Yesterday I attended a meeting with about 50 women business owners and we were describing what our businesses do. Usually, I focus on Michigan Global Trade, LLC’s global resources, including Chinese factories, sourcing team, quality control and logistics oversight, but my group did not understand what we do. What an eye opener!
I looked at them and said, “I can find or make anything you want.” and they got it. Then they commented, you do custom development? I said “Sure, we do. We can work with you to design and make what you want too.”
Then they asked what makes us different. Again, I explained the global teams, factories, etc…and they did not get it. I responded quickly with, “We make it easy to work with us, we take care of communication with China when everyone else is sleeping, manage any language barriers and operate as a US Company with US rules.” They got it.
Now, in reality, we use our sourcing team to find the highest quality and lowest cost supplier to meet your spec, which may include manufacturing your custom product in our factories. We operate US business hours for clients and get answers for you using the world clock. We aim to provide an easy to manage, cost-effective and valuable service as part your supply chain.
Big lesson learned here. I made it confusing for customers–when actually it’s quite simple–see if you agree!
Contact us to learn how we can find (almost) anything you want or need made. Looking forward to speaking with you.
Till next time.
