HOW DOES YOUR COMPANY PHILOSOPHY TRANSLATE TO OPPORTUNITIES? Connection with our customers: We will truly understand their needs better than any other company as we are all industry descending and have experienced retail, wholesale, and cultivation first hand. Focus on the job at hand: In order to do a good job and fulfill our clients’ needs we must eliminate all of the unimportant situations that arise in day-to-day business and focus on our job at hand in the current moment — which is to provide the best product and service possible. Represent: I have learned in business that people do judge a book by its cover. We may have the best product possible, the highest-quality product possible, etc., but if we present them in a careless manner, they will be perceived as slapdash products. If we present them in a creative, professional manner, our clients will see and understand the quality, effort, and passion we apply to our business. WHAT DID CYCO FIRST PRODUCE? We first produced the core range of Cyco products for the Australian market and, as the line expanded into global markets, more products were developed to suit each country and the different growing methods they utilize. WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR STRUGGLES AS YOU STARTED THE BUSINESS? HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM? Cyco Nutrients started as a small family business and as it grew, there was a magnitude of struggles; entering international trade and being recognized by international distribution was the hard part. Registering products in each country and each state, then having to explore those markets to see if it was possible to grow sales in each country and what marketing and support would be needed to do so. I feel we have succeeded in brand building and recognition, and now it’s a steady climb consisting of great business manners, relationships and loyalty amongst our distribution channels, retailers, and end users. “ CYCO NUTRIENTS STARTED AS A SMALL FAMILY BUSINESS AND AS IT GREW, THERE WAS A MAGNITUDE OF STRUGGLES; entering international trade and being recognized by international distribution was the hard part.” Maximum Yield 57
