The signal
Web · New page
“Become a stockist of our garden furniture”
The opener
It starts from the topic, never from the signal: no “I saw that you…”.
The conversation
Hi Isabel, For an outdoor furniture range, the first stockists are usually won in store, not online. Are you after direct retailers, or someone to look after them?
A bit of both. We don't have anyone in the South West yet.
I'm a sales agent in the South West and I visit around forty shops a month. Do you have particular retailers in mind?
Not really, and the season is being planned now. Let's talk.
How about Thursday at 10 am, or the same time the following week? 20 minutes on a video call. Invite to isabel.foster@solentgardens.co.uk, is that right?
Gladly, Thursday at 10 am. Yes, that's the right address.
