Yes... this is a problem I highlight in the live online class... and chapter
eight of the book works out a decision tree on how to handle just this
problem... If you don't have that chapter, let me know and i'll forward to
you...

Business in Argentina

Re: [spiers] Business in Argentina

Our experience with Argentina is that it is too unstable at this time to do
trade with.
We had orders for three container loads of product (product from an American
company with a plant in Argentina) and the American company finally told us
to just forget it for now. They are making NO investment in plant in
Argentina at this time due to instability there and they needed to install a
labeling machine to label in other language. (They had planned to do this
when we first started this order process.) Their plant in US that could label
was sold out so we lost the order.

Actually, what I really need are some sources I can use to look for
an Agent in Argentina and or Paraguay. Have a broker here, but am
unsure of how to look for a foreign agent. Thanks!
