    Do you eat what you kill?

    Oh really? Sure as hell doesn’t feel like it. Maybe it’s different in Florida. But I know for sure I lose more money to Uncle Sam percent wise every 3 months. But alas, you’re the CPA, so I’ll take your word for it haha

    Do you eat what you kill?

    Also, as a commissioned salesman at my day job... I’d never touch a company that paid more than 50% of my pay in commissions. Not because I don’t trust my sales skills, but because I don’t want to pay a 33% luxury tax on my commissions. The amount you pay in taxes for commissions vs normal...

    You’re not selling wholesale?

    NOTABLE! 
    @AlonN even though I’ve made this thread, I am by no means an expert in Wholesale. I’m posting things as I learn them. But thankfully we have guys like @amp0193 and @MidwestLandlord who have strong wholesale experience as well. Do you know how I learned to do this? I said yes, and figured it...

    The game of margins If you’re selling on amazon and following conventional wisdom on pricing, good news is you should be fine with margins for wholesale. You have two tiers of pricing you need to take into account when selling wholesale. Wholesale to retail Wholesale to distributor The...

    Getting into B&M As mentioned above getting into a store isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Business shows like shark Tank want you to believe that the process involves getting a meeting with a corporate buyer, in a large board room, and month of negotiations and contracts. But reality couldn’t...

    Yep, I plan on putting together a guide for this thread later in the afternoon. Whoops, typo, I fixed it! Agreed, getting into retail is much easier than people think. But it all comes down to good quality product and product-market fit. If your product is mediocre and it doesn’t make sense...

    To commemorate my 50th thread on the Fastlane Forum, I wanted to share a topic that is very core to my business. It’s a simple concept. If you sell on Amazon, but not wholesale to other retailers, you’re throwing away millions of dollars. Let’s look at this. On this pallet is 900 units...

    Rethink that decision. If you don’t pass SF selection, you get recycled and are given a random MOS. If you take the ranger contract, you can still apply for SF selection, but if you’re already a Ranger, you go back to Ranger bat if you fail. Yes, there’s a huge percent chance you’ll fail...

    I don’t have the medical condition that my products are applicable to. And I’m open about it with all my customers. But I tell them that I saw their doctors every day of my day job not giving this condition the empathy is deserves. You can be passionate about your business and products...

    That’s a shame, their patio is great. My biggest gripe with Kona is they have different menus between inside and patio.. so weird. But inside is great too, all around good restaurant. @Vigilante i believe they share the same parking lot.

    @UnrealCreative made the reservation for 6, so I assumed that’s when everyone else was showing up. The missus, if she’s able to come, probably won’t be there till 7:30 anyway.

    Just got a call from my freight company. They probably won’t be there to pick up until 5pm. So, I may be 15-20 min late depending on how long it takes.
