We all are fully aware of the international dimension of Tripleclicks, its potential for reaching customers in every country. This potential should not be overlooked.
However, some new ECAs may not have the experience in servicing customers abroad. Shipping issues may be a major obstacle. In Third World countries, such as in Africa, there are not always shipping agents capable of ensuring timely and effective delivery of goods. It is only understandable that ECAs may, first, want to focus on local customers.
Another reason of your question may also be because of objections you encountered in your prospecting efforts to enroll ECAs. They may have objected to you on the ground that they prefer to focus on generating local sales, not fully knowing the tastes and buying motives of customers in other countries.
All the above should motivate you to pursue your efforts in enrolling ECAs, as the potential is real, and the reward of success is highly worthwhile.
Many small businesses do not always have an online presence. They do not have fully operational, customer friendly websites. TripleClicks may be their best option. It can provide such ECAS with a great online presence at minimal costs. It also makes advertising much easier.
The use of smartphones is now widespread, especially in Third World countries, including Africa, where Internet access is not always reliable. You should explain to your ECA prospects that SFI and TripleClicks offer apps that will facilitate and make easier doing business online. Both local businesses and local customers will interact much easier by smartphones.
As your ECAs gain experience selling online to local customers, they should start exploring the wider international market. A first step might be reaching to neighboring cities, and countries. As they feel stronger and stronger, they will feel confident about going much further to extend their their clientele base from local to national and international.
