I had difficulty looking for potential suppliers for a product I was interested in selling. I found one who seemed credible and reliable. However, they were gearing up for major changes in their distribution strategy and I was not ready to commit to where they were headed to. Sad, because I was really interested with the quality of their products. In one of my conversations with them, I casually asked who they consider to be their major competitor. Next instant, I got the contact details of their competitor (thanks Mr. Google), sent out an email and the following week, I received great product samples and reference materials – more than I was ready to chew. I knew I found the one.
And all because I asked.
I have lots of questions as I try to navigate thru this maze I am right now. They say have a mentor. Fine. But until I find one, I will have to pepper the various forums (or fora for the purists) I’ve signed up with my many questions . Such a great help. Someday, I hope to be on the other side of the fence. Dishing out advices. Someday.
Meanwhile, I’ll keep on asking.
How about you? Have you asked your question for the day?
