considering becoming a supplier

[dirt2suck]

I started as a US supplier

Bought a bulk order for friends and family
started talking/dealing with other salespeople
Currently have 2 sucessful service businesses that I own/operate
Have experience with selling
Adding eciggy's as my 3rd successful biz

This is a tough cookie to be successful,

For any words of encouragment, hey its up to you if you want to be successful. You create the world around you. If you want to be king, you crown yourself.

With that being said, if you want, go for it.
I always look up to and congrat those who try.
At least you have envisions of expanding your life, mind, body and soul --also helping others around you!

Just don't go too crazy ordering this and that..maybe stick with one or two popular models and parts/access. This way for a small chunk of change you can control your destiny rather than go under...biz and balls

The OP clearly said they were considering selling 901 parts exclusively.

The site attached to your email address indicates you only stock:

DSE084
DSE097
DSE101
DSE102
DSE107
DSE201

Am I missing something?

Yep, I agree... That was certainly my first impression.

thanks guys for all the feedback. i will be starting very small so you wont c me as a supporting supplier any time soon.

What it takes??? From what I have seen on these boards... it takes a LOT of parience and putting up with jerks like us who complain about every stinkin thing lol! Imagine how you have been as a consumer and imagine all other people being 10X more difficult as customers. That is how it will be.

PS.. if you showed up at the meeting last night... you could have gotten some great advice from the guys at eliquidplanet.com. They are doing quite well.

I've got a pregnant woman at home and she comes first, would have loved to be there though. Maybe the next one.

Nice way to put it...just don't let the lady see that(or maybe let her).

I've gotten in some troubles postin like that.

Anyway, I hope everything goes good.. keep us updated.
If you have any questions you can pm me

Best advice I can give is start out locally -- I am workin on building a decent base locally before the internet site gets launched, supporting supplier, etc -- at least enough people buying juice and supplies from me to fund the website and associated costs.

Also, focus on one product, and do your research. You want to provide your customers the best caping experience they can get, and you will never do so with second-rate products. Everyone i talk to on a supplier front seems to be interested in getting whatever product the cheapest. This will completely backfire on you. I would rather sell a $29 product for $50 and have happy customers than a $14 product for $50 and make more, but have pissy customers.

Just my $0.02

I don't know if this is going to pay off for me, but I started out offering everything. I had at least a dozen different models but quickly discovered that A) no one wants a model that they've never heard of and 2) there's not much difference between most of them. For a while I had 3 different types that varied by about 2mm. Nothing else I noticed, just a slightly shorter battery. That was a complete waste of effort in my opinion. Now I'm going with models that have had at least one "Where can I find a ______" thread on here
