bb.com is ebros nutriding. get enough ebros to love you, then your sales will fly there.


go all inception on them... plant the idea how the stuff is awesome, let them find you, buy it and try it, then it will spread.

that is, if your shit is that good.

Guess I am one of few who look at bb.com yet buy from Mike, Greg, Pat, and even some Molecular Nutrition. I will not buy from several companies that many years ago had "accidently" produced contaminated products. I will follow the new poster/OP to see what is up. But some of you remember the m.g.n. protein issue which makes me extremely cautious.

COA can be faked. We all realize that. Hope you look at getting a foot in the door at the high forum volume site to jump start your sales....

Thoughts? Thanks

My thought is that you are a blithering idiot that has no clue about business. If you don't understand why things cost more, get out of this business now. I can only assume you're some hired sales rep with zero experience in this industry. There is a reason you're selling direct and not through a distributor.

1) Nobody has heard of you
2) You aren't doing advertising so a distributor doesn't want you
3) It is unlikely you have the cash to ride out inventory that way distribution forces you
4) Your shit would be so expensive nobody would buy it (this is the part you fail at currently)
5) There are a million proteins out there nobody will buy yours

You can't make a true 5lb isolate and sell it for what they do dummy. Not with distribution which adds another level of costs into the process. If you sold your product into a distributor you'd want 20-30% margin on it, they will sell it and will want the same and the retailer will want their 20-30% as well. Go back to business 101.

Ha, why are you so annoyed? Did you read the original post? No one has heard of us cause we are new! I have not said one negative thing through out this entire thread and not once have I said anything bad about your smartpowders. So I do not understand where this is coming from. Where are all those assumptions coming from?

Please do me a favor and close this thread. Thanks to all the guys who gave me honest opinions, it was exactly what I wanted. This won't be the last you hear from us, and I can not wait to get our products out on the market for all of you to enjoy. Thanks guys!

Hmm, lets see. I own this site and you only sell direct. You want to come onto my forum and spam your shit. You didn't come on and try to help anyone or answer a few questions. You came on here and said please buy my shit. There is a thing called board etiquette. Greg for instance, while him and I disagree on probably everything, I at least respect him so I don't care if he spams the board to some degree. You on the other hand, are just a spammer.

They aren't assumptions, they were basic 101 level business issues you're having.

Bye

You need thicker skin if you plan on posting on message boards. If you don't want people buying your stuff, why are even on this board. The goal of business is to profit, you want to give away stuff so people will buy. There is nothing wrong with that, but don't insult everyone by acting as if your motives weren't to generate revenue. Come on now.
