The client, Andrei, is a forward-thinking agricultural investor from Moldova who operates a vast 130-hectare commercial orchard in Russia’s fertile Krasnodar Krai region.

The orchard is dedicated to the high-value Kordia cherry variety, a popular export crop sensitive to environmental damage. For a project of this immense scale, Andrei was not merely seeking a supplier; he was looking for a reliable, long-term partner who could provide not only high-quality products but also the expert guidance necessary for a successful large-scale installation.

The Challenge

The decision to cover 130 hectares was a monumental investment for Andrei, and the selection process was fraught with challenges:

• Lack of Installation Expertise: Despite his experience in agriculture, Andrei’s team had never undertaken a self-installation of a protection system at this scale. They had countless technical questions regarding the optimal layout, required accessories, and installation methods.
• Intense Price Competition: The market presented numerous offers, many at significantly lower price points. Andrei was under pressure to justify choosing a premium-priced solution over cheaper alternatives.
• The Trust Deficit: Committing to a massive order with an overseas supplier required absolute confidence. Andrei needed assurance that the product quality would be consistent, the delivery would be reliable, and the supplier would act as a true partner throughout the process.

EyouAgro’s Solution

Nicole, Andrei’s contact at EyouAgro, understood that winning this project would be a marathon of trust-building, not a sprint to the lowest price. She executed a patient, value-focused strategy.

• Step 1: Becoming the “Expert Advisor”: For two months, Nicole communicated continuously and in-depth with Andrei. She patiently and meticulously answered hundreds of technical questions and provided detailed drawings, data sheets, and installation guides. She moved beyond the role of a salesperson to become his dedicated technical consultant.
• Step 2: Demonstrating Value Over Price: When faced with a lower target price from the client, Nicole didn’t simply offer a discount. Instead, she transparently explained the value proposition: the difference between 100% Virgin HDPE and recycled materials, the importance of a high KLY UV rating for durability, and the security of a 5-year warranty. She sent high-quality physical samples so Andrei could see and feel the difference himself.
• Step 3: Solidifying the Partnership: The extensive consultation and transparent communication built an unshakable foundation of trust. Convinced that EyouAgro was the right long-term partner, Andrei made the ultimate commitment: he flew to Shanghai with his team for a face-to-face meeting to finalize the details and sign the contract for the 130-hectare project.

The Result & Value

The primary result of this engagement was the successful establishment of a major international partnership built on a foundation of mutual trust and respect.

• Secured a High-Value Partnership: EyouAgro successfully won the 130-hectare contract, proving that a superior strategy based on expertise and value can overcome pure price competition.
• Empowered the Client: We gave Andrei the knowledge and confidence he needed to proceed with his large-scale self-installation project, transforming his uncertainty into a clear action plan.
• Forged a Long-Term Relationship: The in-person meeting in Shanghai solidified the business deal and cemented a personal connection, ensuring a strong, collaborative partnership for the future as the project moves into the installation phase.
