How To Start An Import Export Business

Approximately 70% of the information and resources in this course are proprietary which means you "will not" find them anywhere else - they are unique.  In regards to the other 30% of the information, yes, you may be able to find them on your own, however, our course will show you how to use this information, tell you if it is worth your time and what is not. You are not going to find this type of time-saving insight in any other resource available.  What is your time worth?

This import export training package presumes you have no previous experience in international trade, but even if you do, you will benefit from the proprietary information contained in this course. Your secret to success is developing a plan that is tailored to your interests, skills and background. That is what this course will show you how to do.

This international business course is based on multiple sources of international trade experience, including our own, our publisher's, the course customer's and other people with whom they have worked over the past 20 years.  The course information is constantly updated to reflect not only changes in resources, websites, but to reflect new concerns, discoveries and questions from previous customers.

This import export training course, unlike any other that is out there, is a work in process because it reflects not only what our publisher and we know but also what has been learned from other new traders. If a question is asked by previous course customers more than once on the same subject, the answer will always be included in future updates or explained better if it is already included.

In the 18 years of working with our publisher, they tell me that fewer and fewer questions about the nuts-and-bolts international trade information are being asked by customers via the one year email consulting part of the course. This is a clear indication that people are finding the answers they need in the course materials.

Having been in the business over 22 years and owning one of the oldest, registered international trade web sites on the Internet (check our 11-15-1999 created date here) I can tell you that just about every publisher of import export training materials and books have asked us to offer their resource on this web site.  Based on that 22+ years of experience, this course represents the very best international trade training course available.  

But, Will You Or Your Course Guarantee International Trade Success?

Answer:  NO, absolutely NOT!

If any company, individual or course purveyor states they GUARANTEE your success, please follow this advice - grab onto your wallet and RUN LIKE HELL!

One of the BIGGEST downfalls I see of people who are considering international trade is their inability to make decisions based on SOUND research.  MOST dreamers want someone else to do all the work and make all the decisions that will allow them to collect their riches without any RISK, just the REWARDS.

Not wishing to take up a lot of space here for information that I have published on our blog, you are encouraged to visit our Import Export Business blog and read the Questions and Answers that have been posted there over the past few years.  They are listed as dated archives on the right side of the blog, but to start your research, here is a link that will take you to the posts that 'some' of the most important you should read before going forward - Import Export Business Decisions (if you are serious about this business - be prepared to spend hours reading the valuable questions and answers that have been posted there).

Now for those of you who have stuck with us through the blog posts and this long web page, here is..... 

Your First Lesson And International Trade Resource
(And It Is FREE!)

This first (and free) lesson in how to start an import export business "and" succeed at it reveals to you the importance of performing "Due Diligence" on the people and businesses you are considering doing business with both domestically and internationally.

Webster dictionary defines "Due Diligence" as follows:
"Research and analysis of a company or organization done in
preparation for a business transaction"

You might be asking, why are you bringing up "due diligence" at this point?

The answer is easy. Due diligence is being discussed to help you make the most informed decision possible about which 'start an import export business' course will be best for you.

But Why is Due Diligence So Important?

First, if you are unwilling to perform due diligence research on who you get your import export training from, then you need to sit down and really think about how serious you are about succeeding in international trade.

Second, because as the Internet has grown so rapidly, so too has the number of training providers and just like international business and trade, you need to be "EXTREMELY" careful with whom you deal.

Third, as an example of how important due diligence research is to even a small business, like ours, it has saved us from losing between $750,000 and $1 million dollars from fraudulent orders since 2001.

What Is The Long Term Value Of This Free Lesson?

If saving one's business from $750,000+ in fraudulent orders does not say enough about the long term value, there probably isn't much else that you can be shown that will convince you how valuable a lesson it is.

Performing due diligence on the persons and companies you are considering doing business with, whether it is buying from, selling to or acting as an agent for, is 'extremely' important.  And, at this stage, it is extremely important for you to choose the best training course.

In making this extremely important decision, you must be diligent in determining the reliability of who is providing your course and what you are really getting for your investment of both money and time.  How valuable was your time in earning the funds you are going to expend for a course? How valuable is the time you will spend learning from that course??  And, last how valuable is your future?

You 'do not' need to be certified or have a certificate on your wall to succeed in the importing or exporting business.  Before you spend thousands of dollars on "any" import export business training program, use the resources linked to below to investigate each one you are considering (and that includes us) but understand there are some of them have changed their names every 3-4 years for the past 12 years.

If you mistakenly believe that some off the shelf "certificate" will help you succeed in international trade, then call a couple of US federal or state government offices involved in international trade (like the US Department of Commerce or your state's economic development department) and ask them if they recognize "any" company's certificate or 'certification' for the international trade business?

Anyone can buy a computer program that will print out fancy looking certificates and place your name in the blank space making it appear very official. These "highly expensive feel good" pieces of paper are offered because many people are under the mistaken belief that a certificate on their wall will somehow convey an extra level of confidence or credibility to a potential client.

Granted, some people may feel more confident about themselves by having a certificate on the wall but, quite frankly, it isn't going to mean squat to a company owner or president when (and if) you bring it up to him or her in a conversation.

An old saying goes something like "that piece of paper (your certificate) and a $1.39 will buy you a cup of coffee at the local mini-market"

A little off track there, but this is a pet peeve - especially when several of the people who have spent thousands of dollars on one or more of these programs end up calling here and asking for help.

Had these folks gotten the right course to start an import export business (and saved themselves thousands of dollars) they would have everything they needed, both now and in the future.  They would have had all their questions answered, had proprietary training materials unavailable through any other source and a lifetime library of international trade resources always available 24/7 on their computer.

The point here is, yes, you may very well be able to find "some" of the information you need to start an import export business on the Internet for free, but what is your time worth to do the research to find it?  Your time is valuable and much better spent "LEARNING" what has already been researched and compiled for you and, quite frankly, there is "MUCH" information and resources contained in the toolkit that you will "NOT" find anywhere else.
