I run a small business in my country where I import and sell action figures. There’s this client who keeps asking me about how he can do the same thing I do—where to buy, etc. He’s mentioning that his contract with his current job is ending soon and he wants an additional source of income. Tbf this person has always seemed to have low social skills in the way he asks things but what do i know. I would say im the one with the best know-how in the market right now due to my knowledge of apps, automation, etc. My small business is currently my only source of income. What should I tell him? I want to be polite unlike him lol
Some are suggesting that he become a dealer for you, but sounds like he would be more of a pain to deal with. So my suggestion would be to pass and let him figure it out himself unless you can find a way to make it financially beneficial to you.
Mind you, you have a special sauce no doubt he can’t replicate so I wouldn’t be afraid if he became a competitor.
