Ok I literally never comment on videos, but this has to be like the most helpful video I've watched in forever. I've been working on a product for 3 years now and have been stuck with how to go about manufacturing. This was a simple, clear explanation with super actionable insights. Thanks!

[@davidwelsh9805]

I just messaged you on linkedin Landon-I would love to see if I can help you manufacture what product you are working on

[@vonkanon3091]

I'm in the same spot as you. But Alibaba is the LAST place I want to take my idea. For starters, you'd have to hire a firm to oversee quality control and efficiency of production.

[@welshventuresfullservicepr7073]

@@vonkanon3091 hi Von. I would be curious to learn more about the parameters of your product needs and see if I my firm might be a good fit

[@NicholasGuccione]

I learned more here than business class in school, paid workshops, and convention lectures! Very valuable!

[@rlp2007]

As someone who has been in supply chain for almost 20 years, this video provides excellent information for sourcing products. There will be mistakes during this process is a very true statement, even with the most seasoned supply chain professional. Please do your homework; there are many pieces to this process in-between each item the video discusses, such as bid evaluations, detailed drawings and specifications, and logistics. You need to understand these items in greater detail along with the entire supply chain cycle.

[@luckhappy888]

I really love your videos. They are so helpful. I came across this video right at a time when I was going to think of questions to ask a manufacturer. Thank you!

[@antarahnarayan828]

This video was AMAZING! Thank you! One question though, you mentioned about 100% Quality control initially, but if we open the product that was meant for the customer , does it not make the product used before we could ship ?
