Question Hi Eric
I am considering taking on a new client and would appreciate any color you can add to my current picture.
They are a french company which is a supplier of data for the telecom industry, which sells worldwide. Although their data covers about 95% of the worlds GDP, they have most of their focus on Europe, Africa and the Middle East. I will be more than happy to send you a link to their webpage in a private email later, if requested.
As my occupation is international marketing and business development, it seems there may be a good possibility for cooperation as there are many tools in my arsenal whereupon I can create exposure through direct advertising, magazine exposure (PR,etc), JV efforts, etc etc.
Within the next several weeks there will be discussions taking place between myself and the prospective client about where to target, how to target, etc etc.
Ideally it may be a good idea to get an opinion from a neutral third party (ie Mr Miller) about your thoughts regarding the marketability of such a service here in the States.
If this is something you feel disconnected to and feel you would rather not be able to write out relevant information, I thank you for your time reading this however if this is not the case....
How do you feel about the market for telecom data services? as an example ->(overcrowded, under served, lack of a market leader, overly dominated by a certain company [regionally, within certain fields, etc])
Do you have any opinions about prevailing trends within the industry within an international scale?
Do you feel there are more efficient opportunities through a specific method, such as a joint venture, etc.?
Anyhow I appreciate any time you take to consider my post and am available to send you more information about the company at your request.
Kindly
Matt
