Surely a professional is better to ask.

There are several ways to go about it:\n\n1. Research existing publications. There is a publication called EUROPE TRADE DIRECTORY OF IMPORTERS (2006 edition), which consists of 3 printed volumes with 1,480 pages of 54,000 importers from Western and Eastern European countries. Check the commodities you are interested in and find out what countries these importers are located.\n\n2. Go to the embassies of the companies you are interested in dealing with. Embassies have trade attaches, and their goal is to promote trade within their country. They have listings of importers and exporters in their country. You can ask them for information on the importers of that particular commodity in your country.

As a general rule, seminars do not help me in my business, unless, there is an immediate need for the information and I can apply the information I acquire within the next couple of weeks or I am attending the seminar in order to "network" (meet business contacts).\n\nCurrently credit managment and financing my export shipment are not issues I have to deal with at this time.

If you are the seller, email the buyer with a heads up and explain. The emails free so use it, the result will be well worth your time.\n\nIf you are the buyer, contact the seller and get an answer.\n\nThe golden rule still applies: "Treat others as you would want to be treated"\n\nBe patient though, it's the holidays too!!

Start with a relevant education. \n\nBy this there are two areas:\n\nLearn your profession (trade or skill set); and\nLearn your company related topics.\n\nFrom there, efficient operation will be obvious.\n\nCheers, L

A good strategy is to find a source that will give you a good education on what you are buying, then take those insider terms and language and contact other vendors and act as if you really know the industry by utilizing the correct terms and language. Most often the best prices are given to experienced buyers. You can also try getting a couple of quotes and then communicating with all the vendors and let them know what everyone else has bid. This will often make them very competitive on price and get you your best deal. If price is not your motivation, try dealing with a trade association that represents the industry and ask them who a quality vendor is in that industry.

Start looking in the daily newspapers who is selling and who is buying,etc.  You have to zero in on what sort of real estate you want to trade, whether it is commercial or residential.  You may stick to residential to start with and that too your own nearby areas.  Keep a record of who is selling and buying.  In the U.S. there are specific courses to practice as a Real Estate Agent.  Moreover, have a commission declaration form ready.  In fact you can start simply by stating that you want to sell your premises and see how the others are doing.  Good luck.  As soon as you have become successful send me a thanks note !!!

From the perspective of someone in the US occasionally looking for suppliers abroad, think how they often search for business partners from other countries:\n\n1. Make sure your company is listed in databases kept by your trade attaches in your embassies. Many companies first go-to place when they want suppliers from abroad are the respective embassies of the countries they want to deal with. Contact your department of foreign affairs to check how to get your name in their listings.\n\n2. Be in databases such as Thomas Register Global http://www.tremnet.com  is the most complete, up-to-date directory of global industrial suppliers and product information\n\n3. Participate in international trade fairs supported by your government, whether based in Thailand or international. Trade shows are your best bet to meeting potential clients from other countries. Even if you don't advertise and can only do this, make sure you do trade shows. Trade shows can connect you to the right audience you need.

I know that YOU want to be their sole distributor.  However, it may be in their best interest to have more than one.  It's especially true now because you are new and unproven.\n\nI see only two options.\n\n1.  See if you can negotiate a sole distributorship in your region of the country.\n\n2.  Provide extra service or reduced costs for the manufacturer.  In other words, sweeten the deal.  They may have mentioned a fictitious competitor to get you to do this.  How good are you at bluffing at poker.\n\nIf neither is acceptable to them, either you will have competition or you will have to walk away from the deal.

Negotiating can be win-win. The mission is to find the middle ground. It's delicate and takes time to read what the other person really wants. Everyone wants something. Find out their "wants" and play to them. If you go into it with the mentality of "me first" you'll lose in the long run. Establishing a long term relationship is the best way to getting long-term results. Burn someone on a deal and it will cost you in the future.
