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,

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

breakdown of time for each phase from sourcing to delivery?

Than >>

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...
