What does CONCRETEWISE Africa look for in an Authorised Distributor?

1. The most successful distributors are somewhat knowledgeable with the products and systems.

2. Most have experience in both project management and of sales and marketing.

3. Distributors need a good understanding of shipping practices, inventory of materials, material-handling and staff, which are almost essential.

4. As with any business venture, there is always an initial investment required. The amount needed to invest is not fixed as it is subject to the size of the market and the planned initial scale of the operation.

Listed below are some of our requirements and benefits of becoming an Authorized CONCRETEWISE Africa Distributor:

• Maintain a +/- 120 – 120 sq/m warehouse, with an office included, to do business and hold monthly basic trainings.
• Hold 2-Day Trainings Seminars monthly to continue to build your customer base. We will greatly assist you in marketing and advertising to obtain attendees. Because you will charge some of the people that attend your classes, you will find that the training fee should cover most of your training expenses as well as offset most of your overheads (warehouse lease, telephone, etc.).
• Depending on the range that you will be carrying, you would need to attend our training seminars applicable to those products, which could include both the 2-Day Contractors Course, as well as the 3-Day Professional Course, 2-Day Custom Concrete Countertop and 2-Day Handcrafted Tombstone courses in Johannesburg, to learn how training seminars should be held.

• Maintain a determined amount of products for local installers to pick up and for the further establishment of local contractors / customers.
• Exhibit at local Trade Shows to market the product and the Business Opportunities, to fill your training classes and build your client base.
• We will assist you continuously with marketing advice to continue to grow your business.
• We advertise and market internationally, specifically to get people interested in the business.
• 100% of leads generated from a specific area, will be passed onto the Authorized Distributor, to whom that area has been allocated.
• We will exhibit at a number of national and international trade shows. Again, these leads are given to specific distributors.
• CONCRETEWISE Africa products must be the exclusive line of Decorative Concrete products stocked.

Obviously our main goal is to increase sales, through offering a real business opportunity. Unlike other companies, our distributors are real distributors, offering training, technical support and business development, not just contractors that purchased a big order and got a discount. Distributors are the backbone of a business trading nationally and internationally, and therefore receive our full support & loyalty.
