Accounts Receivable Financing: Exporting to Africa

Description:

Accounts Receivable Financing: Exporting to Africa explores how to extend credit and get paid for your exports to Africa. The government of the United States of America supports the export of goods and services to Africa with many interrelated programs.

Content:

Several agencies of the US government support departments that have mandates to help you increase your export sales and minimize risks with regard to the sales of products and services to Africa. These departments exist within US agencies such as the Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Department of Commerce, and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. All are supported by a relatively recent law called: The African Growth and Opportunity Act. The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) was signed into law by President Bush on May 18, 2000 as Title 1 of The Trade and Development Act of 2000. The Act offers tangible incentives for African countries to continue their efforts to open their economies and build free markets.

The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) has been modified three times to increase exports to Africa.

In the first modification, AGOA was changed in to substantially expand preferential access for imports from beneficiary Sub-Sarahan African countries in several ways: 1) The term “fabric” was previously interpreted by U.S. Customs as excluding components that are “knit-to-shape” (i.e. components that take their shape in the knitting process, rather than being cut from a bolt of cloth); now knit-to-shape apparel will qualify for AGOA benefits. 2) The definition of hybrid cutting was broadened to include cutting of fabric in the U.S. and/or AGOA countries. 3) The volume cap on duty-free treatment for apparel made from fabric made in AGOA regions or, for lesser developed beneficiary countries from fabric made anywhere was doubled. 4) Botswana and Nambia were specially designated as less developed countries.

In the second modification, AGOA’s periods for preferential treatment for African imports to the US were expanded.

In the third modification, known as AGOA “1V” was expanded and liberalized again. In essence, US laws were created to increase US exports to Africa and imports from Africa to the US.

Pursuant to AGOA the US organized a U.S.-Sub-Saharan Africa Trade and Economic Forum hosted by the Secretaries of State, Commerce, Treasury, and the U.S. Trade Representative. The Forum serves as the vehicle for regular dialogue between the United States and African countries on issues of economics, trade, and investment. This fosters a unique cooperation between US agencies, African countries, and US businesses that desire to increase export sales to Africa with minimal risk.

How does this work? It involves the Export Assistance Centers of the US Department of Commerce to assist you with your marketing and sales efforts to Africa and financial support from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to Banks that participate in and finance the export of goods and services to Africa in a variety of programs.

The Export Assistance Centers are part of the U.S. Commercial Services which is the trade promotion of the International Trade Administration (a part of the US Department of Commerce). Their mission is to provide 1) market research in the form of country specific commercial guides; 2) industry sector analysis; and 3) internal market insight reports. They provide trade counsel and advocacy through every step of the export process. They sponsor trade events that promote your product or services to qualified African buyers. They provide introductions to qualified buyers and distributors. They will help settle disputes and negotiate tariff issues. Once described as “glorified matchmakers” they will go as far as possible to help you export safely to Africa- even to the US Ambassador to facilitate these objectives, if appropriate.

And they help with the nuts and bolts of exporting to Africa such as setting up meetings for you with up to 5 prospective buyers per day, selecting drivers, translators and hotels. When you go to Africa to sell your goods or services you will not be making a cold call; you will be meeting with pre-qualified people when you participate in this program- all at a nominal cost to cover the agency’s expenses.

It is necessary for you to actually travel to Africa and meet face to face to successfully export to Africa. This is a cultural necessity. African businesses do not operate like American businesses where we trust negotiations conducted over the telephone and internet, and often transact without ever meeting the buyer or seller.

What exports are needed in Africa? You can read the research reports to find out specifically what is in demand. At the top of the list you will see products that purify water. Africa has a huge water infrastructure need. There is also a great interest in security related devices such as high tech devices to prevent theft of vehicles and increase recovery of stolen vehicles. Textile manufacturing equipment and telecommunications equipment also head the lists. Certain medical devices are also in demand.

What are some of the challenges regarding creating or increasing your export sales to Africa? It is difficult to qualify buyers; there are limited credit reporting facilities in Africa; African companies’ auditing and accounting systems are not “world class”. And it is difficult to ascertain who will actually pay as promised in you negotiations. To minimize these risks it is prudent to work with the Export-Import Bank and their correspondent banks and insurance brokers for international trade transactions to Africa.

There are specific Export-Import Bank standards for short-term and medium term credit; these may be located on their website at exim.gov. Financing guarantees and insurance are available for short term financing in 44 Sub-Sarahan African countries. They facilitate more competitive terms for African buyers. After the US correspondent bank has reviewed and approved you for financing, you can use these guarantees and insurance to minimize your accounts receivable financing risk when extending credit to African buyers. This applies to transactions wherein you have successfully delivered your products or services to African purchasers.

Unfortunately, there presently is no way to insure against contract frustration, also known as transactional risk. In other words, you take the risk of default if a prospective African buyer cancels the transaction before it is completed. You are at risk regarding disputes such as delivery or product specifications until they are resolved. And you cannot avoid devaluation of currency as a political risk either.

On the other hand, commercial risks such as insolvency, bankruptcy and protracted default are covered risks utilizing these programs; also covered are political risks such as war, revolution and insurrection.

The bottom line: you can use accounts receivable financing to export to Africa to increase your sales, minimize risks, and increase your working capital when you work with the appropriate US agencies, their correspondent banks and insurance brokers.

They can simply be listed on eBay and automatically delivered through the use of eBay's digital delivery feature or various software applications that automate digital delivery. The best part of selling eBooks however is the profit potential they possess. There are virtually no costs in creating your eBook - it can even be free - and it costs no further capital to reproduce the eBook. You can sell one or one million copies for the same price.

Then develop a structure for your eBook. This can be simply outlining a list of chapters.

Now you need to fill in these chapters with relevant information. Use your initial research and begin to write out your product. Make the product unique and do not copy other's work.

Once you have all the content written, tidy the eBook up a bit by bolding words, underlining titles, adding sub-chapters, headers, footers and anything else you can do to make the eBook more presentable. Having said this, your eBook need not be a work of art and don't waste too much time on presentation.

All of the above steps should be completed within a day or two.

Having Your Successful Home Business

Description:

How to find the correct home business that is a good old shoe personal fit for you

Content:

Hard core entrepreneurs know that operating a home business is a grand idea to make some extra money or to provide you with a way to work entirely from home.

Businesses are a very lucrative way to make money for you. Further, it can provide you with more income, freedom and prime time to have a life. Keys to having a successful home enterprise are to find one that you believe in and that comfortably suits your life style. For example, if you do not like selling things and contacting people face to face or by phone, then you probably will need to choose a home business that does not have these requirements. If the potential enterprise is marketing a product that you, yourself would not use under any circumstances, or do not believe in, then it makes it all but impossible to make a believable presentation to others. No conviction in it from you, no sales. All there is to it.

Home businesses do not run themselves, either. Most successful home based entrepreneurs will tell you that they got to be successful by working long and hard at it.

They put in the time and the energy to make it a success. There is no business that does not require some work.

There are, however, some that do not require a large financial investment by you.

Within the last hour I checked out several internet opportunities that said you get business while you sleep.

Actually, this can be true, well after you have worked your tail off for hundreds and thousands of hours. This sentence is the little catch.

You can learn the ropes and make it though. Millions have worked and made an income of their internet business, on or off the internet. You have to spend time working it though.

The best way to find the perfect endeavor for you is to do some research about many different ones there are out there.

This is how you can become authentically confident that you have chosen an optimum career that you will be good at, that is capable of, generating the income you are hoping for. The best opportunities, at this time, are internet affiliate programs, creative writing, article directory driven programs and online auction sites. All of these can be started very cheaply but all require putting in the learning time and working hours to make them profit for you.

You may have to go through one to two hundred of these to find the one that is the best old shoe fit for you but the search will be worth it.

Spend as little as an hour each day checking opportunities out but do Not spend a penny until you have looked at a minimum of fifty different opportunities. Preferably a hundred.

You will soon become skilled at what is truth and what is bunk on the internet.

Business Processes – Understanding your Business

Description:

Understanding your business and having business processes which reflect "How things are done around here" is the first step in driving your business towards spectacular results.

Content:

I. Why are Business Processes established

In order for a business to improve its performance it must understand how it does business. It must convert the “how” into defined processes, which must be able to have their performance measured, and the results used to make subsequent improvements. They do not usually enable a person unfamiliar with a job to do that job, but they will help an employee, supervisor or manager understand and do their job better.

II. What are business processes?

A business process is a group of activities, which together achieve a specific goal by transforming inputs into outputs. e.g. Sales Order processing. It is often drawn, depicting tasks, roles, resources and activities to be undertaken. A business process consists of sub-processes, decisions and activities. A sub-process is a part of a higher level process which has its own goal, owner, inputs and outputs. An activity is part of the process which does not include any decision making, such as “Answer the phone”, or Produce an invoice”.


III. How are Business Processes used?

They can be thought of as a collection of recipes in a cookbook for running a business, and reaching the objectives defined in the Strategic Business Plan. There are three types of business processes:
a. Management processes – these run the business and comply with legal requirements e.g. Corporate governance
b. Operational processes – these deliver the customer value, they are part of the core business e.g. Deliver goods
c. Supporting processes – these support the core processes e.g. accounting, or induction

IV. How is a Business Process established

It is established by “mapping” what actually happens in transforming inputs into outputs, and writing it down in a form which can be used for reference, training or instruction. The international Quality standard ISO 9001 requires a company to follow a process approach when managing its business, and to this end creating process maps will assist.

V. Process Maps

These are the visual representation of a process. They are diagrams which show each step, and they represent the logic necessary to achieve the desired output. By mapping we can:
a. Understand what happens and who is responsible
b. Simplify the process as required
c. Implement or eliminate activities
d. Redesign and improve what happens

VI Business Process Management

This refers to activities performed by businesses to optimize and adapt their processes. The objective is to make the information required for measuring the performance of the business, (its Key Performance Indicators), as easy as possible to collect. The activities are grouped into 3 categories – design, execution and monitoring. Each of the activities is carried out, practically, by the use of suitable computer software, by manual collection means, or by a combination of both. The most cost efficient way will be adopted to suit the size of each business.

Graduate Field Sales Positions

Description:

There is an abundance of Field Sales positions for Graduates who want to get started immediately after University. Many incentives are offered, such as six month bonuses, draws for DVD players, referral bonuses etc. Sales training and scenarios will be offered to give fresh graduates a kick start to their careers.

Content:

On the front lines of the UK and European corporate buying market are field sales people from a variety of industries. Medical equipment sales people provide information and high quality service to hospitals and health care providers who need to help their patients get better. Insurance sales people work with human resources managers in a variety of industries to develop corporate insurance programs that fit the need of a particular company. Food wholesale companies work with grocers and restaurateurs to find the best food for their customers. All in all, field sales positions in the UK and Europe are critical to the success of companies. For graduates just entering the work force, field sales opportunities offer the best chance at a great salary and a good learning experience.

Field sales positions are abundant for graduates who are interested in the profession and for those who want to gain professional experience right out of university. In fact, many companies offer incentives for exceptional graduates to apply, train, and work within their sales departments. These incentives can include a bonus after six months of pay, referral incentives, and drawings for items like DVD players for sales graduates during their training session. Typically, companies offer sales training and scenarios for their new sales graduates in order to craft the best possible workforce. An increasing number of companies contract their training sessions to recruiting companies, so it pays for graduates to apply directly with those recruiters to find their next job.

Graduates who are concerned about their salary during their time as field sales representatives should think about the long term benefits of their career. Entry level field sales professionals begin with a base salary between 22,000 and 28,000 pounds, depending on company size and industry. While graduates may be looking for more money to pay off school loans and other debt, field sales lends itself to bigger and better things. Performance incentives ensure that graduates who are determined sales people can earn many thousands of pounds annually.

Field sales representatives often receive raises only months after starting their jobs, dependent on company performance and department sales. As well, field sales graduates in most industries can advance quickly from entry level positions. Sales management and executive positions are filled by exceptional sales talents with only a few years’ experience within the company. Graduates who want secure jobs and an opportunity to control major sales campaigns should consider a job in field sales.

Dealing with Two Problem eBay Buyers: The Non-Responder and the Fraudster!

Description:

Sometimes you just have to wonder why some buyers actually bid. The auction ends...and then the problems begin.

Content:

Sometimes you just have to wonder why some buyers actually bid. The auction ends...and then the problems begin.

One of the most frustrating problems is when the buyer never responds. Have they disappeared off the face of the earth? Has their computer exploded? Whatever the reason, they ignore your emails and apparently forget that they purchased a second-hand Beatles record collection off you a couple of days before.

The Non-Responder

What should you do? First of all, you need to send them a couple of reminder emails: the first a couple of days after the auction ends, the second, 7 days after the auction ends. Firmly remind them of their purchase and that payment is due 10 days after auction end.

While you may be fuming, it's possible that the buyer has a legitimate reason for not responding. A family emergency, illness, computer problems... these are all legitimate reasons why they may not have got in touch. So give them the benefit of the doubt and wait for 10 days before you take further action.

If there is still no response after that time, grit your teeth and consider filing an unpaid item dispute. Then relist your item and consider blocking the non-paying buyer from bidding.

This solution is not completely satisfactory if you suspect the non-responder has simply gone AWOL, but it's all you can do in the situation. At least you haven't lost money!

After you've filed an unpaid item dispute, eBay should credit your listing fee back and send the non-paying bidder three warning emails. The good news is that eBay is able to suspend non-paying bidders after three warnings.

The Fraudster

A more serious problem - and the greatest risk to eBay sellers - is the fraudulent credit card chargeback. Unfortunately, fraudulent chargeback's are an unavoidable risk when you receive a payment by credit card or through Paypal.

Chargeback's occur when the buyer asks their credit card company to remove a charge from their credit card statement. This can take place anytime from immediately after the transaction takes place to months later, and they can be very difficult to appeal.

There are two things you can do. Firstly, be aware of potentially risky situations, and secondly, learn what pieces of documentation can help you appeal a fraudulent chargeback.

So what situations are likely to lead to a chargeback?

Item not as described: This is a common one. If you haven't provided a full description of your item or stated your terms and conditions clearly, then it's much easier for a buyer to claim your item wasn't what they expected.

Buyer asks for the item to be send via urgent shipping at any cost or shipped to a different address: Approach with caution! There have been some instances where buyers have paid with a stolen credit card (hence the different address), resulting in an "unauthorized" payment claim once the real cardholder realized what happened.

But, it's not always easy to spot these situations. You can't always assume the worst.

However, if you are unlucky enough to be victim of a fraudulent chargeback, then you'll have a much greater chance of a successful appeal if you can show the following:

* Proof of tracking and delivery: Always use a shipping company that provides tracking and an online confirmation number. Many shipping companies will also get a signature on delivery if you so desire. This documentation means that it's easy to prove otherwise if you do get an ‘item not received' chargeback.
* Ship to a confirmed address: If you use Paypal, then a confirmed address is one that has been identified by Paypal as safer than other addresses. For this reason, it also gives you an extra leg to stand on when appealing a chargeback for non-delivery.
* ALWAYS retain proof of refund if you give one: There's nothing worse than providing a refund and the buyer initiating a chargeback as well!

And of course, always provide as much detail as possible in your item description. A good description and a couple of good-quality photos are your best protection against chargeback's for item not as described.

Play it Safe!

Are You Really Sure That You Want To Work At Home?

Description:

This article describes some of the many drawbacks to consider and avoid if you choose to work at home.

Content:

The highly ranked dream to work at home is a thorn in most people's minds. What most people don't realize is that there can be drawbacks to working at home as well as working any other career. If you are someone who wants to start your own home based business, you should watch out for these neglected pitfalls, so that you can prepare yourself in advance for whatever inconvenience they may pose on you.

The first one I will discuss is lack of financial security. Working at home and starting your own home based business carries a substantial amount of risk. Unlike earning a steady salary, you will not be receiving a fixed amount of income each month. There's a great possibility that the compensation you receive each month will be small in comparison to your regular job, especially at the beginning or during the start up phase. The upside of this, of course, is that you also stand to gain substantially. Some of the biggest, most profitable businesses in the world today were first small home business start-ups. Companies like Microsoft, The Body Shop, and Coca-Cola are just a few examples of companies that were first started and ran from the proverbial garage.

The second drawback is having to take complete charge and control of your own time. Time can either be put to good, profitable use, or it can be wasted very quickly. If you are not a disciplined person, then you might have a tough time making a work at home venture work for you. After all, being at home usually means that you are comfortable, perhaps too comfortable. You can surf the net, watch TV, fix dinner, play with the kids, shoot some hoops, talk with your friends, read a book, take a nap, there are so many things that threaten to eat up your time when you're at home. If you really want to work at home, you should first make sure that you can carve up a good amount of time to spend on your business. You will need to have the ability to set a schedule and stick with it; otherwise you might be heading down a one way road for financial ruin. However, if you are the kind of person who is willing and able to set your own goals and work hard towards achieving them, then having control of your own time can prove to be an incredible advantage. You will be able to set your priorities, manage your tasks, and minimize the waste of your time. These are a few of the things that are the most difficult to accomplish when you are in someone else's employ.

A third drawback you can encounter is potential isolation. Because you are not forced to interact with other people on a daily basis, you might fall into a tendency to cut yourself off from most daily interactions. This is a danger that those with a more conservative or shy personality may face. In order to counteract this, you simply must allot a portion of your time to meet new friends and talk to people on a regular basis. Never get too involved in your work to the detriment of your social life; you'll just suffer in the end. Remember being alone or closed away from society can have a major impact on your life.

Don't let this little list of work at home downfalls discourage you from taking the plunge, especially if you are a very family oriented person. That's exactly what most people do, which is why you don't see a whole bunch of truly rich people in your neighborhood. Read over this short list of drawbacks and fix in your mind how you intend to overcome these obstacles in your path to riches. While you're thinking about it, I am sure you can even come up with a few other downfalls to working at home to prepare yourself for. It's always better to prepare for the worst in life no matter what you choose to do. So always remember, do your homework first. Knowing your weaknesses is strength and power, never forget that.

Job Interview Question And Answer Strategies

Figuring out job interview question and answer strategies can be a nerve wrecking experience particularly for first timers or those that are in desperate need of a job. They would prepare endlessly for days, study self help books about 'How to face an interview', memorize answers to 'expected' questions etc. This article looks at the psychology of interviewers, job interview question and answer strategies, and what most people do wrong while faced with an interview.

Most people think that attending interviews means answering tough questions. Hence they try to prepare answers to as many questions as possible by reading books related to facing interviews. But it would be humanly impossible to remember all the answers and recall them at the right time. It should be borne in mind that by inviting you to an interview, the employer has already short listed you based on your resume that you are suitable for the job. Otherwise you would not have been called for the interview in the first place. Hence the purpose of the interview is mainly to ascertain three things - that the contents of the resume are true and that you are capable of doing the job, that you would be with the company as long as needed and that you would form a good chemistry with other employees of the company.

Keeping the above points in mind, the questions in the interview are likely to be oriented towards revealing the real you as most people write only good things about them in their resumes - as no one likes to admit that he or she was a failure. Most of the competing candidates would have more or less same qualifications; otherwise they would not have been called for interview and you have to stand out among the crowd by giving intuitive answers in the interview. While others might be busy rehearsing the generic questions, it might actually make it easy for you if you remember the main purpose of the interview as given above.

If you are asked the typical question, where would you see yourself in X years time, a proper response would be that you would want to be in the same position as the interviewer is, both starting at the same time. This type of answer would prompt the interviewer to ask more questions seeking clarifications. It would also send a positive signal that you are serious about the job and that you would stick around with the company. Giving intuitive answers would make you stand out among the crowd and compel the interviewer to hire you. Other points to remember when attending interviews are: questions are expected from you also, show your eagerness to know about the company's business and lastly clear any suspicions of the employer that he or she might have about your capabilities.

It is not a requirement to learn by heart expected questions and answers by guessing what the interviewer might ask. You just have to remain calm and allay any reservations that the interviewer may have about your capability and the job is yours.

Careers In Sports Medicine

Description:

Everyone knows you can make a good living as a doctor. However, sports enthusiasts can combine their love of the game with medicine for an exciting and lucrative career.

Content:

Sports medicine offers a challenging field of work varying from injury prevention to treatment and recovery. In addition to the many medical career choices, there are many developing fields of alternative sports therapy.

When a player suddenly faints and falls while playing, there are a few people that try to revive him or put him on a stretcher and take him off the field. This job is little known by spectators. Among the group could be a doctor, a fitness instructor, or an orthopedist. All are branches of the same stream of medicine, known as sports medicine.

In the world of sports, an athlete's fitness and physical well being play a major role in his sports career. Not only his diet and fitness but also his medical capabilities to overcome stress are winning factors. Diagnosing the right ailment and taking care of the performance of the athlete is the basic job of the sports medical professional.

Let's take a look at this career in a broader perspective.

There are different specializations in the field of sports medicine; for example, exercise physiology, physical therapy, orthopedics, sports nutrition, biomechanics, etc. These specializations have different requirements. For example, in orthopedics, a master's degree is required.

Major areas of specialization include:

-Coaching

The name of the course and its curriculum varies across colleges and universities.

Jobs

Some of the prominent jobs in the field of sports or exercise science are as follows:

Biomechanist, occupational physiologist, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation specialist are some of the other jobs available.

Salary

Salary differs from profession to profession, and the experience one has in the field. Generally professionals make more money when they specialize in specific areas of practice.

Tips On A Career In Sports Medicine

-Include science subjects like biology, physics, and anatomy as part of your school/college curriculum.
-Do background research on the available colleges and their costs.
-Decide on the college according to your area of specialization.
-Develop contacts with sports teams and instructors; it is easier to know about the various streams of sports medicine through them. It is also good for networking purposes, which will be helpful while getting an internship/trainee job with a sports club or team.
-If you enjoyed playing the sport, you will also enjoy attending to the players. Developing a liking for the game will also heighten your interests.

Like any other career, sports medicine requires education, experience and dedication to excellence. The field of sports medicine is growing, and even though it is a part of the discipline of medicine, it is different and can offer a lively environment to work in. If you enjoy sports, you should consider sports medicine.
