    What do you guys think about this cold email?

    Too long, smelled BS 2 lines in and hit delete. Agree with @Vigilante, I put these straight into my trash. Shorten it up, 3 lines max. You don’t have to close the sale on the first email. Just get them to answer.

    @SweetTooth you’ve had 20+ responses to your thread over 2 days. You haven’t responded back to this thread since you’ve posted it. The first question you need to answer is... Do you actually want to change? Or Are you just looking for a pity party?

    You’re not selling wholesale?

    I guess it depends on your industry. If the store chain wants an exclusive, sure that could be a problem. But unless that store is Wal-Mart, I’d avoid an exclusive. I can’t really think of any indistry where a brand doesn’t sell on their website vs a store. Where you may run into a problem...

    I’m not sure if you created a separate mobile site, but it’s horrid. It’s just a block of orange text followed by a block of grey text... No pictures, tooo much reading. You need to get a simple picture of someone shooting a goal into your product with a few lines of copy and a “learn more”...

    I feel like books are a high touch point item, think book signings. These will get reorders. The first and simplest way would be to get a google maps scraper and start building lists of every Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, gift shop, Hallmark store, and mom and pop book store. Once you build...

    I was actually going to ask if you wanted to hit the sponge docks today. I’ve got a few things on my schedule today, but 1pm for a cigar, I can definitely make time for that.

    @Vigilante I wanted to tag you on here as well. With your past life experience as a corporate buyer as well as selling wholesale at your last business, you probably have some awesome and unique insights.

    Why are you starting with the big fish first? Have you contacted local Ace hardware stores? They’re independent owners and can make store specific decisions. My local Ace is loaded with random crap that I know is local. You know how many cases I’ve sold over email? ZERO. Every single case I’ve...

    Are you hoping that a brand website will sell your product wholesale? Because it won’t. The only thing that sells wholesale is picking up the phone. And selling on your website should always be viewed as a positive. It’s oroof of sales and brand loyalty.

    Jerkies seem to be a pretty simple product actually. There are loads of Home based jerky products out there. I’d start with research, find out what goes into food safety with jerky. Look up your local cottage food laws and see if you can make it at home. Then I’d start looking for jerky...

    Man, that’s an impossible question to answer. Between $1 and $100,000 So many factors come into play. Is it shelf stable? Is it acidified? Can you make it at home? Is it a liquid, solid, baked? Sometimes your product will have super high MOQ’s, which means more startup costs. I’d...
