Business site

Re: [spiers] Business site

I have a antipathy to trade lead websites, which I developed way back when trade
leads lists
were compiled by US Commercial attaches world wide and published and republished
in
various places.

They tend to be people with no production capacity talking to people with no
customers, and
vice versa.

The first rate companies, the ones we want to do business with, tend to avoid
the trade lead
lists since it just brings in the wrong crowd, and ties up valuable managerial
time on people
who are not going to do any business anyway.

On the other hand, the research means I lay out takes you straight to the first
rate
companies, who in turn require you do first rate work if you wish to proceed
with the first
rate. Of course, your new items are first rate, since they were designed in
conjunction with
first rate retailers.

The world is a village, each market segment of each industry is a club where
everyone knows
everyone. Your initiation fee is to answer question #1, "what is new?" This is
normally,
usually something marginal. Your dues are to keep coming up with new.

Part of your job is to track down the best place in the world... Alibaba cannot
be the means,
given its proposition.
