Sorry if this sounds harsh but we have to get this point through to you first, otherwise your chances for success are very slim indeed.

You can make $300K (or more) a year from this business but you need to be honest in your dealings with your clients as this is the main criteria if you want to succeed in this business. It is definitely possible to make those figures above as you will be be dealing with industrial buyers who buy products/raw materials in huge volumes, often by container loads, by metric tonnes or even by shiploads. And best of all, in most cases they are repeat buyers which means that you also have the potential to generate lucrative, long-term recurring incomes.

Ask any Internet guru whether it is possible to do an Internet business without the three elements above and chances are they will say "No way, Jose !!"

Well, sorry to disappoint you Jose .....there is now a way !! But actually it has been hidden from public view for the last 15 years.

Make A Small Fortune from Home As A Global
Procurement Consultant

Here's a little known business that has been making the owners of this business a fortune ... and most of them work from home

First things first, I believe many of us are still affected by the after-effects of the financial crisis in America and Europe.  Energy and food prices are still at high levels. These are trying times. Big businesses are going under in droves. Economists paint a bleak picture of the future. More people are losing their homes as they couldn’t keep up with the mortgage payments. Banks and factories are laying off workers by the dozens. It will take quite a few years before things get better.

But are things really that bad everywhere? If you operate a local or
regional business, you might say “Yes”. But as a business owner who operates internationally, I’d definitely say a big “NO!”. There are still many areas in the world where business is still thriving and vibrant - areas which you can go
to within 3 clicks of the mouse through the Net.
You would know this if you are in international trade.

I started my global procurement consulting business from the basement of my house back in 1996 . Those were really tough times. The Asian financial crisis(1997-98) really took its toll on us - the common people. I grew up dirt poor so I knew how it felt like when you don’t even have two coins to rub together. Things were really bad during the Asian financial crisis. Companies were crashing down like flies back then.

And that was the time when my global procurement consulting business was just starting up. As it turned out the Asian financial crisis was actually a blessing. I discovered that this business actually thrived during a recession or financial crisis! I really made my money in the next two years while the Asian economy recovered and later expanded into other businesses. But until today my global procurement consulting business still remains as my flagship company. It is still one of my biggest money-makers .
 

Strange as it may sound, I am actually looking forward to the next
economic recession. It comes in cycles every 11 or 12 years. Do you know any businessman who looks forward to an economic recession? Now you know one.


Today, I’m doing well with a diversified portfolio (translation - multiple sources
of income) and I try as much as possible to give back to society and to help other people come up in life through charities, foundations, schools, universities, volunteer work, etc.


In fact, this website is one of the main contributors to my
philanthropic work. More details here .

I am a practising global procurement consultant and I have been doing this business for the last 15 years. So to me this is not just another academic exercise. This is a REAL business with REAL results. You can always refer to my GPC (global procurement consulting) website at http://www.axisnetonline.com for more ideas on how to run or expand your own GPC business. Please remember that this is a real and working website from which I do my GPC business DAILY. It is NOT a demo site. More on me here .

My GPC (global procurement consulting) business has served me well over the years.  It is a lucrative business and it has, over the years, provided me with the means to start and build up my other businesses dealing with mergers & acquisitions, JV brokering, Internet publishing, etc.

Now, back to this site .
 

Before you continue reading this page, just to give you a rough idea of how big and vibrant the international trade market is, just click on the links below :

The links above belong to a B2B portal (http://www.ecplaza.net) which deals with international trade. There are other, quite similar B2B portals which are many times bigger than the portal above. For many people, they are simply blown away by what they could see in the two examples above. Among the comments we have received so far -

• “There are so many tradeleads in the “Buy” and “Sell” sections”
   
• “People buy that much iron ore in one order?”
   
• “I never thought people buy and sell so many different types of products in just ONE place”
   
• “Are these offers for real? I can see so many opportunities to make money from this”
   
• “The marketplace is so vibrant with so many buyers and sellers from all over the world”

The links above are for newly posted “Buy” and “Sell” offers. They are dynamic links - the contents change everyday as more people post their offers. On any given day you might find people wanting to “Buy” or “Sell” items such as -

If you think you have seen a lot of the “Buy” and “Sell” offers at the links above then imagine how many more you can see at other B2B portals which are many times bigger than the portal above. Some of the bigger portals such as Alibaba.com or ECTrade.com can even have more than 1,000 “Buy” and “Sell”offers per DAY. In terms of lead generation it will take you years just to cover existing leads. Mind you, thousands of new leads are added daily across other B2B portals all over the world. And the cost of contacting all those potential customers? Nearly zero except for your monthly Internet connection bill with your local ISP.

International trade is not a fad or trend. It is an evergreen subject. As long as people buy and sell things ( cars, machines, textiles, medicines, canned food, rice, spices, fruits, chemicals, etc ) all over the world, then international trade will always be relevant. As long as people still buy and sell products all over the world then this GPC course will always be relevant and can be applied anywhere.


If you are looking for a business that offers a stable future and outlook then look no further.

Even normal Internet businesses run out of steam after some time. Have you ever found an Internet-related product which you believe you can still sell after 10 years on the market?

Do you believe existing products on SEO (search engine optimization) can still be used 10 years from now? Why is it that “Internet gurus” keep coming up with new products?

We can confidently say that our Course materials will still be relevant and usable 10 years from now. We don’t think international trade will be collapsing in the near future. If it does then all of us will be in big trouble.

"I have to give you my heartfelt thanks. After downloading your product, I went through the materials in a single evening. I had trouble sleeping that night with so many ideas coming to mind.

Your tactics, techniques and insider information simply rock! It’s a credit to you and your product. You have made it so easy to understand and apply. If I can do it from Alice Springs(in the middle of nowhere), others definitely can!!"

What is International Trade?

International trade is one of the hot industries of the new millennium. But it's not new. Think Marco Polo. Think the great caravans of the biblical age with their cargoes of silks and spices.

Think even further back to prehistoric man trading shells and salt with distant tribes. Trade exists because one group or country has a supply of some commodity or merchandise that is in demand by another. And as the world becomes more and more technologically advanced, as we shift in subtle and not so subtle ways toward one-world modes of thought, international trade becomes more and more rewarding, both in terms of profit and personal satisfaction.

We're living in a brave new world. The enthusiastic emergence of free market ideas around the globe have created an unprecedented bounty of international trade opportunities. Markets that didn't even exist a few short years ago now devour imported goods with startlingly voracious appetites.



As a global procurement consultant, you couldn't wish for a better setup. The world is your oyster, the globe your market.

So what does a global procurement consultant do?

A global procurement consultant is someone who leverages his time, knowledge, network and contacts to help international buyers find suppliers and vice versa.

In other words a global procurement consultant uses his expertise to help match buyers and sellers globally. By using the Internet as the main medium for doing business, he can effectively work from anywhere in the world. He can either work alone or with a team supporting him in the background. Computers and PDAs will be his main tools. He is a global player. The world is his playground.

You can work from your home and deal with your suppliers from China, Taiwan, India, Australia, The Middle East, Africa, Europe, America, South America, The Caribbean, even Alaska ...... just like they're in the same room with you. And you can give all your clients excellent service, just as if you were face-to-face. Thank God for modern day technology.

As a global procurement consultant, you're the "connect-the-dots" man. You don't physically handle the products yourself. You just make a fortune as the consultant who links the buyers and the suppliers. Here's a business very few people know well enough that you can operate from your home. You can make as much money as you have time to make. This is the type of business where you can hand it down later to your children and their children's children. So you must understand its long-term potential and viability.

But it’s fun, believe me, when you sit down with your cup of coffee in your favorite cafe on a Monday morning while other people are busy outside rushing to work or taking your kids to the park to fly their kites on a Wednesday afternoon while other people are busy going through their stressful meetings at the office.
 

16 Vital Facts About This Business

1. It’s flexible
   You can do this business full time or part time.
    
2. Home-based
   You can start this business from home or from anywhere .
    
3. Very easy (and cheap! ) lead generation
   There is an almost endless supply of leads at B2B portals dealing with international trade.
    
4. Very low start-up costs
   You probably have all the equipment needed already.
    
5. You can start from scratch
   It's entirely possible to start this business from scratch, zero, nada, zilch. You simply offset your deficit in international trade with your other assets (knowledge, contacts, etc) from a business you already know.
   
   If you're a computer whiz, start out with buyers and sellers dealing with computers. If your turf is chemicals then start out with buyers and sellers dealing with chemicals. Go with what you already understand.
    
6. Your market is global
   When you deal with international trade through the Internet, your market is global.
    
7. You can use this material for years to come
   As long as there is international trade and B2B portals supporting it then this GPC course will always be relevant and can be used over and over again.
    
8. No need for SEO (search engine optimization)
   This is perhaps the ONLY Internet-based business that is truly independent from SEO, if you wish to take that path. It makes no difference if you want to leave out SEO entirely from your marketing efforts.
    
9. You are free from the "feast and famine" cycle
   Some infoproducts such as ebooks suffer from the "feast and famine" cycle. Initially when launched, sales go up and up for about a month or so then tapers off. This is especially true for ebooks which deal with a specific "hot trend". When the "hot trend" slows down and eventually dies, so do the sales
   of ebooks dealing exclusively with that topic. This GPC (global procurement consulting) course is different as it deals with a subject (international trade) that is evergreen and is constantly moving. As long as people still buy and sell products all over the world then this GPC course will always be relevant.
    
10. You are not limited to your own country or region
    Since this GPC business makes use of the Internet and B2B portals extensively then your market is global. This GPC course will take you to the next level where now, instead of doing business locally , you will be going on the BIG hunt – you are going INTERNATIONAL by leveraging on the vast resources available on the Internet .
     
11. This type of business does not require that you have an intimate knowledge of other people in other countries
    A general understanding  is often more than enough. As long as you are respectful of other people and their cultures then you should be OK.
     
12. Some people worry that international trade might be affected by recessions, economic slowdowns, etc.
    Recessions are just minor glitches in international trading. One part of the world might be going through a recession but other parts of the world might be booming at that same, particular time. Even when deep in a recession, trade never actually stops. People still need to eat and buy other things. Life will still go on although at a much slower pace.
    
    This business is not affected by all that. We are using the Internet right? Through the Net you can go to any market you wish anywhere in the world. If let’s say South East Asia is going through a recession, America might be booming at that same time. This was what happened the last time in 1997. Since you are using the Internet to look for buyers and suppliers, just go the American market through the Net and look for your buyers and suppliers there. As simple as that.
     
13. Sample letters are included for your reference
    They are as near as possible to the real thing.
     
14. My own secrets revealed
    It's quite easy actually but you have to follow certain steps. Just like driving a car - you have to follow certain steps which will be revealed to you.
     
15. There is no need to attract traffic
    The only traffic to your site will be from your potential clients when they need more information about your company...and that is more than enough! So you don’t need to buy traffic through PPC, etc.
     
16. There is no need to process payments
    Your payments will go straight to your bank account, wherever that may be in the civilized world. Payments to you will mostly be done by TT or Wire Transfer so you don’t have to crack your head dealing with credit card payment gateways, late charges, refunds, etc.

Extra - Crash course in International Trade

"Believe me - you'll be learning tons of AMAZING stuff from Shahrul who is a real, practising global procurement consultant himself! I have benefited tremendously from his expert advice and experience. I’ve been in international trade for nearly 10 years. I didn’t think there was anything in this course I didn’t already know. But, ultimately, I was surprised to learn valuable techniques I’d never considered before"

Why is building a home-based business so damn hard for some people?

I'll let you in on a little secret that hardly no one "in the know" is talking about...

Building and maintaining a successful home-
based business that generates lots of buzz, loyal customers
and loads of profits is much more complex than simply putting
up an "I'm in business" sign or buying some
"turnkey" business package!

It's the truth and anyone who has a successful home-based business knows that it is the truth. Without a proper system to work with, it's not an easy thing to start. It's too risky simply leaving it to chance or pure luck.

And I should know. I have developed and marketed several online and offline home-based businesses. It took years of trial and error and even a few failures to develop a reliable and easy to manage system that works. Over the years I have developed "systems" to make my business life easier and more predictable. Just look at McDonalds or Domino's Pizza. Why is it that the same teenager who you cannot even trust to make his own bed at home instead can be trusted to manage a McDonalds restaurant? Because McDonalds uses "systems". With systems in place, a business owner can go on a round-the-world trip and his business will still run in his absence. You can call me a "systems" guy. I believe in systems and I know they work. And I'm speaking from experience.

 

The whole Course consists of -

1) The 300K Consulting Manual

2) Eleven(11) Advanced Series Guidebooks.

The Advanced Series Guidebooks deal with the finer points of doing this business. Through them we will show you the methods and strategies used to fine-tune this business (especially if you are dealing with overseas clients) so that you will get the best results in your dealings. Each Advanced Series Guidebook concentrates on a particular topic, explained in great detail with huge doses of real business experience added in.

It is very important to always keep in mind that professionalism and integrity are of the utmost importance in this field. Always think long-term and keep your clients' interests at heart.
 

"Shahrul's knowledge and dedication to the global procurement consulting field is evident as he shows you some of the MOST ADVANCED techniques available for you to create the most impact for your consulting business!"

The “Original” Manual

When we first went online on July 26, 2007 with the “$300K or More a Year Consulting from Home” Manual as our main product, we targetted the home business crowd as the Manual was specifically written for that market based my own real-life experiences as a practicing global procurement consultant since 1996.

The “$300K or More a Year Consulting from Home” Manual is a step-by-step guidebook that shows you the inside secrets, tips, and techniques you need to know to succeed at starting, running and expanding your own home-based  global procurement consulting (GPC) business.

In it you will learn how to set up your business, what equipment you will need, where to look for an almost endless source for lead generation, how to negotiate for your consulting fees, how to write business letters that produce results, etc, plus the insider secrets of an established global procurement consultant.

You'll learn everything you need to know to quickly build a profitable global procurement consulting business on a shoestring budget. This Manual covers a lot of ground. You'll even find sample letters and templates you can use as the framework for your own global procurement consulting business. This Manual will quickly show you how to build the kind of income that can easily exceed what you make on your 'real job'.

You can run your own global procurement consulting business from home and EARN MONEY without taking a step outside your home (except to collect the money from your bank!)



The “Members Area”

Based on customer feedbacks and requests , we have decided to take this business model a step higher by launching a blog and a “Members Area” at this site in May 2008  to further help our customers who have already bought this Manual and are really interested to start their own global procurement consulting business from home. How many people do you know on the Internet who wrote a Manual to teach people how to make money and then followed it up with a membership site to ensure that his customers get the proper training? Setting up a membership site is not actually a walk in the park. You need materials, commitment and a lot of creativity to set up and maintain a membership site. It’s not for the weak-hearted. If you have never done this business personally, forget about setting up a membership site on this topic. Your own members will grill you to death with their questions which you will never be able to answer since you do not have the experience or know-how.  


If you have bought this Manual from us before and are interested in joining our “Members Area” to learn more about this business, kindly contact us as you are eligible for some substantial rebates. Keep in mind that we have revised the whole Course and added more contents to it. The Manual you currently have in your possession is now a part of the whole revised Course.


Have you ever found yourself in the situation described below?

Many people write reports or guides on doing Internet businesses and then stop at that. The public is often left wondering if these businesses really work. Usually they have to buy the reports or guides first and then try them out. Often different people get different results. Most failed at it. But they have already spent money buying the reports and guides. There’s nothing much they can do about that. Asking for a refund is always a hassle. Most of them suffer in silence and move on to other things.



We, however, prefer to take a different path.

To prove that this consulting business is viable, we have taken the financial risk away from you by giving a  “trial-version” of this Manual to you for FREE for you to evaluate its potential.

This “trial-version” Manual is actually a “watered-down” version of the original Manual. It still contains about 40% of the original contents of the Manual which is more than enough to give you a detailed view of this business’ viability and its income generation potential . The rest(60%) is more on the technical know-how stuff - the “meat” of the Course. Just fill up the form at the bottom of this page so that we can send you instructions on how to download this “trial-version” Manual.
 


Just consider the facts below -


If we are not confident of our product’s business viability then do you think we would even dare to take such a bold step? If our product is pure rubbish then we will definitely be clobbered in our “Members Area” . We are very clear about this risk yet we are willing to take it. If this business is not “do-able” then we would not have committed ourselves to help our clients through our “Members Area”.


The biggest reason why we want to put our FREE, “trial-version” Manual into as many hands as possible is for people to evaluate for themselves the viability of this type of business and its income generation potential.


Should you decide to start this business after reading this FREE “trial-version” Manual then we would like to offer our help and guidance through our “Members Area” at this site. At least learn from our previous “trial and error” experiences and from our mistakes so that you won’t repeat them



PRICING                       

We have come up with a revised Course to include the latest developments in this field and we have integrated it together with other contents in our “Members Area”. Compared to buying an ebook, this way members will have faster access to recent developments which may have an impact on their business. 


Our Full Course (Manual + 11 Advanced Series guidebooks) costs USD 297 .

Also included is a 12-month complimentary membership with access to our “Members Area” where you can make full use of its features during that time.

Once you have completed the 12-month complimentary membership, you have the option where you can stay on as a senior member at our “Members Area” and enjoy the same member benefits at the price of USD 9.90 monthly recurring.


Join our “Members Area” where you can learn more about this business and network together with like-minded people. In it you will find more resources, links, articles, insider tips, contacts, professional advice, professional know-how, etc to help you start, run and expand your own respectable and lucrative, home-based global procurement consulting business. In other words we will show you the finer points, based on our experience, on how to make this business really work for you.

It’s too expensive

Some people might say that USD297 is a bit expensive.

Seriously, do you expect somebody to teach you how to make $300K or more a year for a one-time fee of just $3.95 ? I see a lot of that on the Internet. Sometimes it’s kinda insulting when you think about it. I won’t insult your intelligence by doing that.

There's a lot of hype floating around in consulting books and on blogs that talk about all the wonderful ways you can get rich overnight.

The people that talk like that are good at selling their own books and programs ... yet very few of them have actually run successful consulting businesses in the real world. I have been running my consulting business for the last 15 years with clients from all over the world - enough said.

There is a saying, "You get what you pay for". For instance, if a hair salon prices a haircut at $8 or $12, it will most likely attract people who don't care about the quality of a haircut and who don't want to pay for extra services like a wash or blow dry. Personal services are highly commoditized. You price low and what happens is you're going to attract the people willing to pay only the cheaper price. In turn, your profit margins are going to be razor thin, which means you won't have the resources to innovate or market your products. In fact, I know someone who prefers to pay $24 for a haircut, even if he's not sure it's going to be better than the $12 job. He simply would not trust someone cutting his hair for such a low price. He said he expects there is to be something wrong with their hair-cutting skills when they sell their services so cheap...it is the price itself that makes the value.

That would perhaps explain about the success of 5 Hour Energy, a 2-ounce shot-size drink filled with vitamins and amino acids that retails for $2.99, competing against a well-branded concoction like Red Bull, which comes in a 12-ounce container and retails for an average of $2. At a higher price than its competitors, with less drinkable volume and a relatively unimaginative brand name, 5 Hour Energy has gone from nothing to nearly $1 billion in retail sales in less than a decade. So much for using price to capture customers. Tim Smith, managing principal at Chicago consulting firm, Wiglaf Pricing says "Customers don't just buy on price, they buy on value – the value that the product or service offers. If you offer a superior product, price it accordingly". Customers buy because you provide something they value, not just because it is cheap.

Join us at our “Members Area” and learn how to do a home-based business with a global audience dealing with an evergreen subject - international trade.

Why is it an “evergreen subject”? International trade has been around since the dawn of time. Recessions are just minor glitches in international trading. One part of the world might be going through a recession but other parts of the world might be booming at that same, particular time. Even when deep in a recession, trade never actually stops. People still need to eat and buy other things. Life will still go on although at a much slower pace. As long as people still buy and sell products all over the world then this GPC business will always be relevant. And since we are using the Internet to do this business then the markets, players and relevant information are just at the end of our fingertips

Seriously, we are talking about consulting here - an area where people don’t blink about paying top money for helping them solve a particularly pressing problem (getting customers is the TOP agenda with any company, anywhere. No customers --> no sales --> no business - as simple as that).

It is not by accident that all over the world, consultants are among some of the highest paid members of society. And remember, you can use this knowledge for years to come. You can even pass on this business and knowledge to your children.

Mind you, I have managed to keep all this to myself for the last 15 years. It makes no difference to me to, again, keep all this knowledge and wealth of experience to myself for the next 20 or 30 years while still continuing to make my money from all over the world quietly.

Consider this as an investment. We have already taken away the risk of you losing your money by giving the “trial-version” Manual to you for FREE for you to evaluate its potential.  Our FREE “trial-version” Manual comes with no strings attached .

This is the type of business that most people can only dream about a couple of years ago since the technology to do it online was expensive and not widely available at that time. This business should appeal to

   * people who are looking for a home based business
   * entrepreneurs who would like to diversify their business
   * single parents with small children
   * retirees who are still active
   * students with business inclinations
   * new grads who want to be independent
   * working people who want to spend more time with their children
   * people who retire early but still need to generate an income, etc.
      
 

Through rapid advancement of technology, consulting can now be done from home without losing any of the respect that it has garnered over the years.

Business people nowadays are more concerned about solving their business problems. And in many situations consultants hold the key to solving many of those problems.

It doesn’t matter if the consultant comes from a remote area somewhere in the Himalayas or from a swank corporate office in downtown Manhattan. The Internet has made the world smaller. An email can reach a client in seconds. Consulting is no longer confined to the corporate office. It has come full circle.

Get it NOW and start a consulting business from home TODAY using the Net. This is a ground floor opportunity in a business which is very different from other Internet businesses that you might have come across so far.  Learn from someone who has been making a mint for himself while keeping it a secret for the last 15 years.
