Hey, here are some thoughts that might be important regarding macroeconomic take on the topic.

1. Digitalization - minimal cost, global reach, problem = local regulations (China is a big market, but very limited access to non-controlled internet. Virtually you will have to do marketing through local agency).

2. ECA (Export Credit Agency) involvement can be beneficial, but you won't be able to get your export covered for a lot of cases (stability of country, risk management, etc.)

3. Government involvement (through Free Trade Agreements, or MTAs, but also trade promotions through International Relationships Departments, incentives, subsidies, or guarantees) - con? Administrative burden and time management (not in your hands)

4. Own initiative, having staff go to meetings (trainings) about SMEs. Problem? A lot. Most of them are not effective (read suck).
