Re: Timeline for Import / Export Business

RE: [spiers] Re: Timeline for Import / Export Business

Hi John,

I done the import/export course with you last fall. I keep getting these
emails. Some are very informative and I enjoy reading them.

Is there a website with this/more info or are the emails just it?


Thanks,

Dean Harris

From your experience, what is the average amount of time it takes from
sourcing the product to actually getting your first order? What is the
breakdown of time for each phase from sourcing to delivery?

9 months would be typical... a week to dream up the product... 2-3 weeks to
get to the point where customers say it is a good idea and does not exist...

6 weeks to whittle down the potential suppliers and the samples... you know
what I think I am going to do... I am going to lay this out as a pert
project
plan chart...with a budget... and make it available as a .pdf.. it's a good
question.. thanks... bug me in 2 weeks if you don't have it by then...

John
