When considering importing
products from China or the Far East,
we know that you -you may be
considering someone else, or doing it yourself. So let
us suggest a few questions that it would be extremely
useful for you to get honest answers to: (and
allow us to tell you how we would answer these
difficult questions)
 |
Will
you undertake to not sell this newly sourced
product to my competitors?
- there is
nothing more frustrating than successfully sourcing a new
or existing product with a good profit margin, only to
have your supplier or agent immediately
seek out your direct competitors and sell to
them too. We
have a strict policy of only ever dealing
with one customer in each market. |
 |
Do I have to pay a
consultancy fee, regardless
of if you fail to find the right deal?
We do not charge anything up front - if there
is no deal then there is no cost. |
 |
What
quality guarantees will I have? - we check out
factories, we always deal with a sample and
specification, and make sure this factory makes
the item, and regularly makes this item too. We
will then get the goods inspected on agreed
points befoe shipment. So we reduce risk all the
time: and if at the end of the day
there are problems, we will work with you and the supplier to
resolve the issue. It is only if there
are problems that you see the calibre of the
people you are dealing with. We have integrity. |
 |
Who is a typical
customer?
Our most
frequent customers are companies who are looking
to find an item, and either have been unable
to find it themselves or are too busy to
give it their full attention and just want it
done, or apprehensive. They already have customers
for the product, know what it is, and are
looking for someone to handle this, remove
the risk, and just get it over for them. Almost
acting as part of their own team.
Sometimes the products are new items they
want to add to their range, other times, it
is just existing price pressure that is forcing
them to consider changing their present process.
The size of the company will vary, from perhaps
as small as £500,000 T/O upto large
multinationals. Typically £10,000,000
T/O, though new start up’s are not uncommon.
A typical client will say yes to all of these
7 questions –
- Do you have a specification?
- Have you a target price?
- Is this price realistic?
- Do you know how many you
want, and when a reorder is likely?
- If we find the items meeting the specification
and target price, are you ready to go ahead
immediately?
- Is this project important, and
has to go ahead?
- Do you look at us as a long term partner
with you? |
