Lesson Five: Deal Flow

You should always be growing two lists: Sellers People with inventory: Wholesalers Distributors Liquidators Retailers offloading stock Buyers People who move product: Amazon FBA sellers Online sellers Retail stores Other brokers Save every contact in WhatsApp. Label them: Seller Buyer These lists are your business.

When a seller sends inventory: Don’t sit on it. Immediately: Ask for price + quantity Confirm product condition Take photos / spec sheets Push deal to buyers Message buyers like this: “Bulk deal available — 300 MacBooks, Grade A, $___ each. Let me know ASAP.” Speed wins. Whoever responds first gets priority.

This is powerful. Create a WhatsApp Business group for your buyers. Name it something like: Wholesale Electronics Deals Bulk Inventory Marketplace Daily Wholesale Drops Add your serious buyers. Now you can post inventory once — and everyone sees it. This becomes your personal trading floor. Rules: Only you post deals Buyers reply privately Remove inactive members You control the room.

Not everyone is real. Serious buyers: Ask pricing quickly Ask quantities Send payment fast or want to close Time-wasters ask endless questions. Focus on buyers who move money. Build relationships with them. They’ll come back.

Once buyer confirms: Lock price with seller Add your margin Send invoice Confirm payment Arrange shipment Don’t overthink. Wholesale moves on speed.
