However, it’s really easy to annoy buyers when you are first venturing out and selling to stores.

Gaining trust with prospects or stores that are learning about you takes time and smart techniques.
When I first started out, I was doing all of the sales on my own and making some really annoying mistakes in the process, which I am sure I totally repelled buyers.
And no one wants to repel a buyer!
