    How to find clients

    Hi there,

    I'm planning to start a stock prescription lens wholesale business and I have already find a supplier to work with. But when it comes to finding clients, I'm not sure where to start? Anyone has suggestions? Thanks.

    Follow the advise of Willy Loman and "put a shine on your shoes and a smile on your face and go out there and knock on doors." I hope you end up better off than poor Willy.

    Word of mouth is the most effective and cheapest form of advertisement.

    Well, you have to start with rbaker's tip to knock on some doors. Then all you have to do is be very impressive!
