Recruiting & Employing Sales Agents
Sales agents acting on the exporter’s behalf will usually visit potential customers for the purpose of taking orders, and will normally command commission to the tune of 10 per cent the cost of goods exported. The exporter subsequently despatches goods and forwards invoices direct to customers.
The main problem confronting the exporter is that of locating professional and reliable sales agents to act on their behalf.
Appointing Sales & Trade Distributors
Distributors undertake services very much akin to those carried out by sales agents, and might additionally maintain stocks of the exporter’s goods. Distributors might sell products through their own already established chains of sales agents and distributors. All goods and services are sent direct to the main distributor.
Setting Up Collaborative Projects & Joint Ventures
Collaboration finds companies in different countries carrying out certain services and providing facilities for exporters abroad, in return for reciprocal representation of their goods and services in other countries.
Trade Shows, Exhibitions & Conferences
One other method of selling direct involves attendance at Trade Shows, Exhibitions & Conferences in the country to which the businessman intends to export. Orders originate by direct approach from customers. Follow up sales and repeat custom usually comes from regular attendance at trade shows.
Even small businesses operating on an international basis should consider taking a stall at any of the many international trade shows held in Africa and abroad. For many exporters it is from attendance at trade shows that the vast majority of business originates.
