?The need to know, redefinedBy Richard Turen
As mostly small business entrepreneurs, we purchase products from suppliers,
Buy Mens Nike Air Yeezy Shoes Store Is The Best Place For You To Buy, and we often act as their distributor. Sellers and suppliers have a long established dance they do together. It has been that way for decades.
But the Digital Age has brought one important change between sellers and suppliers. It is now far more difficult for suppliers to find those who sell or distribute their product. The sellers are, as often as not, hiding in not so plain sight. Sellers of upscale travel products, particularly, have discovered (much to their bottom line joy) that they can sell out of their home. Offices have become, for many, redundant.
Think of what can go wrong with an office location. It can actually be successful. "Success" once meant "busy," but those two terms no longer equate. Busy foot traffic means conversations and questions. Phones ringing in your home office more often mean business.
So the seller has adjusted rather well to the new business model. Whether they are hosted, helped or hot sellers on their own accord, agents have found that geography matters less now. There is no longer a need to ply a client with coffee and to ask about the family. The new traveler values time more than anything. They don’t want a sit down,

For the suppliers, the representatives,

How do you go where the salespeople are if you can no longer find them? You certainly can’t be showing up at their home for a sales call unless, of course, you are invited. We keep our home fairly tidy, but I’m not certain it will ever be up to standards that would enable me to feel comfortable with a sales call from the George V in Paris.
The fact that so many agents have abandoned the brick and mortar model has enhanced their status as independent entrepreneurs. Now,

Warren Buffett tells a story that has a good deal of application in our industry. He was approached by a young MBA student one day who talked about all the time and energy he was putting into studying the way the industry he wanted to pursue worked. He wanted to run the most successful business in his chosen field some day, and he wanted to know what he should be studying.
Buffett told the young man to approach entrepreneurship the same way he would approach dating and women.
You wouldn’t waste time and energy reading about and researching how to understand a woman just to have a perfect kiss,

I think that is the part of what we do that suppliers often miss. The fact is, most of us really do see ourselves as entrepreneurs, and we want our meetings with suppliers to be filled with "Shark Tank" type possibilities. And we’re really not afraid to make mistakes.
Because so many of us depend on our meetings with suppliers at annual or semiannual consortia or agency group meetings, I thought I’d offer suppliers specifics that might help them relate to the new breed of independent seller:
Bring a contract of some sort,
Order Cheap Nike Air Yeezy 2 Red October Clearance Sale Fast Shipping, and try to get it signed. You want us to feature your product prominently. You want us to increase sales. OK. What are you going to be doing at your end to help us achieve that end? What marketing clout will you bring to the table? Let’s have a discussion and try to get an agreement signed so it is perfectly clear what our responsibilities are, along with the rewards we will realize.
