Is it easy to be an agent for Lancôme imported cosmetics? What are the key points to note?
Solved#Import agent#
I've always been very interested in the cosmetics industry. Recently, I'm thinking about becoming an agent for Lancôme imported cosmetics. I'd like to ask everyone how it is to be a Lancôme agent? This brand has a high reputation, and it seems that the customer base should be quite wide, but I'm also worried that the competition is too fierce or there might be some pitfalls in the agency policies. Are there any friends who have been Lancôme agents? Could you share your experiences? What are the things that need to be particularly noted during the agency process?
