Sales Strategy
Based on their own strategic goals our customers have already decided to grow in export territories. To enable successful market entry we tailor a sales strategy based on the findings of the market analysis or alternatively any other analysis that has been obtained from other sources.
Close communication with our customers, consideration of customer specifics and requirements are important facts for us to develop a joint approach that is not for the files but a sound basis for future success. Each suggestion has to stand the feasibility test. However, for any export strategy long term commitment is inevitable.
