If you want to work independently as a product supplier, you should ensure that you have a vehicle or means if conveying the products you are supplying to the customers. And you must also have excellent inter personal skills to work as a supplier.

Well been a product supplier is not bad but sometimes it may not be profitable simply because alot of people now are more civilised and they tend to order their products directly from the producers.

It is not everyone that will have access the company directly. So working as a supplier is still very good business in this present time. The supplier always have the needed connection.

A product supplier could be a middleman. His main duty is to supply products. He could collect orders from retailers and then place an order in the wholesale market. They receive products from the wholesaler and then they sell it to the retailers. Many people work as suppliers in my city. So, is it a great business? How profitable is it?

Being a product supplier means that you're either the person who is producing the goods/ products or you're in direct contact with the company that produces the products. Once you have access, you can meet up sellers in the market and start supplying them.

For the fact that you are going to be the major supplier of one particular product or even more than one product, it gives you a better chance of making more profit because you will have a lot of people that you are supplying to and getting a lot of sales on daily basis.

Yes, There are some products that requires only one supplier per locality. So, imagine you are the only recognized supplier of a trending product in your locality. That means making more than enough dough.

If you're interested in becoming a product supplier, there are a few things you need to do in order to get started. First, you need to identify what type of products you want to sell. Once you've done that, you need to find a manufacturer or wholesaler who can provide you with the products you're interested in selling. Once you've found a supplier, you need to negotiate a price for the products you want to purchase. Finally, you need to set up a system for storing and shipping the products you've purchased.

It is just like some of the products that Aliko Dangote produces in Nigeria which I know a man who is the only major distributor in the South East of his particular tomato paste product which the man is now a billionaire.

Yes, Same thing with some Detergent producing company. Detergent Company like 'Good Mama' have only one supplier per Local Government in my country here. And I think it is like this for several other businesses, Dangote Cement is also an example.

As a supplier, you must have a means of transportation. That's because you would be moving from place to place to supply the products you deal on. You don't need to buy in large quantities. You just need to buy according to the supply demand you have.

It is quite easy to do this whether you have your own product or not. Just approach someone that has a product and market them to other people, you get to make your own profit.

Probably, when you meet someone who has a product you can tell them that you are good in supplying. You can use social media to boost your services and get a lot of people that will be interested for you to supply for them.

They are the ones called the middlemen. The producer depends on them to sell out while the retailers depend on them to get stock. They somehow are very important for both parties and find ways to maximise from both parties.

If you're not the owner of the product and you just want to be supplying, firstly you have to get the company you will want to be working with and proof significant profit margin for the company

My father used to produce plastic items. The middlemen used to come buy from us and go sell to the retailers at their own prices. Sometimes, their profit margin used to be more than our own as the producers.
