GSW
Certified IMEX Brokers provide services
for their clients in every corner of the globe.
Literally the whole world is your market. Brokers
are able to work successfully in so many areas
by using the business platform, tools, resources
and marketing systems created by Global Services
Worldwide.
The
question is: What do you want? Certainly,
an important question and one that you should
make sure you answer before you commit to any
business. Over the years we've discovered typical
questions that potential brokers ask themselves.
These questions include:
|
 |
What
part of the world do you have an interest in?
Well, if you're thinking about relocation you
can work anywhere you have phone and computer
access. The majority of our brokers work from
their home offices but many travel extensively
and use a laptop and a cell phone to conduct business.
More importantly the question really asks what
areas of the world do you want to do business
with? That's really up to you. The GSW business
platform gives you the tools to work from anywhere
with anyone. New auto parts from South
Korea to the USA? - sure. Used farm equipment
from Canada to Nigeria? - no problem. Apples from
New Zealand to the European Commonwealth? - definitely.
300,000 metric tons of refined sugar from Brazil
to Japan? - absolutely! The examples go on and
on, the point is actually you can work anywhere
with anyone with any products you choose. Most
importantly it means that you're not limited.
You can broker anything to anyone, anywhere, anytime. |

Do
you have relatives, friends or contacts in other
parts of the world? Think about who you know.
Contacts are always valuable. Your connections
with other people in other parts of the country
or the world can lead to deals or, better yet,
long term relationships. |
|
|
Are
you familiar with another economic system or
economic culture? Have you traveled, lived
or worked in another country? Do you have military
experience, stationed overseas? Do you know
the geography, the culture, the needs of other
people? What an advantage! Use your knowledge.
|
|
Do
you speak a foreign language? Another asset
that could lead to many opportunities. For example,
one broker with a client from Brazil who spoke
only Portuguese partnered with another broker
who was fluent in the language. Together they
expanded the account and created a long term relationship
with the client. |
|
What
are your income goals? A very important
point to consider. If your goals are to make large
money then make your move to larger trades and
situations. It sounds fundamental but you'd be
surprised how many people limit themselves and
their incomes by thinking small. |
|
Above
all, make sure you ask yourself the question:
What do I want? Make an outline of what
is important to you. Write down all of your
questions. Discuss your goals and concerns with
your GSW Information Specialist. If your goals
are reasonable and within reach, we'll map out
and develop a plan to get you where you want
to go.
