Need to make sure I have someone who will buy from me first

That was the toughest thing for me. I had to completely build a whole new customer base for my company. I went from selling to M&M’s, Coca-Cola, Tropicana, McCormick, Bayer, Gatorade, Snapple, etc. with my former employer to pursuing small to mid-sized companies that I could actually make some profit with. It was very stressful that first year.
