Why are selling products a win? Cheryl and Liz delve into the balance between selling design services and products and unveil key strategies for successful navigation of the procurement process. Selling product is not for the faint of heart - you will face challenges in managing inventory, shipping and managing vendor relationships but is worth it in the long run.
And here is the biggest win of all---Creating a dynamic where "the price is the price". We rarely have issues with pricing. In fact we never have issues with pricing-- because we create the win for the client too. This is the biggest secret of a business like yours and ours---making the process a win for all involved.
