How to Sell to Laser Entertainment Businesses

Like many of us, laser entertainment business business owners are have no patience for extended pitches and sales cycles. As a rule, be respectful of your customers' time constraints and adjust your pitches to accommodate their schedules.

The first step in selling to laser entertainment businesses is to take a broad approach to the marketplace. Strategies that are isolated to the local market are not likely to succeed in an environment that is becoming increasingly reliant on e-commerce and other long distance marketing channels.

Although a geographic concentration may be a useful strategy for new sellers, you will eventually need to broaden your focus to include prospects outside of your initial range. You can also broaden your prospect base by expanding your product line or by creating strategic partnerships with suppliers of complementary goods.
