Product Description
There's Money in the Middle!
You like doing deals and making money, but don't care much for the retail grind? You should be the middleman-the wholesaler-the one who buys goods in volume from manufacturers and sells them to retailers at a profit. With millions of products on the market already and new ones coming every day, the wholesale economy has plenty of room for growth.
This guide reveals how to start a thriving wholesale operation, specializing in any industry you choose-and how to run it from your kitchen table, if you'd like. You'll learn:
- How to make contact with manufacturers and retailers
- Which product lines will bring maximum success
- Insider secrets for overcoming the competition
- How to take advantage of the internet's growing role in distribution
- Effective strategies for increasing profit margins
You'll also get sample forms, step-by-step instructions, checklists and work sheets to guide you smoothly through each stage of the startup process. It's a straight shot from where you are today to owning and running your own business-and you can start right now.
Customer Reviews
Waste of Money, Lack of Information
Good thing I was able to return this book. Way too short and provided lack of important information. Much of the text can be researched online and most of their ideas are common sense. The Appendix they provided are weak. The web sites provide little to zero of help. If you really want to learn more about this kind of business, ask directing to the manufacture.
Hardly worth the trouble
Hardly worth the trouble, much less the price. Wholesale distribution is not the kind of business that the average person just decides to start out of the blue, like a maid service or tv repair shop. For some weird reason, this book treats WD just like that. The author assumes you know absolutely nothing about running a business and must be tutored on elementary details. The meat of the whole WD issue is hardly touched. The scope of the book is extremely limited, and other than a single obscure reference in the appendix, it was totally useless to me.
Short but good primer
This book is very short, but it has some good information for the beginner who is contemplating the process of starting a business in this field. But this will not offer much to anyone who has thoroughly researched the field themselves.
It does not give you any information about what products to offer, where to get them, or who to sell them to. But it does give real world examples of how various people in the field have approached issues that arose.
Don't waste your money
The saddest thing about this book is that Amazon wants to charge me $4.95 to return it when the description on the web site is clearly wrong. The book is 85 pages (+ 14 appendix/index pages), not 200, and isn't worth the paper it's printed on. An absolute waste of time and money.
