    The diamond trade is family. What you are faced with is a "You're
    only hiring people with experience, and I have none, so how do I get
    experience to be hired with experience?" type of conundrum. First
    off, get that listing in JBT. You won't get far without it. Plus the
    moment your name gets in the list, you'll start getting catalogues
    from everywhere. Then, if you have dealers in your area (you don't
    say where you are), put on some good clothes and go knock on their
    door. If they talk to you, you'll be on probation for awhile - no big
    memos, make sure you do everthing dot-and-dash, adhere to protocol,
    and just be a good boy in general - and pay promptly. If they won't
    talk to you, try someone else. If you need to go farther, do it with a
    professional looking cover letter, and do the same thing - introduce
    yourself, describe your needs. You probably have references from
    other suppliers (metals, tools) - mention those, too. Once you get a
    foot in the door, and you behave yourself, the rest is gravy...
