Questions posed by the interview: COmmercialise New Hi-Tech Products

  • You may have identified a real point of pain, but who owns this pain? If the two are not aligned, expect problems. This means that it is important to find niches where the pain and gain sit with the same company.
  • How well do you understand the internal business processes of your prospects and customers? Furthermore, which factors carry the most weight, who influences the buying decision and, most importantly, who has the final say?
  • Digital marketing can be a very effective method of generating leads, but what processes are you using to convert leads? Do note the use of video conferencing to overcome distance from prospects.
