Need help for marketing and sales

3 replies
Hi everyone,

I am a student here in Montreal. My family owns a garment factory back in my country. Lately, i have taken a close look at the family business and it happens to deal with canadian importer/distributors. Few supplier here in Montreal order for companies like Rona, STM, and few other large corporations and make their uniforms like t-shirts, polos, shirts etc. by us. I will finish my last semester this month. Therefore, I would like to know if anyone could guide/help me in how to get startef and ESPECIALLY with the marketing plan. So overall i want to get my import license and directly sell the products to end users or large companies. How do i start marketing plan to get the clients?

Thanks in advance for your help friends!

    At the top of this forum you will notice a red bar that has several menu items, the first of which is 'Users CP' - this stands for user control panel. So what I want you to do is count over 7 menu items from 'Users CP' and you will see a menu item entitled 'Search'. Click on this and it will give you an input box. This is where you can find the information you need. I'de suggest starting with 'Marketing Plan'.

    Okay, so after you have done that for a while and at least have a vague idea of how to execute your plan then you should come back and ask for help.

    Good luck with your studies!

    You would probably need to find out what your competition does and what is the general way of doing business in your field and then it's all about making phone calls to companies and offering your services. You will probably have to be very creative cause the bigger the company, the harder it is to get to someone that makes decisions and can actually talk to you.

    For example, i get about 10 calls per day of companies trying to sell me stuff. It's very hard for them to get me to listen to what they say and hear anything but "i'm not interested, thank you".
