Any Tips ?

I'm meeting a local restaurant owner to get prices on what hes paying currently for his game and how he packages his meat etc, also meeting the chef.

Anyone got any tips for the meeting ?

Cheers

Rich

Use it as an opportunity to build your relationship with him, understand his needs and his buying decisions

often people don't always want prices beaten but also to make sure the quality is good. Make sure you build a good idea about what he wants before providing quotes.

I'm with BannerWare on this. Don't be tempted to simply undercut his existing supplier unless there's plenty of margin in it - all too often you end up with business that brings you no money. Try and offer something better, whether it's quality, product range, service . Why should he change from his existing supplier? Don't feel pressurised to give quotes at this stage but instead listen, take down facts and then get right back to him once you've had a chance to think it through and cost it .

Be his stock supplier. You can try to search local farmers and make an agreement to them

I wish best of luck for your meeting. You can understand the pain points of his daily working day. And plan a business model so that both of yo can get benefited. For example if they are not offering online ordering you can collaborate him in this scenario.

Thanks for the help everyone, he took an order and not only that helped me out with my business idea.

Offering his help in packaging and distribution, made a valuable business contact here.

Once again thanks for the help.
