Editor's Notes
- #5 This is a relatively stable market Because of the high entry barrier And competitors are not trying to take over the market share Therefore creates a Competitive coexistence situation.
- #6 Property developer Building owner Owner landlord Construction company manager Construction company purchasing Architect
- #10 Kone managers suggested a higher price when we don‘t have 15% of the market share not the case in Germany 17% increase from Hydraulic price is reasonable for people to pay but not too much that we take too much market share
- #11 But again with the cost savings and energy, time and space a 1% increase is justifiable
- #12 Althought they have a high price, worth it for publicity and convenience
- #17 Otis and Schindler outnumber KONE’s salesforce by 5 to 1 later downsize Give customers a good feeling Commission type salary so cost should pay for itself
- #18 give customers a good feeling Commission type salary so cost should pay for itself
- #19 give customers a good feeling Commission type salary so cost should pay for itself
- #22 Eventually the ads will be in around 25 architecture journals and 12 construction journals Netherlands: 40 – 60 inquiries per ad
