Meeting with Wal-Mart buyers

Steps to Meet a Wal-Mart Buyer:

Check for Walmart stores and superstores. You have to obtain a Dun and Bradstreet D-U-N-S number. One may get this number, from the Dun and Bradstreet website. Visit DNB.com and click on the bar “Get a D&B D-U-N-S Number", located at the top of the page. Enter your company name and location in the box “Getting Started” and click to continue to this page. This process is called as sign up process. To complete the setup, D & B operator will call you. A telephone counselor will help you to correct your D&B credit report. To become a supplier at Wal-Mart, you must be prepared to send a D&B Supplier Evaluation Report to Wal-Mart. You can discuss any issue with D & B credit rating. Before selling, check whether you sell product nationally or locally. If you sell them nationwide, confirm that if it is a resale item or a non-resale or service item. After that, collect your UPC barcode label and join the Uniform Code Counselor GS1 US as a partner connection member to gain GS1 company prefix and to assign numbers to barcodes. Now, you should complete online resale application or service or non–resale PDF application to apply nationally. Fill PDF completely by online, print and sign it. To sell locally, you can obtain a form from the store general manager also. You can request a certificate of insurance, COI from your business insurance agent and also request Wal-Mart be listed as the additional insured and certificate holder. Prepare a valid sample for the buyer. Send him one version of the product of 25 lbs. and 3 feet square. If you have large size items, describe them in a document. Wait until buyer contact you for meeting.
