| Résumé : |
In the sales process, the buyer is looking for a supply of products or services and the seller either has those or does not. In the case of motivated buyers, they will usually find the product/service they are looking for and will rapidly move to close or will need additional information from the seller.
The time it takes to innovate new features into leather is lengthy and the development window will range from a few weeks to often years, but the market need is for development time to be as short as possible. Tanneries that are focused on fashion¬oriented leathers will be expected to innovate rapidly on a development cycle that means the texture, colour and features will often need to be altered every six months:
- Spring/Summer
- Autumn (Fall) /Winter.
The fashion houses are currently expecting a tannery to be working on fashion forecasts 18 months in advance. At the time of writing (Summer 2022), tanneries will be working on leathers that will meet the requirements of Autumn/Winter 2023 with an eye on Spring/Summer 2024. A slow prototyping cycle means that some tanneries could not even dream of entering this high-paced world because they do not have the irmovative skillsets or would not even have the budgets.
Some market segments do not have such a high-paced development cycle and tend to have one range per year, or the development cycles are dependent on the launch of a new model of car (which could be 24-48 months). Other tanneries may only be interested in more practical considerations for developments - the research, development or innovation of a new leather is dependent on criteria that arise because a segment has said to make changes or lose the business. |
