Does anyone here currently sell carpet/hardwood/tile? I'm looking into starting a sales division for this but curious what the profit margins are when getting it straight from the manufacturer??

I sold it for years. My margins were low. Not by choice. Volume was key. Lots of volume ...

Sales only or you offering installation too? 30% is the normal...

How do you go about getting setup to sell carpet? Who did you call? Did you have to inventory a certain amount of product to get the whole sale pricing?

Ben can contact me live. This is not a conversation that should be public at all.

Just because someone asks a question on this forum does not demand you share information with them in a public forum. People are fools sometimes the things they share here. Why tell your competitors what might take them years to figure out. This isn't a charity its business. Not trying to be a ass. Just being open lots of guys would feel the same.

That's why nothing I say is ever remotely helpful. Most is just outright lies.
