The Challenge

Leave the agent model in the past

The double-dip

You pay the agent. The factory pays them too.

Months of cold outreach

Finding and vetting factories takes months. No guaranteed outcome.

Status cards for three factories showing steps and no response or rejected outcomes with a no guaranteed outcome warning.

Hidden markups

You see a unit cost. You don't see the difference.

Blue price tag showing unit cost $12.50 and a breakdown of hidden costs including duties, taxes, agent, and shipping fees.

Recommendations aren't neutral

The factory paying the highest kickback gets recommended first.
