Learning More About the Industry
If you are interested in starting an oil field chemicals business, be sure to have a conversation with someone who is in the business. If you think owners of nearby oil field chemicals businesses will give you advice, think again. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?
But, a person who owns an oil field chemicals business on the other side of the country may be more than happy to give you a few tips, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice 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.
