I am approaching Christian T-shirts on a more modern and contemporary level for women. I am in the process of beginning cold calling and just want an idea of some information I will need to throw off the top of my head so that I don't get caught off guard. HELP ME PLEASE!! I am not much of a sales person so I just want to be prepared

Anyone have experience approaching stores with their designs?

Always set up a meeting with the purchaser or the owner of the store. Try to do it at a time the store is not too busy or preferably not inside the store, say an office or something. You dont wanna have to impress everybody, just one person is enough and trust me when your doing your sales pitch everybody will come over and give their own opinion.

if you can get in with these guys:

futura distribution

you'll be set.

they do apparel distro and they can get you into hundreds Christian Bookshops across America. I've considered contacting them but its not quite my market, although their catalog features some really old designs I've done for bands.

Hi Mimi - You already have a perfect opening line for your sales presentation - "I'm approaching Christian T-shirts on a more modern and comtemportay level for women (and I thought you might like to take a look)."

Very few will say no thank you to that opening - God bless

TripleT is right.

If you believe in your line and are ready to make your sales then you can't be caught off guard.

If something comes up that you can't answer don't take that as a negative. Sometimes the best way to learn is through experience.

I wish you the best.
