Start a new trade business

**Mykel2617** · 12-08-2008 04:59 AM

I am going to start a trade business, but I have some problems from the beginning. From couple days I am sending e mails to a famouse international firms with a simple question which more or less sounds like this: ........ I would like to have your products in my store, and how could we start co-operate, could I buy an account or a licence,?.... Unfortunately almost nobody answered on my e mail.
Maybe someone can help me with this? What do I have to do to get some business contacts and what do I need to do to buy an account or license from somoene else. What is funny the most, I send just one e mail to a chinese wholesaler and they answered like a one minute later, the problem is that I want to have those products directly form a producer, I need the highest quality product.
I would like to add that I am from Poland and those firms are mostly from USA... Maybe nobody starts the trade business through the e mail, maybe I should go there.., but what if I have't had any replies from them.
If anyone has any advices please let me know.

if you need factory, just seach in alibaba.com or made-in-china. com or Globalsources. com. but before do biz with them, you shoulde ask them send some pictures of their factory. also you must do biz by Quality samples

Most of the players don't want to deal with just a retail store, you have to have some serious volume to start talking. Try going with the trading companies first - you'll get a worse price but probably better service and cooperation so you can learn the ropes...
