Diary of Opening A New Business

[JEdwards]

As you mentioned you sell B2B and you sell products and services which they cannot live without and they currently buy/need, do you feel you have to undercut your competitors pricing when selling, how does this effect your profit margins?

Is pricing your main usp when talking to customers?

When you started, how much did you invest in inventory from your original $15K?

If you don't mind, can you share some sales numbers?

Thanks

1. No I don't think I undercut anyone long term, I do give them a break to try us though.

2. No It isn't price.

3. 0 I invested zero.

4. I know I know lot's of No's but No.
