Studying the Market

In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Where does one find a plotters equipment and supplies business founder outside of your area who is willing to talk?

No problem! Just use the link below and try a random city/state or zipcode. Then start dialing for advice until you are successful.
