<< Hi John,

From your experience, what is the average amount of time it takes from
sourcing the product to actually getting your first order? What is the
breakdown of time for each phase from sourcing to delivery?

9 months would be typical... a week to dream up the product... 2-3 weeks to
get to the point where customers say it is a good idea and does not exist...
6 weeks to whittle down the potential suppliers and the samples... you know
what I think I am going to do... I am going to lay this out as a pert project
plan chart...with a budget... and make it available as a .pdf.. it's a good
question.. thanks... bug me in 2 weeks if you don't have it by then...

John
