00:10:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the importance of working with reputable suppliers in dropshipping to maintain brand reputation and ensure customer satisfaction. They emphasise the need for suppliers who offer quality products and fast delivery times to avoid tarnishing branding and dealing with unhappy customers.

They advocate for the latter, which allows for a sustainable business with a great reputation. The speaker also explains the process of finding the right UK suppliers and advises on choosing a niche before searching for suppliers. They mention the importance of validating a niche market and observing other dropshipping retailers in that niche to identify suitable suppliers.

00:15:00 In this section, the hosts discuss the importance of finding dropshipping suppliers in the UK. They advise that once you have validated your niche and confirmed that suppliers in that niche are willing to dropship, it is crucial to approach the suppliers professionally and communicate the right message. The hosts recommend meeting suppliers face to face if possible, as it builds trust and shows your commitment. However, they acknowledge that this may not always be feasible, so the next best option would be a phone call or video meeting. They also emphasise the advantage of choosing a specific niche and working with suppliers who are already familiar with dropshipping, as it ensures a higher conversion rate and easier collaboration. By starting with suppliers who are already dropshipping, you can quickly gain momentum and then expand your list of suppliers as needed.

00:20:00 In this section, the speaker emphasises the importance of making a strong initial outreach to potential suppliers. They advise introducing your business and highlighting how you can increase their sales. It's crucial to focus on the supplier's needs and show them the benefits of working with you.

The speaker also suggests being prepared to answer questions about pricing, lead time, return policy, and more. They stress the importance of approaching suppliers as a 50/50 partnership, where both parties benefit. Lastly, once the conversation is successful and the supplier is interested, the speaker advises asking for account opening forms and discussing margins. They suggest showing commitment by generating sales first and then negotiating better prices based on the supplier's willingness to increase margins. The speaker also recommends setting up a follow-up call to review the sales and demonstrate the potential for growth. By presenting yourself as a valuable partner, you increase the chances of successfully signing UK dropshipping suppliers.

00:25:00 In this section, the hosts discuss common mistakes people make when contacting suppliers and offer advice on how to avoid them. Some mistakes include not having a limited company in place, using unprofessional contact details like a personal email address or mobile number, and lacking knowledge about the niche and the supplier's products. They emphasise the importance of establishing trust and credibility by showing genuine interest in the supplier and having prepared answers to frequently asked questions. Additionally, they stress the need for a solid marketing plan to demonstrate value to the supplier. A professional email and phone number, along with knowledge about the industry, can make a significant impact on the initial impression made on the supplier.

00:30:00 In this section, the host mentions a funny sales trainer on YouTube named Benjamin Delta who has great videos on getting past gatekeepers.

00:35:00 In this section, the hosts answer a question from a listener about Google Ads. They explain that Google Ads are powerful because they offer intent-based advertising to customers who are actively searching for something.
