Lesson #2: Each stage served a purpose, so we know that Home Depot isn’t simply delaying things for amusement, but this experience helped hand hold us through the entire process and challenged some of our processes and to think outside of the box. We believe that the carrot is large enough that it is worth this kind of long term investment. However, as we noted in our Bad Habits post, nearsightedness can kill a company’s long term growth. We know that getting our SKUs regsistered in is only the first of many steps, and we know that the entire process could be years away before we make much headway in the retail market. Lesson #1: Be prepared for the long haul. Wow! In total, the process to get 7 repair line SKU’s in the system took nearly an entire year, and that’s before they were made available to the public! But now that we have an assigned Home Depot coordinator to ensure our success as a vendor, we are ready to go live.
