MASTERING MARKET ENTRY: HOW CLOSE ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUR AUDIENCE DRIVES SUCCESS

Getting close to the market is one of the key strategies that has consistently helped me in my work. It allows you to gain a clear, firsthand understanding of the reality on the ground and offers valuable insights into what you're doing right—or where you need to improve.

Recently, I held a meeting with my team to discuss the introduction of our product to the market. One of the most important outcomes was our decision to deploy the team for several days, immersing them deeply in the market. They engaged directly with consumers, observed patterns, and analyzed real-time feedback. This hands-on approach revealed insights we would have never uncovered through traditional methods.

It requires constant adjustment, learning, and persistence—especially when navigating the complexities of the African market.
