It's relatively difficult to develop customers in the early stage of an import equipment agency company. It's not easy to make customers trust you and be willing to purchase equipment through your agency. Moreover, equipment standards vary from country to country, and you need to spend time researching and getting familiar with each standard to better serve customers.
