"One of those hard calls that nothing in business school can prepare you for."
Do you really need a business school education to see that this was a mess right from the beginning, though?
It sucks for the small business owner, but at the same time...if you sign one of the largest contracts of your businesses life and are not even sure that you are selling individual bags of coffee or cases of bags of coffee...
No business school is going to help that level of dumb...

- AlbertCory 4y agoOk. I was being charitable to them. Naïve people get themselves into this stuff all the time.
- corgi609 4y agoIf you read, the contract was not for the goods, the contract was about the policies of getting paid. The units was an estimate from the distributor about what was going to be needed later. There wasn't a contract about the goods. That's not how it works with a distributor anyways. The distributor is invoiced for the goods that they order, as they order them, and if you read the story, there were several orders. There is not a contract for all of the goods.
