Problem Solving

Assume that:

• You signed a contract with a European buyer
  
• Agreed payment term is a letter of credit
  
• As a novice you weren't able to meet all terms and conditions of the letter of credit
  
• Your buyer's bank refused to pay
  
• The buyer canceled the deal

The goods have been shipped two weeks ago and you've got two 20' containers due to arrive in Hamburg in seven days. What are you going to do?

In an ideal situation, the best solution is to find a new buyer ASAP and sell the goods at a marginally discounted price. To do that you need to let potential buyers know that you have this offer.

Unfortunately, you don't have any business contacts in Europe. As a result, you stand to lose the entire shipment or face enormous additional expenses – unloading, warehousing, shipping back to Australia, etc.

This happens quite frequently because export seller do not have a "real-time" channel to announce "special deals" to a broad audience.

With Export61 you would simply post an announcement in the "Hot Deal" box and hope that somebody might be interested in your products.

While it is not guaranteed, Export61 extends your ability to communicate with a wider audience and increases your chances of sale.

Many buyers are scouting for good offers daily, so there is a good chance that some of them will bite.

Global exposure

You may offer superior products or services but if potential customers out there don't know about them you can't exploit the opportunity to sell.

Unless you have a spare couple of million dollars to spend on advertising it is very hard to let the world know that you exist. How many visitors do you have at your corporate web site a year? A couple of hundred? A few more?

At Export61 we have over 5,000 visitors a month from all over the world. Are they looking for your products or services? Not necessarily. But you'll never know if you are not with Export61.

Networking

Through our discussion forum and thematic on-line workshops you will communicate with a broad audience acting in different fields of International Trade and will be able to make useful connections and to build strategic business relationships.

Innovation

With Export61 you have an opportunity to integrate new e-technologies in your day-to-day operations. While your business may have done well without all these "complications", you are also missing out on opportunities for a quantum leap in international sales.

First of all, it is not complicated at all (it's just new and different). Second, in a few years time you could find you are seriously disadvantaged.

Instead, we offer to keep you up to date and using innovative e-solutions for improving your business and accelerating your sales.

While we are pleased to offer you an effective marketing tool for going global, we are also very keen to provide you with free "export assistance".
