I am trying to open retail account with wholsaler and not able to find good wholesaler. I did google search but no help. 

For sure a traditional retailer will no search it via google.  And my question is how do they find their wholesalers?

You will not find them on Google's search results as most of them don't have website. You need to search them on social media like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn etc. You can also try local directories to get details about traditional retailers.

Another option is also for you to join some communities online. These could be Facebook groups and other local forums where buyers and sellers meet. You can even post there what you need and local sellers without a website or even a Facebook page of their own would answer your thread to offer their products. Most of them will upload pictures and other details of what they're selling. Most of the time they are legit, they just really don't care about creating a website or even their own Facebook page. I said most because you really can't guarantee that everyone on Facebook is genuine selling items so just so you know. Always be wary of scammers and be alert in case you meet one.

I would say that this is mostly about the recommendations of the people who are in that business

There are many wholesalers on Facebook pages, Some brands have their official websites too. You can email them. But be aware of the scam too sometimes those sellers are broker. Who scam's us by looting our money.

This is true. I've been a victim of this a few times. You really have to research their background before starting to buy products from them. This is also the reason why I always look for sellers from local neighborhoods so I can always go and check them myself if their address and business are legit. Otherwise, they're usually just scammers.

 You can visit the website of a brand you would like to sell, there you can find links to wholesale information on the top or bottom of these sites.

Contact the wholesaler for more information regarding qualifications, order minimums, pricing or terms.

The application process may be straightforward, though wholesalers of more elite brands could make it more difficult for you to qualify as a reseller, at least while your business is still new.
