Anyone sell into a specific market and sometimes feel like they are running out of companies?

Question

We sell into the retail industry in the UK/Ireland & sometimes America. We have a very specific criteria for it to work and once you go through the big retailers and work your way down, I find it takes longer and longer to actually find companies that are worthwhile contacting.

Does anyone else have experience in niche, specific sales where this has happened?

Accepted Answer

I have the same feeling. I have around 400 possible targets. But a lot of them do not need our ‘solution’ yet.

Answer

Are you asking for commission for deals that came in while you were on furlough? Or to continue this agreement now that you're back?
