If you’re a retailer and you’re looking for a wholesaler, then you may be interested in this story.

A salesman told his story of how he relocated to Southeast Asia to work for a jewelry brand. His job was his bread and butter and he stayed with his brand for a dozen years. He lived in a foreign country and learned everything necessary to survive there. He learned how to speak the local language of his host country, by studying in adult learning classes.

Although the salesman was based in one country, he was required to travel to neighboring countries for his company’s trade fairs. His brand participated in trade fairs to boost their presence, marketing, sales and customer base.

He asked me and my friend if we could be interested to get supplies from him, become a retailer, and help him sell his company’s products. He offered a business to business proposal. I said I’ll remember his offer should I be interested. Presently, I am not inclined to take products from a wholesaler to sell.
