Do you ask yourself if you should be in the wholesale business?

Think of your Wholesale Customers in 3 Levels, much like a traffic light: Green Light, Yellow Light, Red Light

Green Light Customers:

  • Pay their bills on time or pay cash on transactions.
  • Buy consistently from you, daily or weekly with decent volume purchasing.
  • Send very little back for credit.

Give these Customers the best discount you can profitably!

Yellow Light Customers:

  • Are inconsistent with purchases
  • You are a secondary source for them.
  • Buy erratically from you, do volume every 3 months.
  • Have a high percentage return rate.
  • Buy often but not large volumes.
  • Slow to pay their bills.

Red Light Customers:

  • Are inconsistent with purchases
  • You are a secondary source for them.
  • Buy erratically from you.
  • Have a very high percentage return rate.
  • Complain a lot or try to convince you they are a top notch customer.
  • Slow to pay their bills.
