The Trust Network (TTN) About

To repeat the truth highlighted above that gave rise to the establishment of TTN:

the same product, pricing, marketing and support can produce vastly different levels of business in a country depending upon: a) who is handling the distribution; b) the method of distribution used.

There is no “middle-man” between you and your distributors.

You have an absolutely direct relationship with them. This is important to the distributors – and to you.

Your product stays internationally price competitive.

No fixed overhead. Bring TTN in and out as your priorities, cash flow and production capacity determine.

Your sales people stay fully engaged hitting current sales budgets while TTN does the time-consuming work of establishing quality distribution in a new country. When it is opened, your sales people then integrate this new market into their normal work.

Your brand enters the market handled by a highly motivated operation that has committed to significant inventory and marketing investments to build their business on your products.

This experience demonstrated an important truth: *the same product, pricing, marketing and support can produce vastly different levels of business in a country depending upon: a) who is handling the distribution; b) the method of distribution used.* At Celestion International for example, despite the mature, well-developed nature of its Export Division, dramatic growth of over 250% was achieved over a mere 18 months by focused attention on the WHO and the HOW of the distribution At Casio Electronics growth of over 775% was created over a sustained four year period, again by close attention to the people and methods involved in the distribution. THE PHILOSOPHY Connecting brands that have unique things to say with importers who are skilled marketeers, are expert in the brand’s sector, have no conflicts of interest and for whom the product can be a vehicle for them reaching their corporate ambitions, is to release a tremendous dynamic of mutual commitment. Coupling that with the right method of distribution and you have a recipe for strong brand building and sales growth. THE TOOLS The Trust Network brings together this experience and proven performance with one of the most comprehensive databases on the international distribution channels in the M.I. and Pro Audio markets. This is a bespoke database, built over the Company’s 14-year history. It is designed specifically for the work of tracking and recording distribution developments in the global markets of M.I. and Pro Audio. This precision tool is used to great effect in the hands of the skilled TTN team, creating quality distribution solutions for our clients. The Company also maintains an extensive library of relevant published material. This includes latest editions of leading industry magazines from around the world, directories, market reports, reference data and other information vital for delivering a well-informed service to our clients. THE CLIENTS TTN works with small and medium sized manufacturers, sometimes very early on in their international adventures. Past clients who have engaged our services at this point in their history are today respected and established brands the world over. TTN has even had its input at such a key period in the life of dynamic companies publicly praised and acknowledged years later. See AER Press Release. TTN also works with some of the most established and best known brands in the industry. They too have recorded their regard for TTN’s results in a long list of enthusiastic endorsements. Big or small, the same questions of WHO and HOW are of major concern to all companies seeking good export business. TTN finds solutions to these. THE R.O.I. (Return On Investment) Clients can recover their investment in TTN from their first shipment – which TTN secures. After that, all profits on their future business in the new market go only to the Client firm. THE U.S.Ps. (Unique Selling Points) To repeat the truth highlighted above that gave rise to the establishment of TTN: *the same product, pricing, marketing and support can produce vastly different levels of business in a country depending upon: a) who is handling the distribution; b) the method of distribution used.* With The Trust Network’s approach, time is invested to find importers with strategies and ambitions that are right for your brand and with the right methods for distributing it. All your investments in bringing your product to market and supporting it are plugged into quality distribution solutions that can deliver the level of sales it is really capable of.
