You are here because...
  • You are an entrepreneur and would love to start your own promotional products business....part-time or full-time.

  • You own a "B2B" company with business clients & customers and you understand you are losing significant extra profits for your business because you are not selling promotional products.

Congratulations! You’ve come to the right place!

  • LET'S TALK ABOUT THE INVESTMENT

    HOW DOES FREE SOUND?
    Your WEBSITE & RESEARCH PLATFORM are paid for by our SUPPLIER GROUP - not you
    To connect to the platform there is a "one-time-only" enrollment fee of $745.00.
    This covers your CONNECTION and your COACHING SUPPORT by DISTRIBUTORS FIRST.
    A complete business for next to nothing!

    Let's talk about the money...

    If you have investigated this industry before, you've already learned about ASI & PPAI-SAGE. These are "gateway service providers" for promotional products distributors.

    They set the policies for industry membership...who gets approved to be a distributor and who doesn't.

    It's a "Catch-22"

    To qualify you have to prove you are already a distributor selling promotional products.

    You will be asked for your distributor credentials.

    You have to submit multiple "third-party" customer invoices as proof, that meet their minimum requirements.

    You have to demonstrate that you have multiple supplier references.

    These are things hard to prove when you want to be a distributor ... but are not a distributor.

    It's like your first job..."I'd love to hire you...but you have no experience." And you wonder how will you ever get experience if nobody hires you.

    This is why....

    The industry uses a "closed distribution system" to protect itself from "end-buyers" (customers) who want to buy supplier direct.

    Essentially, you have to prove you are not a customer looking to save money on your own purchases.

    That's why you have to "qualify" to become a distributor.

    If you can meet the industry requirements, and be approved, that's when the industry reaches into your pocket to charge you annual membership fees & technology subscription fees to connect you to their platform.

    You can expect your fees to average between $1,000 per year to $2,000 or more per year depending on what services you buy.

    ---

    What kind of income is possible for distributors?

    My disclaimer about how much money you can make is simple:

    It depends mostly on how you apply yourself to your new business.

    Can you make a couple of thousand dollars a month? - It's here for you. You want more? It's here for you as well. This is a very profitable industry.

    There are no guarantees. If you work your business and apply youself, whatever your goals...they are attainable.

    Distributors First provides all the tools you need with a support foundation that you can rely on.

    For 23+ years I have been coaching and supporting new distributors. It's what I do. From the sidelines of your business...I help you win!

    For the B2B company investigating this, you already know the majority of your business clients buy promotional products, from somebody else - other distributors, dealers or maybe even your competitors...

    Those profits could easily by your profits!

    If your clients only knew they could buy their promotional products from you...they would.

    Problem solved.
    Profits in your bank!
    Win-Win!

    There has NEVER been a more focused, powerful or profitable plarform for new distributors than the Distributors First Gateway.

    If you are sincere in your investigation, explore this website. Read every word. This site is "content-rich".

    Don't let what you don't know or what you think you know, prevent you from learning more about starting or expanding your business.

    Is there a risk? No, not really.

    Be a "glass is half-full" person. Your "ROI" can literally happen with 1 or 2 "average" orders!

    It could easily happen with just one order! Really!

    "When there is nothing to lose by trying, and a great deal to gain if successful, by all means try. Do It Now!"

    [Make sure you read the flip signs "The Old Way" and "The New Way" and "Why Distributors First?"]

    And then, let's connect so we can get you on your way to a great income and a great lifestyle.


    10 days from when you read this, you could be fully engaged in your new "lifetime" venture.

  • The "Old Way"

    Impossible Membership Requirements to meet, encumbered with
    ANNUAL FEES for Membership & Research / Website Subscriptions
    Securing Competent Support for your business can be difficult
    High costs of Franchises & Business Opportunities
    Royalties to pay
    Dealership Profit Splits

    HERE'S WHAT YOU ARE UP AGAINST

    Left to your own devices the traditional ways of starting a distributorship are encumbered with tremendous expense and frustration.

    Here are your options:

    1. Buy a FRANCHISE: Investment in the tens of thousands of dollars.
    10%+ royaties to pay on your gross sales (equal to 20%+ of your net earnings).
    Forever.
    Industry Fees for Membership & Tech Subscriptions. ($1,000 - $2,000+/-) annually.

    2. Buy a Business Opportunity:
    Usually comes with costly printing equipment.
    Requires Inventory & Supplies
    Often requires Overhead, Employees, etc.
    Industry Fees for Membership & Tech Subscriptions. ($1,000 - $2,000+/-) annually.

    3. Buy a Dealership:
    A dealer is not a distributor, they work for a distributor. A dealer is a 1099 sales rep. The dealership cost is minimal, but the profit splitting with the distributor is HUGE = 50%.
    Losing half of your profits on every order is too much to lose, too much to pay

    4. "DIY" (Do It Yourself):
    You are on your own
    Undefined Costs
    Unexpected Costs
    No real Support System
    Complex Industry
    Industry Fees for Membership & Tech Subscriptions. ($1,000 - $2,000+/-) annually
    High Frustration Experience
    High Failure Rate

    5. The Industry Itself
    The industry has a million moving parts: Suppliers, Products, Vendors, Service Providers, Teachers, Trainers. How do you connect the dots? Who do you know? Who do you trust?

    6. The "Closed Distribution System"
    You have to prove a negative...that you are already selling promotional products, when you aren't.

    If you can’t provide the "industry-proof" required (multiple invoices in multiple client names, a history of working with suppliers, etc.) you won’t be "QUALIFIED" to be a distributor.

    ---

    What you don't know about the industry...can and will hurt you.

    If you can do it right, you can build a successful business. If you do it wrong, you will experience frustration and regrets.

    You can be certain that...

    "If there's time enough to do it wrong...there's time enough to do it right!

    We are here to help you do it right...the first time!

  • The "New Way"

    *eCommerced enabled Website(s) showcasing hundreds of thousands of products -

    Why use their OLD industry business model...when there is a NEW platform to become an independent distributor?

    • B2B? - Significantly increased gross revenues, more PROFITS, from servicing your existing business clientele.
    • NO ROYALTIES OR COMMISSION SPLITS WITH ANYONE.
    • No ANNUAL FEES for Memberships or Technology Subscriptions (Savings of up to $2,000+ every year).
    • NO ADDITIONAL FEES to Distributors First – Our platform enrollment is a one-time-only investment.
    • WHAT IS FREEDOM? ~ If someone gives you freedom...you are not free. Freedom only comes by individuals challenging and changing their pasts to create their freedom. Freedom is not a gift. Freedom is a choice. Freedom is an action. "Freedom is a gift you give yourself!"
  • Simple answer...not much. About the cost of an average laptop computer. Actually, your total cost for our complete "promotional products distributor platform" is just a one-time-only enrollment of $745.00 - which includes your website, research platform, our industry connections with complete platform support.

    No Industry Memberships to pay for. No Technology Subscriptions to buy.

    This is a life-time business with a one-time-only enrollment. "No more than an average laptop computer!"


  • Industry Facts: Average size order is $1,000.00 ($400 profit for you) ~ A couple of orders a week can change the trajectory of your life!

    Industry Facts: Average profits on sales - 40%

    Part-time income - several thousand $$$ per month +/-. $2,000 - $3,000 - $4,000 or more a month. Many distributors do!

    Full-time income - five & six figure incomes are the "norm"

    Average annual distributor sales three years in = $400,000+ per year - $150,000 - $160,000 +/- annual distributor profits

    90% of clients become repeat buyers! Repeat orders bring growth and stability to your income

    Industry Facts: Clients buy on average 2 to 6 times year depending on their promotional needs

    It's a 24-billion-dollar industry

  • Say you sell $100,000 worth of promotional products each year...many distributors do just that and more.

    Average Profit of 40% = $40,000 gross profit to your business ($3,000 +/- per month).

    *5 & 6 Figure incomes in the Ad Specialties and Promotional Products industry is the "norm" for distributors.
    *The largest distributors in the industry sell MILLIONS of DOLLARS per year.

    I prefer to be conservative when discussing your income potential. Anyone can punch in HUGE numbers on a computer! I choose not to.

    So let me reduce this to the ridiculous: It will only take 1-2 average client orders to completely recoup your investment to start and establish your new LIFETIME business! That's it...

    A 100% "ROI" could be yours in a matter days...not weeks, months or years! It could even happen with just one order!

    Like I said before..."about the cost of an average laptop computer"...

  • Why wait? Pick up the phone and give me a call. Let’s get all your questions answered. We can have your business solidly in place, “shingle hung” on your door in as little as 10 - 14 days. Then the excitement begins.

Bottom Line?

You need Distributors First. In fact, you can't make these industry connections without us.

The "old" business model still works, if you can qualify, and if you have thousands of dollars to invest in their fees to support their systems.

Distributors First has cleared the way with this new, "independent" platform. that has NO fees. Anything less is a costly step backwards, not forwards....

Truth? The old industry-based "Membership & Subscription Fees" business model ... is antiquated. It's "their system"...

Distributors First is "your independent system" ~ the shortest distance between where you are now and where you want to be, where you could be, whether you are an entrepreneur "start-up" or an established B2B company.

You've come this far. Take the next step. Give yourself the permission and the freedom of making this change in your life. . If you're serious...we're serious, too.

We are on the sidelines of your business, helping you achieve your goals...which is what you were hoping for when you first reached out.
