A lot of the conversation here revolves around pays in USD in a US/EU market, I'm curious to understand if anyone has resources for working out of Asia as well as Oceania?

I have sold into both the US and Aus / NZ.
Selling into the US is a much better experience beyond the $$$. Like it or not, Americans are used to being advertised and 'sold' to from a young age much more than Oceania, and also have a greater risk tolerance that leads to them being more willing to 'take a punt' as opposed to Oceania, where everything has to go through a six month strategic vetting across the entire org. In the US, C-levels are comfortable making Executive purchases that may flop or sit on the shelf.
Would not sell to Oceania unless it was my only option. No idea how Asia works.

With experience selling to (or trying to sell to) APAC offices/countries (Japan/China/sk/ etc) You need three things to win; a big established brand, patience, and a local presence to interact via the exact same business culture
You’re talking about folks who create 100/200/500 year plans for their businesses, ultra-conservative approaches to growth, and a verrryyyy strict pecking order.
Goodluck

Good question. Following 👀
Are you looking for data in specific countries? or just the APAC region as a whole?
The whole region would be a staring point
