Now for those of you who consider yourself part of the first three groups, you need to begin your quest by reading every word and following every link on this web page. By doing so, you will discover how you and your business can share in this growth industry called international trade. Planning to launch an international business career can be likened to planning a trip around the world Think of starting an import export business just like you are setting out on a trip around the world. Imagine the excitement and anticipation of going to new places and seeing new things in places you have never been or ever thought you would visit. You will discover that learning how to start an import export business can be exciting and filled with adventure. If you were planning a worldwide travel adventure, wouldn't you begin by first learning about where you wish to go, what you want to see and mapping out a plan so you get the most from your trip? The Start an Import Export Business toolkit is your comprehensive plan or roadmap to help you reach your destination or in this case, your success in international trade or the enhancement of your international business career. Exports From The United States Are Growing Four Times Faster Than Our Gross Domestic Product Did you know that the fastest growth of exports over the last 10 years has been from small and mid-sized companies? That is about $200 Billion a year or more than 30% in the last ten years and in many other countries it is growing even faster. There is a surprise hidden in all those statistics (one that is possibly your ticket to international trade success): most small to medium sized companies are not exporting their products. Now for those of you located outside the USA, you may be wondering if the toolkit is just a roadmap someone located in the USA. The good news for you is that the start an import export business toolkit is a roadmap to how international trade is conducted worldwide and the import export processes are basically the same throughout the world. International trade works both ways People, in general, love buying products from other countries. Just like people here in the United States love buying products from other nations, people in other nations love buying products with the label stating "Made in the USA". Billions of dollars in merchandise and goods are being exchanged each day in the global marketplace. People from all walks of life, just like you, are making the transactions that result in these exchanges and sharing in the profits available from this dynamic marketplace. Many people who claim a copy of the start an import export business toolkit are owners of small or medium sized businesses, some are employees trying to enhance their international business careers. The vast majority, however, are people who have decided they want something different in their life other than just a 9-5 job. Are you one of them? Would A Five Second Commute Interest You? Many people start out part time from a home office. Small deals or multi-million dollar deals can be made from the comfort of their homes. These people enjoy what is often called the 5 second commute or the time it takes to get from their bedroom to their home office. It generally takes time to start, build and succeed in an import export business and that is where the 'extreme dreamers' referred to above make their first mistake. They want the 5 second commute without making any real commitment or within a specified timeframe (usually a couple of months or less). Their second mistake is thinking (or believing) they will succeed in their international trade business without a roadmap. And, the third mistake they often make is believing they can dive right into making their first export deal a multimillion dollar one in big volume or big ticket items like automobiles, diamonds, gold, urea or jets. They visit one (or more) of the many 'free' Internet sites where trade leads are posted. Many extreme dreamer "want to be" exporters think they have uncovered a gold mine when they discover these sites. I know, because that is when they call here. I Don't Need A Roadmap Just Show Me The Secret Path To Making $300,000 In The Next 30 Days These extreme dreamer "wannabe" exporters are often very sly. They feign interest in the start an import export toolkit to gain confidence and will try to keep the question and answers going until the true reason for their call is revealed. The truth finally comes out that they need help putting a deal together because they found several trade leads for 2000 metric tons of this or 500,000 barrels of that. They have that little calculator in their head calculating how RICH they will be by simply adding a small percentage mark up to each of those units! They listen "briefly" and often interrupt when the toolkit is mentioned. They believe if they can keep pumping this guy on the other end of the line (me) for 30 minutes or an hour, they will learn all that they need to know to put this incredibly profitable deal together. They don't need a toolkit (roadmap) - they just want to be pointed down the yellow brick road to riches that will lead them to make $300,000 in the next 30 days. (Yes, I have had many conversations like this and yes, one did want to make $300K in 30 days). This is why it is often amusing (and - admittedly, quite irritating sometimes) when you see how many people think they can start an import or export business without devoting some time (and money) to learning how to do it properly. My fellow international business friends (hopefully you will allow me to call you a friend if you have stuck with us this far) the BIG deals are out there but there are many, many more profitable ones available from smaller products that are used every day. Things like food products, sporting goods, cardboard boxes, automotive products, health care products and many more. These are products that small and medium suppliers in the U.S. are manufacturing and selling domestically with no idea that people in other countries would love to buy their products. And, quite frankly, most of the BIG deals are locked up by the BIG companies and without learning the proper methods and processes of the business, you will never have a chance at one of these BIG deals. You want the TRUTH? You are getting the TRUTH, but can you handle it? Your First Lesson And International Trade Resource Is Here (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. 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' roadmap will be best for you. But Why is Due Diligence So Important? First, if you are unwilling to perform due diligence on who you get your import export training from, then you need to sit down and really think 'again' 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 "very" careful with whom you deal. Third, as a small example of how important performing due diligence can be to a even a small business, like ours, it has saved us from losing well over $150,000 from fraudulent orders in just the last 5 1/2 years. What Is The Long Term Value Of This Free Lesson? If saving one's business from $150,000+ in fraudulent orders does not say enough about long term value, there probably isn't much else that you can be shown that will convince you of it's value. 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 roadmap (course or program) that is right for you. In making this extremely important decision, you must be diligent in determining the reliability of who is providing your roadmap and what you are really getting for your investment. How valuable is it in this particular situation - well you tell me, how valuable is your future? ~WARNING!~ You "DO NOT" Need To Be Certified To Start An Import Export Business! 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 free lesson you are learning here along with the free "due diligence" resources linked to below and investigate them (and that includes us). If you think being certified will help you, 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 "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 $1.37 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 found most, if not all, of the answers to their questions are answered in their lifetime library of international trade resources called the toolkit. To complete your first lesson in starting an import export business, you are now going to be given free access to a comprehensive group of international business resources to help you perform your due diligence research.

Here is something found in a newsletter recently that is quite appropriate to the toolkit self study import export business training course: Everything you need to obtain an MBA is probably available online, but the critical question is whether it's worth your time to first find it before you can learn it. What is your return on investment? Is it really worthwhile for you to potentially spend hundreds of hours of your time trying to research and piecemeal the education you need to succeed? 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?

I thought it was very helpful and shed even more light on the subject than I got from the books and computer program alone." -- Jack Willis, Littleton, CO Let me close this out by saying "International Trade IS NOT for everyone." You have to possess certain personality traits to succeed in international trade here are some of those traits: • • You must be patient because it will 'most likely' take 3-6 months or more before you earn your first dollar. You must be persistent because international businesses, whether they are manufacturers or importer buyers, are not waiting for 'you' to contact them. • • • • You must possess a certain amount of sales ability to convince a manufacturer or importer why they should deal with you. You must have a reasonable ability to 'clearly' communicate with people on the telephone or in some instances in person. You must be willing to work long hours, be constantly frustrated and realize this is not going to make you get rich quick. You must be willing to invest some of your profits back into your business. If you possess the above traits, then you should scroll to the bottom of this page and order your training program now. If you have performed your due diligence on us, but you still have some questions or would like some FREE business related advice, give me a call at 717-292-5763. You will talk to "me" not some hired gun, boiler room operator who knows nothing about international trade other than the script book they have been trained to read from in order to separate you from your money. If you call, please do so during reasonable hours of say 10 am to 5 pm EST "AND" if you get the answering service, leave a message with your name, telephone number and the best time(s) to call you back. Whatever you decide to do at this point, be true to your family and yourself. Do not spend money you do not have, do not spend your grocery money or next month's rent or worse yet go into debt for some program that promises you the world and ends up delivering nothing more than a fancy looking certificate to hang on your wall. I wish you the best and look forward to talking with you. Ron Coble
