Questions

The business is selling restaurant/cafe/bakery supplies like baking machines, cooking utensils, restaurant tableware, restaurant/cafe furniture and disposables. How can I get started without holding inventory first?

Brutally honest... Just start selling

There are two ways to do this...
With some money to invest - Buy a couple of appliances / machines / products the ones that you most like and think you can sell faster. Yes at the beginning you need to go with your gut and with what you like and enjoy the most... So get yourself in front of a mirror and imagine selling to yourself a particular product.

With no money to invest / or if you just don't want to risk that much - In today's day and age you can just choose some products, download some pictures, create a pdf with the specs and post it on social media.. Invest a couple of $ to make a campaign.

Don't forget to create your perfect client's avatar so you can target those campaigns.

But don't stay there,, those pictures, specifications and documents you have for the campaign print them and go visit restaurants / cafes / bakeries, etc... show them your catalog and give them a special price for ordering in advance. That way you can get some money so you can then buy the products.

Hope this helps and if you need anything else or have some follow up questions, don't be shy and click the button to contact me.

Have a great day
