BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Details worth discussing.
Who can inquire?
Retailers, distributors, representatives, outfitters, educators, and online sellers can contact the office about their business. An inquiry does not establish an approved account.
How do I get wholesale pricing and order minimums?
Request current pricing, opening and reorder minimums, availability, and account requirements directly. Confirm the final terms in writing before placing an order.
What about payment and freight?
Ask the office about payment requirements, any credit-review process, freight support, handling, and shipping for your location. These details need confirmation for your account and order.
Can we discuss distribution or territory?
Include the states or region you serve and the kinds of stores in your network. Territory and any exclusivity require a written agreement; no territory is promised here.
Where can staff learn about the calls?
Use the on-site video library, call-model pages, and band/reed replacement lessons. Match each lesson to the call being demonstrated.
