The “Are you Asia Ready?” audit helps business owners understand how Asia can impact their business and better educates them on which of their products could be sourced globally and which products or services could be sold internationally. The audit provides real numbers so businesses do not miss or overestimate the impact of importing and exporting.

Part One – Can I buy better?

By directly sourcing products from Asia, an organization could easily see hundreds of thousands in annual savings. To minimize the risk of direct sourcing, the business will need to establish procedures and dedicate resources to professional procurement. This part of the audit provides real numbers to make sure the financial benefits of direct import outweigh the increased resources you need to deploy.

Part Two – Can I sell more?

The second piece of the audit examines the pros and cons of exporting to Asia. Through this audit, businesses better understand competition, market size, and distribution channels so they can create a successful market entry strategy.

Typically introduced to Mawson Global through partners around the country, clients are able to work with their trusted business advisers to determine the course of action which will likely lead to the most impactful affect to their business.

Another year has come and gone and here at Mawson Global, and we’re eager to jump full-force into 2016.

As a new year approaches, now is the time to outline your ambitions and goals for 2016.

Setting attainable goals can seem incredibly daunting at times. However, our goals also serve as “navigational beacons” that keep us on a successful path, even when things get tough. By knowing what our goals are, we can more easily ensure we don’t veer off course.

Whatever your goals for the year may be, make sure they’re S.M.A.R.T; that is Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Timely. Utilizing this methodology drives you to sit and think about the substance of your goals. Why is this goal more relevant or pertinent than that goal now? Thinking of your goals in these terms reinforces the whys and hows.

Once you’ve set your goals, share them with people you trust. These people will serve as your support and accountability partners. When you outline your goals clearly, you and your support team have baselines and benchmarks you can reflect on to measure success and realign moving ahead.

Do your 2016 goals include ambitions of working with overseas suppliers? If so, 2016 is gearing up to be another banner year for Chinese manufacturing and trade. Researching and analyzing whether or not global sourcing is the right fit for you and your organization can be intimidating. Sourcing, though, can provide significant cost and time saving benefits, while increasing profits and strengthening the overall business.

At Mawson Global, we understand your concerns and needs, which is why we have developed the “Are you ready for Asia?” audit. Ask yourself, “How do you think Asia is impacting your business?” You may be able to come up with a number of responses to that. We believe that, largely, it boils down to two points: reducing costs by importing and increasing sales by exporting. If you fall into either of these camps, click here to learn more about the “Are you ready for Asia?” audit.
