Assess Competitors
Long before you open a warehouse representatives business within your community, it's essential to find out how you will fit in the competitive landscape. Use the link below to find competitors in your city. After following the link, enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of warehouse representatives businesses in your area.
If there's too much competition, it may be wise to consider starting the business in a less competitive marketplace.
Finding a Non-Competitive Business Mentor
If you are interested in starting a warehouse representatives business, the next step is to speak with somebody who is already in the business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. What's in it for them?
On the other hand, an individual who has a warehouse representatives business in a different city can be a great learning resource for you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Don't Rule Out Franchising
