    Sounds like a decent plan of attack. Keep some notes as to what is and is not working. Then refine or expand your plan as needed to increase business. Approaching businesses should involve some prepreations ahead of time but on going suppliers are great to have. I would much rather deal with the same business 100 times than 100 different individuals.

    Think about the service you are providing not the value of the items. Do or do not...there is no try.

    This is good advice!

    Also be sure to promote the fact you are saving the Earth! That is the way to win people over these days.
