There was a time I wanted to go into the wine business. Maybe I will still do it. I spoke to a big wine brand you all have heard of. They said they would produce for me and I can put my brand on it.

But puff puff seller...
Rather than channeling the energy towards whether the reseller is right or wrong, the energy should go into solidifying the arrangement. People will rather concentrate on the drama around the story rather than look for ways to make the small chops business grow.
If you have read my book, Small Business Big Money, you will know how much I teach people to focus on the market. Anyone can fry puff puff. Anyone can make meat pie. Anyone can import used phone to sell. But not anyone can find a market to sell them.
As a small business, be a student of market and not a student of products. That makes that reseller very valuable. Extremely valuable. For being able to resell even at a higher price although she went about it the wrong way. That value, must be explored.
That value must be explored. Stop the lamentation. People are just looking for contents to entertain them. Fete the reseller but tell her what she did was wrong. Come up with an arrangement on supplying her. Use style to learn from her how she is able to sell at a higher price.
The lessons will help you in selling your own brand. And who knows, maybe at the end of the day, you can become a supplier to other small chops seller who then will put their names. You can even move your business brand from selling to the public to selling to resellers.
Be wise.
