Only by acting quickly, doing it immediately, and knowing and doing things earlier than your competitors can you have a chance at success. Because the 21st century is the information age, where information travels instantly, making distant places seem near and yesterday's far-off events today's immediate reality.

蔡海彬How to Make Distributors Willingly Invest Resources in Market Development?
For manufacturer sales representatives, one of the tricks to get distributors to spend money is 'big benchmark, on-site meeting, and leveraging integrated resources'!
