Should I Have a Website?

[Christian Brown]

Hey guys I'm wondering what your thoughts are on having/starting a basic website as a new wholesale business; initially for the purpose of credentials? I know that some people might not find a business/person credible without a site for verification. On the other hand there's a good argument for saying that the website gives a seller an excuse/reason to stall. "Let me checkout your site first and then...." What are some thoughts out there.I would love to hear any relatable experiences.

It is beyond me why wholesalers don't put 90% of their effort into their website. When you want to buy or sell something, do you wait for some random person to call you? Do you respond to postcards in the mail or texts from numbers you can't even call back? Seriously, how many car warranty calls have you gotten and how many car warranties have you actually bought from them?

The answer is no, when you want to buy or sell something, you go to your phone or computer. You do a Google search to find what you are looking for or you list what you are selling on a web page.

Name one legitimate company in the world that doesn't have a website and use it for their customers? This is why many wholesalers lack credibility. They are using the "door to door salesman" method in the digital age. It may still work on older people, but even people in their 80's now use a smartphone proficiently.

Build a website and focus your energy on tools to optimize search engine placement. You can automate your lead generation instead of cold calling a thousand people who don't want to talk to you.
