Counter staff training converts Zen stock into sell through faster than any display spend.
Every serious sourcing conversation about the Zen eventually arrives at counter staff training, usually because it is where cost and risk meet.
In practice the decision comes down to three numbers: unit cost, freight per unit and the realistic sell through rate for Zen.

Checklist
- Request batch photographs and a packing list prior to shipment.
- Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.

- Check carton quantities against the commercial invoice line by line.
- Verify that artwork matches the approved compliance template.

Commercial terms
Freight terms should be named explicitly, because an unclear incoterm is the fastest way to lose a relationship.
Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

| Pallet (1551 units) | Tier 2 | 7-12 days |
