High Street Dreams
May 18, 2010After finishing work yesterday evening, I turned on the TV for half an hour, and in the event caught the second half of the BBC’s High Street Dreams, a program based around two successful business people mentoring start ups.
Jo Malone made an excellent comment to two business partners before their pitch to the MD of a national toy retailer.
Immediately before their meeting she told them that retailers are interested in the long term future of their suppliers (and products) rather than keen to chase a one off sale.
How true is this for so many different businesses, in so many different sectors?
It’s short & simple, which is probably why this a great piece of sales advice to remember as head into your next sales meeting.
