I run a small business in my country where I import and sell action figures. There’s this client who keeps asking me about how he can do the same thing I do—where to buy, etc. He’s mentioning that his contract with his current job is ending soon and he wants an additional source of income. Tbf this person has always seemed to have low social skills in the way he asks things but what do i know. I would say im the one with the best know-how in the market right now due to my knowledge of apps, automation, etc. My small business is currently my only source of income. What should I tell him? I want to be polite unlike him lol

    In such situations I like to overload people with information, 99% is useless, I add 1% to make it sound real. But, it’s not for everyone, but give it a go.

    Here’s an example, “whose your supplier” “Oh man, where do I start, I have so many. So, the X figures I have 8 in UK, but they’re constantly trying to rip me off & the shipping alone is killing me. I have 3-4 in China, they are competitive, but they tend to delay shipments without notice & the worst part is their customer service. The ones I liked were from Japan, great product, great people, a little pricey but the problem with them is the language. It’s caused so many confusions I can’t even list them all. Anyways, hope that useful, need to run”

    All this time your real suppliers are in the US.

    So, you could take the time to say all this, or just say sorry mate that’s confidential info.
