The business I am working on happens to need lots of suppliers.

Yet most suppliers we are contacting don't answer emails/phone, or declined to work with us.

I assume this is because we are too small.

So the problem is: We are too small to get the suppliers, but we need the suppliers in order to grow.

How do you break this chicken/egg cycle?

Any tips on getting big suppliers to work with you even though you're small?
