Hi Bill,
The one barrier in my way is a good way to get my products to the end consumer.
As Gordon has said, I can't use direct mail because of the inexpensive nature of my current products.
So I need to get my products into retailers and that has not been easy.
I have been trying to lineup sales reps, but I have not had much luck in getting the quantity of them I need, because most reps don't really want to pioneer new products from an unknown company especially where the products don't have a high commission profit.
Take my CORDGRIP, if I could find someone who was already selling through reps, that call on wholesale distributors who service the trades (heating, electrical, plumbing etc) I feel I would be pretty much all set.
Or at least I would have a shot at getting my product(s) looked at by the people in charge of making the buying decisions.
