Tissue culture lab plants marketing

Ok im Canadian and I am a sales agent getting commission on sales of tissue cultured grown plants in india. The official website of the company is not very elaborated. The laboratory has a potential of making 100 000 plants a day. They have orchids, fast growing bamboos and all kind of nice plants. When buying over a thousand plants, the customer s price per plant, including shipping to Canada( or anywhere in the world!) is 1 dollar. Price may slightly vary depending on the plant. Now I just became friend with the scientific at the head of the lab and though he had great potential to sell plants in nurseries everywhere in the world basically. I contacted by phone a few big nurseries in Canada and they sounded interested and then I dont hear from the after I let them know of what is below... Customers may send any plants( some worth lots of money and hard to propagate) to get them multiplied in the desired amount. 13 months later the plants are ready to be shipped to the customers.- now that sounds good Now my boss wants 50 % of the money in advance from the customers, before he starts the tissue culture process. That is where its hard for me to have a customer trusting some lab in india whit thousands or millions of dollars, when their web site is not so good and I sound like a french canadian talking like im selling something for the first time of my life. LOL So there is quite an opportunity here and its about putting it out and making it trustable. Basically marketing it. Orchids sell for 35 dollars here and i can be selling them for one dollar( they will only flower a year later) Orchids were my first idea. There is no limits of types of plants or ammount to be created. This is NOT GMO technology, its growing a plant from a live piece, a cell. Its tissue culture. It would be so much easier to offer percentage on sales than paying, because i think there is a lot of work to do here. i am not advertised anywhere and I dont have a website about the plants. If you have a suggestion for me to kickstart this to spare myself some money before you start working on this, please let me know! Thank you ## Deliverables There is quite an humanitarian dimention in this project for me. The lab already makes 10 to 40 thousand plants a day. Mostly bamboo. its a very specific, perfect, high biomass producing bamboo. Perfect for absorbing carbon faster than almost anything. So helping to plant trees is what I want to accomplish while im here( on earth). He has already sent plants to every continent so he has a reputation somewhere. Im not sure if it would be better to refer customers to his website/ company with some device that would make it obvious it comes from me or to change the whole approach of his website first. If that makes sence...
