Learn How Walmart Made Joey a Millionaire!
Selling your product to Walmart is not as hard as some people would have you believe. Most successful vendors that are already selling to Walmart would not even dare tell you their secrets.
Of course getting Walmart to purchase your product is not a cakewalk, but if you have a product they can make money from, they will walk you through the process.
My friend created a product that he felt was unique and that consumers really needed. He had so many people tell him how hard it would be to get his product into Walmart that he almost gave up before even trying. I convinced him that he should call a broker or distributor and solicit them his product.
He ended up calling an ex Walmart buyer that fell in love with his product and decided he would help get his product into Walmart. The ex-buyer let Joey know that there is a process but with his help he could make the process seem easier than approaching Walmart on his own.
Jim the broker got Joey an appointment with a Walmart buyer in less than a month. Joey flew to Arkansas to meet with the Walmart buyer and Jim. Jim gave Joey a list of things he needed so that the meeting would be a success. Joey needed to have a presentation that showed the buyer that there was demand for his product even though he never had his product in a retail store. He did have some pretty decent online sales, but not nearly as good if he had a huge advertising budget.
Joey was extremely nervous about the meeting because he knew he did not have a huge budget to run a National advertising campaign. He was manufacturing his product in China and knew he would not have a problem keeping up with the capacity Wal-mart would require.
Joey was amazed that the buyer was not interested in him having a huge advertising budget. The buyer just wanted his lowest price. Joey developed a product the buyer felt his customers needed and it was very unique to his category.
Walmart is in the business of selling a large amount of product at an every day low price that their customers expect. They do not want money for advertising they just want your best price. A buyer is looking for a product that has high demand and also has the potential to make the buyer look really good.
Joey returned from Arkansas with an order that trumped what he made in 2 years working for corporate America. He would have never gotten his product into Walmart if he would have listened to all the people that wanted him to give up and stop dreaming. Joey was successful getting into Walmart because he had a great product and a really good broker.
I have since helped Joey with his product and we have made millions of dollars selling to Walmart. I will happily share some of the critical secrets that most vendors will never tell you that are already selling to Walmart. Believe me it is not that hard if you try and you have nothing to lose but a lot to money if you don't try.
