This business was started by my father and with his efforts we have anr Existing client base which gives us consistent business. A few of our existing customers are sugarmills, earthmoving rental companies, Road transport Companies and similar ones .
I joined the business more than a year ago and wish to increase sales further and grow in size/ profits.
The difficulties being faced are.
1) There are lot of similar products in market.
2) A lot of customers have Outsourced Maintenance operations as Annual Maintenance Contracts-- These contractors want to get the job done by keeping costs as low as possible and don’t prefer buying expensive, technical products we offer.
I need your suggestions on how to:
1) Increase present customer base. / Generate New Leads
2) Generate Enquiries from new customers
2) Find a unique Industrial product /ideas which can bring in considerable profits.
This forum has always given me great ideas to think of , awaiting a similar experience.
Thanks
Sanjay
