This is a very effective way to track down suppliers. Another great way to fine Drop shipping and Wholesale suppliers is to go to niche trade fairs, by that I mean trade fairs specifically related to the niche that you want to sell in, for example Pet trade shows, or music accessory trade fairs.

Importing from China - Sourcing Products from Chinese Suppliers

Importing from China is a fantastic way to source private label products. Chinese suppliers are high-profit, low-cost! Interested in making $10,000/Month? Download our free ebook here: http://wholesaleted.com/4-step Importing from China is something that I strongly recommend. It is much cheaper to purchase product from Chinese suppliers compared to USA suppliers. Some people find this idea very daunting, especially the cultural barrier. To help you, we’ve created this video outlining some of our top tips when importing from China. Tip #1: Order the minimal order quantity to start with when importing from China To be on the safe side, you should always start with the minimal order quantity when dealing with a new supplier. I understand that a lot of sellers want to start out by ordering larger quantities. This makes sense, because the more you order the lower the cost is per-item, and the higher your profit margins. It also means that you will have a smaller chance of running out of stock. In Spite of this, when importing from China with a new Chinese supplier, I recommend starting with the minimal order quantity (EVEN if you know it’ll sell well) because you want to test the quality. It is much harder to go from producing 1 unit to producing 200… and even harder to go from producing 200 to 1000. On that note, you should ALWAYS be ordering a test product when dealing with a new Chinese supplier! You’ll have to pay for the shipping, but it is extremely important to do this to check the quality even if the supplier has a lot of reviews on Alibaba. Tip #2: Do due diligence on the supplier That said, reviews on Alibaba are very important. When using Alibaba to source Chinese suppliers, check the reviews. Only work with suppliers that have positive reviews. Be sure to check the address of the supplier on Google Maps. Ensure that there is a factory at the address noted. If there isn’t a factory, then it is likely a middle man… which means you’re paying inflated prices, and not the at-cost price. And pick up the phone and give them a call. Make sure someone picks up the phone and talks to you (yes - this may seem obvious, but a lot of people don’t do this simple thing). Even better is if you can find people who can personally recommend Chinese suppliers to you. This way, you can work with suppliers that you can trust from the get-go. Tip #3: Build a strong relationship with your supplier and representative This is an important lesson not just when importing from China but for business and life in general. Treat people with respect and they will treat you with respect as well. Think about it: If someone was disrespectful to you, would you want to help them? On the other hand, if someone is nice to you, don’t you want to help them? Be respectful, and friendly. In addition, Chinese suppliers like you to be formal in your communication style with them. They like to be told directly that you appreciate their business and are happy with the products being produced. They will be hoping to turn you into a long-term client, and want the positive feedback, so be sure to give it to them. Tip #4: Don’t feel you need to speak Mandarin When importing from China, some people get put off by the perceived language barrier. “But I only know English… can I still import from China?” Yes - you can! Chinese factories have English representatives specifically for people like you. Their English is good and you’ll have minimal language barriers. Don’t let this stop you from profiting from the very cheap products you can source from China. Now, when importing from China there are some things you can do to minimize the language barrier. One, use short sentences, and do not include extra fluff. Be straight to the point. Two, use professional language, do not use slang. Three, be aware that there are multiple types of “English.” Four, don’t assume that your representative knows YOUR particular flavour of English. Avoid country-specific words and isms. Tip #5: Remember that when importing from China “yes” doesn’t always mean YES. In China it is considered impolite for the suppliers to say no. So, even when they want to say no… they are unlikely to, and will often say yes instead. However, this doesn’t mean it is a yes. It is a no. But they will say “yes” anyway. It is one frustrating quirk. If you sense any hesitation in their “yes” ask them the same question, be reworded differently multiple times. If you ever get a “maybe” that is almost always a no!

Get wholesale suppliers for eBay with SaleHoo: http://bit.ly/getsalehoo Ebook reveals how to earn $10,000/month via dropshipping: http://www.wholesaleted.com/4-step Ever wondered where people find their super-cheap wholesale suppliers for eBay? They have a secret tool that they use: SaleHoo. In this video, I teach you how to use SaleHoo’s directory to find them. Step 1: Sign up for a SaleHoo subscription The way that we find our wholesale suppliers for eBay is using SaleHoo, an online supplier directory containing supplier profiles for over 8,000 different suppliers including wholesalers, dropshippers, liquidators and manufacturers. Step 2: Load up all of SaleHoo’s suppliers In the top menu bar once you’ve signed into your subscription, click “Wholesale Directory.” If you don’t know what type of item to sell, what I suggest you do then is look through all of SaleHoo’s wholesalers and find the best items in their catalogs to buy. To do this, you’ll need to load up each wholesaler on their directory list. To do that, click on the blue button next to the search bar. If you already know what type of item you want to sell, click on the related category. So if you want to sell items relating to clothing and fashion, click on that button on the page. In this video as I explain, I wanted to find the best wholesale suppliers for eBay that sell clothing, so I clicked “clothing and fashion.” Step 3: Sort suppliers into wholesalers Not all of the suppliers we loaded up in step 2 will be wholesalers, so we need to filter the results to only show wholesalers. To do this, click “more options.” From here, click “supplier type.” Select “wholesalers” from the list. When you do, SaleHoo will automatically refresh it’s results to only show wholesalers. Step 4: Optional - filter results to only show Asian wholesalers Generally, I only use Asian wholesale suppliers for eBay because they tend to be the cheapest. This isn’t always the case though! And sometimes, you may want to find suppliers located in your local region to speed up shipping times. Wherever you want your suppliers to be located is up to you. To filter the results by region, click “more options.” Select “region.” Click on whatever part of the world you want your suppliers to be located. For me, I select Asia. And then you’re done! You can also filter results even more, such as by minimum order requirements or to find wholesale suppliers for eBay that don’t require a sales tax ID. When you’ve done all of these steps and located a list of wholesalers, go through each of their catalogs and look at the prices of their items. In this video, I show you one item - Ralph Lauren Polo Shirts - that you can buy in a bulk wholesale lot for 450 pounds with free shipping This works out to be $14.07 USD per shirt. You can then resell them for $39.99 USD per shirt! That is a big profit. So go through each of the catalogs and look for the bargains like this: then buy them, and resell them for a big profit on eBay. And don’t forget to take into account eBay and PayPal fees, too. These usually work out to be between 10-15%. This wraps up my tutorial on how to locate wholesale suppliers for eBay. Want to know how to make even more money by reselling items online?

Video 3 Crash Course How to negotiate with Chinese suppliers

Visit http://www.chinasourcingacademy.com/welcome-to-csa/ to see the full video series of the China Sourcing Crash Course. Earlier videos talked about how to find and evaluate suppliers, not let’s get into how to negotiate a good price. Different industries have different margins, and even within the same industry, some suppliers quote high, some quote low. So, I am sorry to say there is no set formula for negotiation like “if they say 100, I say 50 and we split the difference”. In the USA for example, we tend to think of negotiations as a sport with set of rules and protocol. Two gladiators sit at the negotiation table and the one with the supplier negotiation ninjitsu is going to get the better price. But in China the rules of negotiation are totally different. There is no fixed time when the negotiation takes place or ends. In short, there are a whole set of Chinese negotiation tactics which are beyond the scope of this video and certainly outside of the skill set of the average foreign buyer, including myself. My Chinese father in law likes to remind me that the Chinese have been negotiating with each other for 1000 of years of continuous history and it is not like I’m going to walk in the room and out negotiate them. He’s right, but even if I can’t beat them at their own game, I still have the ability to out research them. And this brings us to the most important weapon in your supplier negotiation arsenal: research. Most of my negotiations take only a few minutes, but my research may have taken months. My typical negotiation goes like this: Mr. Li, it has been a pleasure to get to know you and your company. I am impressed with the quality systems and the strong reputation your firm has. However, my co-workers on the sourcing team are required to get multiple quotations from multiple suppliers. My staff has found a factory of similar size to yours with similar quality and lead-times in the next province over, and their price is 8% lower than yours. We would prefer to do business with you if you can match the offer from the other supplier. It basically comes down to a diplomatically delivered “take it or leave it”. If my research is accurate about the options, for example the other suppliers is 8% lower that Mr. Li, then Mr. Li will know that I know what he knows, in terms of what is the going price for a given product in China, and Mr. Li will more than likely come down in price. However, because suppliers have a very good sense of the going price of a given product in China, and they may even personally know the other factories, never try to bluff or make up a fictitious 2nd supplier with prices made up out of thin air. If Mr. Li senses you don’t really know the going price for a product in China, you will find it hard to negotiate effectively. On that note, as always, I sign off- wishing you successful sourcing in China!
