Tips to Become Cell Phone and Accessories Distributor

Buying a cell phone is not an easy job today. The wide variety of choices available in the market makes it even more confusing. Therefore starting a cell phone and accessories business will indeed be a profitable one. It is a very competitive field and distributing or selling them requires a good knowledge of handling both the clients and other competitors.

There are a number of franchises that sell accessories. There are many cell phone stores that are seemingly increasing in number. The internet is also filled with online stores that have deals and discount offers almost every day. It is an overwhelming task to start a good business in the midst of such a tough panel of competitors and survive successfully in the field.

Finding an ideal location

The first step in starting a business is choosing an ideal location. Saving money is an important criterion here. One can rent retail space or rent a kiosk in a high traffic area. This attracts public attention. Further one must avoid areas that already have other mobile phones and accessory stores.

Setting up the store

Once a location is selected, the store can be set up. One has to spend considerable time and money to purchase racks, shelves, credit card terminal and cash register. A merchant account has to be opened with credit card providers. The store that is set up must be listed in all the directories of malls and in business directories.

Becoming a distributor

Once the business is established, one can become a distributor also. To do this, one has to obtain a license for doing business and then register with the tax officials in the state or country as the law requires. This enables collection of sales tax and submission to the revenue department. Then contact can be established with the manufacturers who will have certain requirements that the prospective distributor has to meet.  A territory is assigned once the distributor status is granted.

Contacting data service providers is the next step. Further cell phone and accessories carriers pay a certain amount for each cell phone contract that is sold. The cell phones sold and the service providers must be compatible. All the requirements laid out by the carriers should be met. These must be taken into consideration while setting up the business itself. Some providers want its distributors to have shops offering an excellent class of service while others can work with small businesses.
