I have been thinking about seeking out distributors in other cities. Here is the problem/ good for you, bad for me. When I started selling some supplies my focus was not on making a profit. I just wanted to cover my time and expenses. I did want to make sure I could offer a high quality products priced at or below wholesale so people like you, not professionals, could still buy like professionals. Too many companies are marking up car care supplies 300-400%. So here are my issues. I know the people that have used my stuff really like it, how do I motivate other people to sell it? certainly money is a motivator, but when your working close as I am, how would I go about it? Maybe someone here can offer some suggestions. One thing I have thought of is going to dealerships, offering to train their detailing staff. analyze their product line and see how and where they are wasting money. Then I could offer my products which I know will be cheaper and perform better. please send your ideas and responses through my web site. Gary
