Finding an Old School Supplier
Today there is no shortage of wholesale suppliers. All will claim great prices and service. Where is one any different than another?
It is amazing how business has changed over the years. Before, when competition was stiff, a company would seek out ways to stand out. Those ways have changed a lot. Today, many sellers spend a lot of money to create an attractive website filled with nice photos of products. They will include words like “our world famous…” and “customers are our main concern”
While the pictures and words can be somewhat appealing to many, they are in fact just pictures and words.
It is extremely rare to find a supplier today which has the customers’ interest truly at heart.
