Drug is an illegal business but at every time, people still sell drugs and the truth remains that they make a lot of money from doing this business. The fact that the business is illegal does not mean that there are not a few useful business tips to learn from it. I watched in a movie about drug and I also saw in a few documentaries about drugs and then I realize that one thing that drug dealers are concerned about is quality.
Produce quality Products
If the same ways drug dealers are very concerned about quality is the same way business people are concerned about quality, it would have been a good reason for growth. When drug dealers are about to do business, they first confirm if it is the stuff, then they check if it is quality. they have their own way of doing their quality control on the spot but for business people, a lot of people do not bother about producing quality products because they want to make profit very fast but in the process of accumulating funds over producing the deal, their competitors take over their market thereby producing a better version of their product. If your product is the best in the market, customers will use your products either it is expensive or cheap.
Person to Person Marketing
Drug dealers do not do online advertising or on-air advertising but they get their customers from other customers who refer or talk about a good deal and a good drug. A lot of businesses usually neglect the organic method of marketing. When your customers are satisfied, they do the marketing for you. They tell the world that they got a very good product from someone and then they do the referral. People are more liable to buy goods based on the referral from friends and family rather than from advertisings online. If your business is bad, negative news will spread really fast from one person to another so why not utilize the same practice to a good product and enjoy the benefit.
Keep them coming
Keeping business active means keeping customers coming all the time and to do this, there are several things to consider like giving them free sample products and requesting to pay for premium, give outstanding services and so on.
Control Supply
One thing that drug dealers do is they make sure that their products are not too much in supply, they control where their drugs go to, the dealers that handle each level of sales and so on. Wit this, they are able to maximize profit by keeping demand high. If this can be done the same way to regular business, it would help improve profit.
I like your way of expressing things !! greetings pablo escobar Great post
