So we've been contacted out of the blue from a distributor. I have a few questions and am interested in hearing about other peoples experience.Our product is a premium shelf stable food product. We've been selling online and are sold in a number of stores (20-30) across a few cities. We've been approaching stores, selling and delivering our product ourselves.Recently we've been cold called by a distributor who say they want to take our product on. They are offering to sell our product in a number of largely independent grocery chains within our state. Out of 100% of the price, they are asking for 35% discount with a 40% markup to resellers. Is this typical?Is there anything I should be looking out for? Are these figures fairly normal for a food item? I am also hesitant to not have control over the selling and promotion of our product.Has anyone had any experience in dealing with distributors? Keen to hear your thoughts. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
