It is just an example, I have similar stories in other industries. European customers are very conservative, they won't even talk to you if you don't have several references in the same industry. Which is hard, when you are starting up. US customers, on the other hand, are not afraid to try new things and see for themselves, if they help them or not.
That's the reason, why there are products and services, that come from US, are used by Europeans, but only after they were success in US. The willingness to be an early adopter is simply not there.
