FAQ's

1. How do you approach a small mom and pops store to get them to help you promote and sell your products.
I don't. I offer to HELP THEM increase their business and create more happy customers.

2. What is the most popular product you retail?
LimuPlus

3 how do you market Limu plus to a small independent holistic store? Try it - on consignment. Usually results in a few - but regular ongoing sales. May pick up a rep down the line... but NEVER push recruiting on ANYBODY... or you will get a bad rap. 4. What is the max stores can a person owns to be consider small and not commercial?

Do they use bar codes or not. CHAINS use bar codes. Any store IS commercial by definition.

5 Do you recruit store owners or do you give them a percentage of the commissions made? Never.

6 How do you convert a customer already doing a large volume into a affiliate? I don't... if it's not broken, don't fix it. You will DRIVE a good customer AWAY starting the recruiting pitch.

7. Do you give customers info to prospect them or do you wait for them to ask you about joining Your company?
Apples & Oranges. LEAVE 'EM ALONE. Get OVER RECRUITING FEVER... and just serve your customers.

8. What would be the best what to explain what we do if ask by a vendor?
Supply high quality products at minimal cost - due to our streamlined overhead model.
