Context & Preparation
Independent traders should focus their limited time on the best-matched customers and products. Factories entering export markets should first provide the information overseas buyers need to trust them. Established teams should align marketing and sales. Regardless of which category, follow-up is not repeatedly asking if you are interested, but continuously increasing information related to the customer’s current task and translating the dialogue into a recordable, classified and synergistic sales process. Focus operational goals on qualified conversations, quotations and opportunities, rather than activity metrics alone.
