In my quest to getting a product into stores, I have ran into a problem I didn't expect to be as much of a problem.

MSRP and pricing.

I have contacted a few retail stores trying to research average profit margins on my type of product. My goal is to provide the retailer a better profit margin than any other brand if possible,but it is very hard without a baseline.

To my surprise my first two leads didn't take kindly and that I was wasting their time.

Am I maybe not getting my point out clear enough that this is to benefit them and their industry?are these out of the question to ask?

Would I be better off trying more cold emails, or going straight to some market research experts who may already have the information. Keep in mind I am operating on a razor budget, for something at this stage I am only speculating will succeed.

Halp guys
