Sales Agents
The independent sales agent is the natural partner of SA Cogefilog because:
- The secure of the client regulations implies de facto juridical payability of the contractual commissions.
- The agents know very well their parent "multi-brand's" with their possible treasury difficulties, their "sell-out" (stock rotation) that allows determining the "flagship" brands of the warehouse which will be paid before the others.
- SA Cogefilog, thanks to its work with different partners, has different alarm signals for the delays with the registered regulations that allow informing the commercial agent confidentially and effectively.
- For what concerns of its natural retail activity for its administrative and logistic services, SA Cogefilog meets export managers or directors having this or that problem on this or that market. All this understanding and knowing the professionals of the market segment in question to advise effectively the decision maker.
- The experience of De Cogefilog's CEO is precious for what concerns, for example, a European private law commercial dispute between an agent and its principal.
Finally, also if the margins of the "fashion and furniture" value chain narrow down, a "win-win" partnership is possible under certain rate conditions on market sectors defined by Cogefilog and the independent sales agents in Europe.
Testimony of a furniture sales agent
Francis Aaron has been a sales agent in the furniture sector for several years.
He provides his professional advice and experience to his clients who soon have become "friends". He intervenes more often as a consultant to advise his clients about the best product to buy for their trading areas. Representing several realities, often foreign, he always suggests to his principals to use the services of SA Cogefilog for the management of their receivables on the French territory. Through guaranteed credit services (SFAFC policy) and the light management of insured and non-insured clients, Francis Aaron is reassured by work of the Cogefilog professional staff since his commissions, then his professional income, are not chargeable before his clients have paid.
