Austria

Sales and marketing of Turkish-originated marble and granites in Austria.Success: Smaller natural stone companies in Austria couldn't afford Turkish stones, they needed smaller amounts but import/transport costs were too high for these amounts. My idea was to find enough smaller companies and collaborate, to be able to order one full container of stones at a time. It showed to be lucrative for all parts and our company grew %500 in 3 years.
