- Greetings everyone and welcome.
My name is Kris and in today's video,
I'm gonna be showing you how I landed a wholesale account
for selling on Amazon, as well as give you guys
the template that I use in order to reach out to them.
But before we go ahead and get into those details,
I want to announce the one-hour call
giveaway winner right here.
Reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram
and we can set that up.
And going forward, I give away a one-hour free call
every single video.
And the winner to the Panda Planner,
which I gave out last video,
is in the description below.
Reach out to me via Facebook, email or Instagram
and I can get your info so they can send it to you.
I'm really excited about the winner for that.
It's an awesome, awesome, piece.
Now let's go ahead and talk about wholesalers
and how to get into that.
Now this is one of the questions
I get asked the most, right?
We talk about online arbitrage here on this channel
and I'm relatively new to wholesale.
But the question is, "How do I get into touch
"with these people that have name brand products?"
This doesn't necessarily just have to be
for selling on Amazon.
I talk about selling on Amazon, this could be
for your eBay store, for your Etsy store,
for your boutique shop.
It really doesn't matter, it's the same process primarily.
So what I did was I went to this website
called wholesalecentral.com.
And it's a fairly plain website.
It's got some categories and everything like that.
But what I did was, I'm not looking
for a particular product, I'm looking for suppliers.
So what I did was I went to the Advanced Search section.
And from there I just plugged in my category
that I was looking for.
I plugged in either Manufacturer or Distributor.
And then I plugged in my location,
which I just chose the United States.
And from there it pulled up a list.
And I started going down the list.
And my next step was just clicking on 'em to see,
okay, what kind of stuff do these guys have?
Because it's a pretty broad topic.
Like if you just click on one topic,
it's gonna be pretty broad,
you might get all different types of things.
Like, I like selling health food stuff,
so I clicked on one earlier and it said barley.
It was like wheat and barley.
And obviously, I'm not trying to sell that on Amazon.
So you need to figure out,
okay, are these going to meet the marketplace
in which I'm selling?
And then, from there once you see certain brands
that you like, that's when you reach out to 'em.
And they usually have their phone numbers, there's emails.
I was just reaching out to 'em via email.
And here's the template that I actually used.
I'm just gonna summarize it is,
"Hey, my name's Kris.
"I'm the purchasing manager from Company XYZ,
"and we are a retailer looking to get
"into selling your products.
"Do you have a spreadsheet available?"
And also let 'em know where you found 'em at.
So I let 'em know, "We found you on wholesalecentral.com."
You know, they like to hear where you found 'em at
'cause they're probably on several other websites.
And from there most contacted me back.
But what I noticed was,
some of the products that I was interested
in that they had actually on their websites
they didn't have in their spreadsheets.
So it was kind of misleading.
But something I wanna say is that they still had
great items in the spreadsheet.
That's how I went about and found it,
now the next step would be analyzing the spreadsheets,
which I'm actually gonna be talking
about in an upcoming video on how to quickly do that.
There's a couple of different softwares out there
and I wanna touch on one specifically.
So guys, I really hope that you found
some value in this video.
I hope you guys contact some wholesale suppliers,
get some stuff set up.
Let me know what questions you have
in the description below.
And I will see you next video.
