“The ten-fold growth strategy will not be achieved if we continue with the same quality of products currently in the market. Always seek feedback from customers, as you are not building the product for yourself. It's essential to understand their persona, preferences, purchasing power, and more before exporting.” - Derrick Waiswa, @TBNetworkEA #Exports #Customers

“Never assume a market. Successful businesses grow because they are deliberate about the markets they serve. Understanding your target market, its needs, and how to position your product or service is what drives sustainable growth.” Mr. Derrick Waiswa, COO @TBNetworkEA , further digests understanding international customers.
