00:00Hi everyone, so today I spend most of my time doing something not very glamorous, but extremely important when you own a business, cold call.
00:11Yeah, so I was calling pharmacists to introduce myself. For me, it's the first step, making a first contact. Either by phone, I try to get the email, or if I have directly the purchasing person, then I try to talk immediately to that person.
00:35But often, they give you an email, and you have to present yourself as good as you can. And from this step, you have to try to get an appointment. So the goal is to really spark an interest.
00:53But while doing this, I was also thinking about something bigger, exporting. Because at the moment, I only deliver my soap in France. So French shops are selling my soap.
01:09I have different kinds of shops. I have like spa, hotels, pharmacists, I already talked about that. Parfum shop, not Sephora, but very beautiful shop. It's like an independent shop that sells cosmetics and perfume there.
01:36And it's a very beautiful shop. I will one day talk about this owner, because she's very special too. And I also sell on flower shops. And that wasn't something expected, but they are right.
01:56And, you know, you know, when you go to buy flower and nice soap with it, it's a cool thing to offer to your relative, your wife or your mother.
02:05And so, yeah, that's mainly the kind of shop that are selling my soap. And I just live in the border of Switzerland and Germany. So it makes sense, right, to start to do the paperwork to sell on these countries.
02:28So I can perhaps have shop there, too, that sell my soap. I also have an online shop where I deliver the whole country.
02:37And as soon as I will be done with this paperwork, I think I will be able to, from my online shop, deliver also Switzerland and Germany.
02:48Let's see. Let's see how it's going. But, you know, you have to do things step by step. And I'm going to see how to start that.
03:01So that's it for today. And until the next episode, I wish you luck and health. Take care.
