If I had to venture a guess - you don't seem to understand your marketplace. I don't mean you don't understand online sales - I mean you don't understand small growers (specialty nurseries).
I grew up around small growers (Near Lancaster, PA). Most of the growers I know don't really use the web for sales (or much of anything) - you might think that's good since that's what you are offering but that means in order to sell to them you first need to educate them on the web and then try to make the sale.
Grower's don't live and breath the internet like we do...by trying to sell them through email you have cut your chances of a sale to almost nil - you might want to try snail mail, a phone call or better yet a sales call in person in this case.
- MicahWedemeyer 17y agoYeah, I'm trying to build up the nerve to do some calling and in-person talking. And yes, many of them don't use the web for sales, but we're guessing they would if we could make it easy. We just need to convince a couple that it's worth the effort. Thanks for the tip!
- tyohn 17y agoIts not that hard to do cold calls - if you really believe in the product. Here's a little about how I started if you're interested - http://troyyohn.com/?q=node/31 http://troyyohn.com/?q=node/31 :)
