Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business
As part of your due diligence on opening a two-way radio sales and service business, it's essential that you learn from folks who are already in business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?
But, a person who owns a two-way radio sales and service business in a different city will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
