Not all suppliers are created equal. This critical step helps you filter out unreliable vendors and avoid scams.

  • Ask for factory audits or quality certifications (e.g., ISO 9001).
  • Evaluate their communication and professionalism.
  • Never skip this verification step in your procurement process.

Step 3

Negotiation & Product Sampling

Effective negotiation and sample validation are key to securing a good deal and ensuring your product vision is understood.
