Hi,

I used to be a area manager for a large well known skincare company. When some one enquired about our products we would send them out an info pack and then follow it up with a phone call call and try to book a presentation with you. this would be about an hours appt at your premises where we would run through the range, prices, orders, deals, etc etc - basically tell you everything you need to know.

You will be able to buy all the products at wholesale price, but most companies expect you take a opening deal - usually around £2000 -£5000+
There after you can normally order what you want when you want but your rep would explain all this in the presentation.

Best thing to do is pick companies you like, ring them and ask for some info, they will lead you from there.

Top skin care companies (including my old one ;0) )

Elemis
Dermologica
Guinot
Espa
Matis
Decleor
Darphin

Get as much info off them as you can then you can decide what reps to see - just remember there is no pressure, if after your not interested just say no - its just another days business to the rep

Hope that helps xxx
