One of John’s Citibank clients’ is a dairy company. They traditionally sold dairy products domestically. In 2009, this clients’ revenue was off 55% and falling. They knew that they needed to find new markets. The Citibank Relationship Manager called John to meet with the client, because of John’s International experience. John put them in touch with an agent, and provided counsel on mitigating risk when selling into foreign markets. This client is currently selling products in 23 countries around the world, and their international sales are dwarfing their domestic sales.
Direct mail is the best marketing study tool. It's the supreme strategy to reach new clients, as you may know, and it's also comparatively inexpensive.
