1.3 Keys to Success
There is such high demand and huge growth potential that it is almost impossible to sell Product Category 1 devices. Here are some key elements to keep in mind.
- Contract manufacturing devices is possible provided there is a sufficient stock. Ordering sensitive components requires careful planning. To support long inventory periods, sufficient financing is required.
- Avoid excessively time-consuming questions originating outside of the targeted market. Technology is something everyone is interested. It is important that you sort through all the inquiries and only respond to those that fit within your sales and marketing parameters. This includes requests for between 100-1000 units and high-end sophisticated equipment.
- Build a reputation for high-quality reliability by moving quickly. The market need for Product Category 1 devices is potentially so large that more competitors can be expected. It will be difficult to establish an image in the future.
