Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs

After you've evaluated your local competitors, it's a wise move to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. Why would they want to educate a future competitor?

However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a refrigeration equipment commercial wholesale and manufacturers business in another town will be much more likely to talk with you, given that you don't compete with them in their area. Many business owners are happy to give advice to new entrepreneurs. Our estimate is that you may have to contact many business owners to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

How would you find an owner of a refrigeration equipment commercial wholesale and manufacturers business in another city who you can speak with?
