Retail X Manufacturing | Expanding Horizons from 📍Shenzhen 🇨🇳 & Beyond

[Roman Khan @RomanEcom]

This was the most fun I've had in a long time.
I think I'll do a lot more of these.

Some things I learned:

- There are a lot of successful people out there doing $400 - $500M+++ revenue who are just quietly crushing it

- I want to bring 100+ eCom founders to HK (I think I convinced 6-7 people to move already). Life is very boring if you're not crushing it with other entrepreneurs

- @MentorPass gives me the most joy. Having a bunch of young kids that call you for advice is pretty amazing and being able to expose to $400M giants early in their journey makes a world of difference

What people think e-comm is:
- Fancy website
- List products
- Compete on price

What e-comm actually is:
- Data analytics
- Building a brand
- Market research

[Ali Kaaba🌍🇨🇳 @AliPetrabrands]

There’s a love and hate relationship between E com and me. 

It’s a fast-moving business.

It feels like a rat race.

I don’t have days off.

But… I’m my own boss.

And I wouldn’t trade this freedom for anything.

[Ali Kaaba🌍🇨🇳 @AliPetrabrands]

Never skip networking.

Especially when venturing into a complex landscape like China’s.

Approach it with purpose, patience and skill.

And It’ll open doors to many big opportunities.

[Ali Kaaba🌍🇨🇳 @AliPetrabrands]

Cracking the China market is no small task.

But the right partnerships can be your golden key.

Here's how to forge those invaluable connections:

7) Nurture relationships

Check-in with your customer.

Make them feel like a priority. 

- Keep in touch regularly.
- Offer support when needed.
- Find opportunities for collaboration.

More trust = More sales.
