For the last four months I`ve been in the process of starting a building supply company. I have a truck that`s fully decaled, a website, accounting systems, one pallet of laminate flooring in self-storage, and a few thousand dollars.
I plan on getting some more flooring, some stone and some decking and selling it to contractor and landscaping companies. I plan on offering quantity discounts and on-site sample showings as value added services. However, this is a very competitive market and I would love it if someone in the industry could offer me some advice. How do I get clients? How should I approach them? How can I meet my bottom line?

Once the answer is yes, then I`d start with thinking about who and where your customers are. Cold calls, emails, mailings, ect. Maybe a booth at a trade show?
