How Much Does It Cost? $425 for one 8 hour day of learning and shopping with the Wholesale Shopping Ninja Michelle Minch. You get to spend the whole day with me and pick my brain!

What will I learn? You will learn why to buy wholesale, where to buy wholesale, when to buy wholesale, who the sales rep for your area is and how to buy wholesale. You'll learn how to read the price tags and what all the crazy codes mean, plus much more. We'll introduce you to our vendors, some of whom are not general knowledge.

What types of items can I buy?  You will learn how to buy furniture (case goods and upholstered), lamps, artwork, rugs and accessories.

Can I purchase on the class day? In order to keep things running smoothly and so we can cover as much ground as possible, no one will be able to order during class. We have a tight schedule. We will arm you with the contact info for the sales rep for your area. You will be able to return the next day to place your order.

What should I wear? Dress is business casual. Comfortable walking shoes are a must as you will be on your feet all day. Check the weather before you leave home. It will probably be very hot. We will be traveling to different showrooms, many of which are not in the same buildings.

What should I bring with me? Camera and/or mobile phone with camera, lots of business cards, small notebook and a pen.
