Default Wholesalers: What to spend on a first order

What to spend on a first order

Most people would say; “Start small and then work your way up”. This may be the case if you cannot trust the supplier 100% or you just want to see how things go for this first deal. You may also have limited capital that might only allow you to buy a certain amount of units. However I believe spending on your first order is an individual decision rather than a common practice one.

Why would you deal with anyone you can't trust 100%?

OK but my logic would be if I don't trust 100% I don't deal, I believe that is the best way.

You can't trust someone 100% if you have had no dealings with them previously. You need o build the trust up.

As has already been pointed out, nothing is 100% in life in general, let alone the world of wholesale business..

no risk no gain
the bigger the potential risk the bigger the potential gain is usually the case

as its been said nothing is 100%

i think there has to be an element of faith in the first transactions, it could go ballsup but could be the start of something good - start small and move up!
