourquoi vous pouvez être attaqué sans le savoir)
Les écarts culturels entre la France et les États-Unis : réactivité, “business is business”, gestion du risque
Et une success story incroyable : une marque française passée de 0 à 200 millions de dollars en 5 ans grâce à une implantation réussie aux États-Unis
