International Trade - the Unknown Unknowns

Are you an international trader? Where do you trade? Do you know all there is to know about trading across international borders?

I doubt that there are many people out there who can say that they do. What is more important is that people who are dipping their toes into the world of international trade at least understand that .."they don't know what they don't know.."

...and there are more and more people as the advent of Amazon and dropshipping and ebay selling grows, more and more new entrepreneurs are out there having a go, and good for them. The world definitely needs more entrepreneurs.

What are the unknowns? Here is a sample of a few..
  • Cultural differences,
  • language differences
  • differences in the ways that people negotiate and contract
  • Door to door shipments - what can possibly go wrong?
  • How to cover yourself against risks and losses?
  • How to ensure that you always get paid

...and trust me - that is just a small sample.

How to travel efficiently, what to take, how to plan ahead.

Are you just heading out to a Trade Show and hoping for the best?

Have you got someone at the other end who will assist you?

Does your bank understand international financing?

These are all the things (and more) that I have referenced in my new book - "International Trade - The Ins and Outs of Import and Export". It is not an academic tome, but a good light read designed to get you thinking, planning, looking in the right places and getting good advice before you put your toe in the water.

​I hope you will head over to my Sales Page and also  www.johngates.com.au for a look - or you can find it as Smashwords (www.smashwords.com/books/view/870894)
