Added for You - eBay - Tapping Into The Japanese Collector Market
If you are an business owner or a sales manager who is responsible for the success of your sales team, you know that it is necessary to constantly evaluate the team's performance. Your ongoing business success is determined by continuous training so that the team has the best tools and strategies available. When you evaluate your team's statistics, it's also a good idea to apply this simple ten question test to measure whether your team is undertrained and perhaps requires a little extra help. Every day you do your best, but is it enough?1. Do members of your sales staff often lose more sale

Every restaurant can benefit from proper food costing. Food costing is one of the most important elements for making your restaurant more profitable. Costing out your food enables you to have complete control over how much you spend on food and allows you to price your dishes for maximum profit, as well as good value to your customer.Typically, food costs should account for around 1/3 of a restaurant's expenses. The food cost along with labor and overhead costs should account for more than 2/3 of the total expenses. Above that is the profit the restaurant will generate. Since food costs are one of the highes
If you sell vintage Americana and don't allow Japanese bidders you might just as well place a "No Baggy Pants Allowed" sign in your auction ads.
Vintage Americana is hot in Japan with thousands of hungry collectors. These collectors have several things in common.
- They have money to spend on their interests
- They consistently pay high prices for the items they collect
- They are highly competitive amongst themselves. This means a collector will often pay an unrealistic price for an item simply to keep a fellow collector they know personally from getting the item
- They are extremely polite
- They pay quickly - usually with PayPal
- Once they have bought from you, they return again and again, quickly becoming loyal repeat customers
- They spend money twelve months a year - they don't suffer from slow buying periods as many American bidders do

<If a group of 100 people were asked, “If you had the time, are there papers in your files that you could comfortably toss out?” how may do you think would answer yes? In my experience - 99 people would say “Yes.” But who goes into the office and thinks, “OK, today I don’t have anything better to do. I’m going to clean out the files?” Not only that, but if you do start to clean them out, someone will undoubtedly give you a look that says “Don’t you have anything more important to do than that?!”Well, consider this! Research shows that 80% of what we file we never use, and the average worker spends 150 ho

Trade shows are part of the marketing mix and the appearance by your firm should be a continuum of your entire marketing including advertising, public relations and events.While you may introduce a new product or showcase a service, many firms make mistakes by not connecting the overall corporate branding with the show. How can an exhibit staff person be up to speed on what the company is doing?BEFORE THE SHOW …………1. Make sure you have information about the exhibit – what is in it, why it is there – before the show. Not the day before but as soon as you get your assignment. T

Introduction - Case StudyWhen my daughter Meredith (in her late twenties) asked me about starting up a boutique recently, the best advice I could give her was to say nothing. I must admit that I didn't really remember what a boutique was. Sure, I knew it was a shop, but the exact type of shop eluded me. So instead of embarassing myself by letting her know that her infallible, omniscient father really isn't the fountain of all wisdom as she thinks, I searched the Internet for a suitable source of information. (Ain't the net grand?)I eventually bought her an ebook titled, "FabJob Guide to Beco

Have you ever spent an entire day twiddling your thumbs at your desk, with a luke-warm cup of coffee? Or worse, cold calling a whole bunch of poor souls that didn't want to talk to you and end up with nothing to show for it – all because there weren't any hot leads waiting for you?Have you ever thought to yourself that your pipe-line looks like a “Ghost Town”?The reason this happens is simple…It's because traditional marketing strategies don't deliver consistent results.You can't count on the same methods you're used to using to keep yourself busy anymore. The only thing that makes traditional

There is a company that does nothing but act as a bidding agent for Japanese buyers. They advertise in Japan, have a website set up with sniping equipment, and full translation software. They place bids on eBay for their registered members, make payment in US funds, and have the items shipped to them. They then forward them to the Japanese buyer upon payment for the item, shipping, and a healthy commission.
If a Japanese collector is willing to pay $300 plus a $45+ commission for an item, doesn't it make sense to let them pay the entire $345 to you?
Some things to keep in mind when doing business with Japanese buyers
1. Consider using translator software when doing business with Japanese buyers
2. Whether using translation software or not, remember that many of the people you will be dealing with do not speak or write fluent English. Always use complete sentences and try to use proper sentence structure (simple noun - adjecti
