Today we’d like to introduce you to Eldad Tehrani.
Hi Eldad, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I am a first-generation Iranian-American in my Family. I had the luxury of learning hard work and patience through my family’s Hardship. We and many Iranians did not come to America with anything more than a hand full of things, but we did grow strong and together.
My brothers and sister went to college while me being the American born did not have a passion for college. Having parents that were struggling I knew my story would not be the same growing up, I had a passion for business and a good mindset for it. I decided to pass on college and have been working since 2009 after I got my GED and a brief stint in college.
I got my first real opportunity to do sales for a wholesale company that specialized in consumer electronics. After 7 years of hard work and growth, being the leading sales manager for the company I was ready to take my talents and build my own empire in similar fields. In 2016, Worldwide suppliers was formed, we did wholesaling of Brand named goods while Retailing on Amazon, but the pandemic hit and I knew the world was shifting fast. After a brief trip to Istanbul I had a sudden epiphany with opportunity in mind as the pandemic was looming in the USA and things were about to change in the industry and the way people groomed. I knew I had greater purpose in store for me, an opportunity to grow my own brand. I came up with Supreme Trimmer and After years of selling brand names Trimmers, Clippers & Shavers, for other companies I decided to take that experience in products, online sales, product creation, sales and distribution and teach my own team how to create a product from scratch with the power of social media and the skills I accumulated over the years. Since then we have managed to grow a community and army of Barbers that enjoy our product and taste. The line of business we are in is VERY competitive, but we are doing well and looking forward to sharing some market share in our industry with some of the top dogs.
With the launch of our first product, a Trimmer called T Shaper which can be found on Amazon today, we managed to grow our business and shift out of wholesale distribution completely. Now we have 3-5 more products in the pipeline with 15+ Trademarks in our possession. We are expanding into EU, UK, TR, AU, MX and many other countries around the world as we continue to emerge in the market. The sky is the limit for the brand, and we look forward to sharing in-depth my story. If I can create a brand from scratch during a pandemic without ever meeting my suppliers in China, with hard work and perseverance anyone can do it.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Nothing was smooth, I had to learn a new process and way of doing business The struggles are never-ending, the challenges are changing daily with new problems arising whether it’s domestic or international partners. Product quality is a challenge, communicating with suppliers in opposite time zone and adjusting to a new way or thinking and a new way of creating an income for yourself. Shifting from wholesale to becoming a manufacturer is a completely different world, but my experience goes hand in hand. Lots of experience is required to handle products and to prevent mistakes while creating products and trying to launch off social media while convincing people to carry your product. Cash flow is very imminent in todays economy.
We’ve been impressed with Supreme Trimmer, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Our Company offers a fresh look into what the future holds for barbers and home use Trimmer users. Our products are creative and “outside of the box” when it comes to ordinary. We try to give customers Value based on what products we provide and our price point which is aggressive. Our mission is to make sure people can afford Professional Products who cannot afford to pay double for something that functions similarly. We try to bring a fresh new mentality in a space that has been dominated by few brands over the past 100 years. We are the underdog, We are the trendsetters and will hopefully become leaders in the industry. Our ideas and way of thinking is a different approach and method from our competition. Our T Shaper which is available on Amazon has been complimented by many regarding how safe and quiet it is for people with children with special abilities like Autism. Our low-noise products don’t scare Children which times are often scary vibrations from Clippers and Trimmers. T Shaper is Safe for Kids, it’s safe for adults, it’s affordable and looks ever so luxury. We offer people competitive products with competitive pricing. We are the new kids on the block, and we look forward to sharing some of our future ideas that haven’t been done yet.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was always business-minded, the funny guy and at times a trouble maker. That molded me to become a well-rounded gentleman. I was into sports and after-school activities. I ended up going to three elementary schools, two middle schools and three high schools. As a result, I know a lot of people in my community (the valley) which is where I was born and raised. As a youngster I enjoyed being around people older than myself which gave me a head start to learn certain things in life at an earlier age.
