ABOUT US

Joint Ventures expanded

Product Agents. Do you know of a great product that you think would sell in the US market, but you are not a manufacturer or supplier? Maybe you do not have the capital or don’t want to take the risk. Further you may be unfamiliar with online sales in the United States. 
We offer a program where you can be an agent for us. You find the products and present them to us. We can work out a competitive arrangement for your compensation. Typically this works via a perpetual commission paid on sales of the product or we can offer a one-time upfront product finder reward.

Local knowledge. What are the strategies and added value that you as a product agent can bring to us? Knowledge of locally manufactured products. Typically there are products in your home town or region that are fairly common due to the fact that they are produced there. Also, it is possible that the raw materials or production processes exist there. Further It may simply be an organic product that grows commonly in your region.
Another great example of local product knowledge is that surprisingly in the day and age of the internet. There are many successful, traditional companies that produce products and have established sales channels. Sales channels that do not exist on the internet. These companies make a healthy profit and have suppliers to buy what they are currently producing. Although every business would like to make more money, you would be surprised how many make enough money and are happily successful selling to the long time customers that they have. 
They may not have any dedicated sales people or marketing. These are typically companies that have older owners that are close to retirement, They never got on the internet as they never needed to. Further they made the money they needed and are close to retirement,  These companies are often more than happy to answer the phone or talk in person if you knock on the door. They are also typically very happy to help someone out that is helping them out. Think of small to medium sized companies that have an outdated website or not one at all.

Language knowledge. As an American based company, we primarily are limited to finding products that are listed online in English. Further we are limited to working with companies that have someone on staff that speaks English to negotiate the terms or a sale. Just because you can easily find the product in your country, in your language; does not mean that the rest of the world can find that product as well or at all.

Local and country specific websites, apps, local markets, and trading organizations. Websites and Apps: If you are in China, you may think everyone knows about Taobao, but most of the world doesn’t. On the other hand many people around the world know about Alibaba, this website does have some listings in English and some staff that speak English, however there is a huge gap on the products that are not listed in English, further this is typically manufactures that require large to massive purchase orders and long lead times. On the other hand TaoBao for example is only offered in Chinese. As an American, I can visit the website and try to use a translator. However, beyond this issue, its nearly impossible to create an account on that platform. 
Furthermore, many shops do not offer shipping to the United States or speak English. If you are in Vietnam you may think everyone knows about Lazada or shoppe, however the same problem exists. The listings are in Vietnamese and shipping to the United states is not offered. The list could go on for each country. These example problem examples exist in every country and when there is a problem there is an opportunity.

Local markets. can be a surprisingly great place to find local deals. Often vendors are also the manufacturer of the product or they source the organic products themselves. So you are talking directly to the source and can often get one of the best prices around. Furthermore, the vendors that are at local markets often cannot be found online as they are selling in a more traditional approach that works for them.

Trade organizations. In every country and most cities there are organizations that help connect businesses and people. These are typically a chamber of commerce, local trade groups etc. The sole purpose of the organizations is to help businesses connect with other businesses and end customs. Simply calling one of these organizations, You can ask them what companies or products are a part of their organization. They will happily give you the information you want. This helps the business and you. This is one of the main purposes for these organizations.

Trading companies. We are happy to work with trading companies. We understand the value that you bring to the table. Your knowledge and expertise in finding and vetting products are appreciated. You can provide the crucial link between a manufacturer or supplier and a purchasing company like ourselves. Please contact us and let us know what you have to offer. We look forward to establishing long term relationships with trading companies.
