Initiating a call with wholesale vendors and maintaining great relationships are the keys to an excellent, high-profit Amazon business. But simply picking up the phone and knowing that you’ll be talking to complete strangers could be an overwhelming experience for the shy entrepreneur. How can you communicate with wholesale distributors and vendors if you’re an introvert? Well, you have the permission to be a beginner, and with a little practice and preparation, you’ll start making solid relationships and reaping high profit in no time.

 

In today’s episode, we discuss how to find, approach, and maintain good working relationships with wholesale vendors and Amazon FBAs. We share tips to help you prepare for your first contact, the questions you should expect to receive as well as the questions you should ask. We explain how to turn around a ‘no’ from wholesale distributors and vendors to create great working relationships. We also share a few exercises to help you practice for your first call and how a solid relationship with a wholesale representative has protected our business.
