In your international business development, you have built up your customer database, prospected, recruited your first agents or distributors. Good ! And now, what’s next?
Why hiring a field coach is needed ?
Because your success depends on the animation of your export offer.
Organize the attractiveness of your product offer.
When you have met your contacts for the first time, you must constantly maintain your brand attractiveness and use performance factors with the help of regular information materials and promotions. To do this, you have to juggle between creativity of the media, rhythm of the relationship and control of the results to maintain the impact of your business appeal.
And yes. Men and women are irrational sentient animals. You must encourage impulse buying. Because if a part of our brain is very rational, the other is totally thoughtless. Think about the problems of your customers and play on the feelings that your offer evokes!
Invest in people ! Show yourself ! Have fun !
If you are boring, your customers will avoid you. Do things with passion and enthusiasm. If you push yourself and play hard, your customers will identify themselves. Inspire them! To achieve this, you must prepare yourself properly and do not neglect any detail of your negociations and operations.
An attractive offer is an offer that appeals to the customer, in an atmosphere where he feels good, comfortable and reassured. It is a question of putting him in condition so that its purchase is first of all synonymous with pleasure.
