00:24:04	Yvonne & Peter:	Same here!
00:24:10	KELLY LOGAN:	$155 bargain!
00:27:04	SallyH:	I give my PO and QC at the same time so we can work throguh any isssues prior
00:30:30	Jamie Paros:	Agree with you both guys. 👌
00:31:27	Karen:	Such a great tip Wayne, saves alot of $$ not having every single sample sent to you.
00:31:36	Michael Robinson:	Sourcing agent asking US$18 per hour to act on the ground for me..... how does that compare with rates otehrs have?
00:31:39	Ian:	My sourcing agent has saved me many times and has definitely saved me money.
00:32:14	Ian:	$US 20 per hour Michael
00:32:18	paul and cindy:	whats the price approx for a sourcing assistant
00:32:20	Rosie:	US $15 to $18 sounds good
00:32:23	Julie-Anne Popp:	$18 is good.  I have one for $15, translator that does some basic assistance
00:32:37	Michael Robinson:	THanks :). nice to know the "going rate" :)
00:33:11	Marianne Edmonds:	i am with you ian, our agent has saved us heaps of time HOWEVER we work full time and find it hard to fit it all in. 
00:33:12	paul and cindy:	thanks :)
00:33:20	Lynda Pedder:	Yes  - they pay $6k USD to be on ALibaba
00:34:29	Terry Maru:	Thanks all for sharing the hourly rates!!!!
00:36:40	Jamie Paros:	Do a real small deal to test the water. or....fly over and check it out. Kill a few birds with one stone and plan some other tasks to complete over there. 👍
00:37:01	Michael Robinson:	THanks Lynda I didn't know that..... not sure if my agent is on Alibaba though (how to check?)
00:37:41	Neale & Di Tayler:	What if the supplier has a patented part
00:37:43	Gideon:	Good point Florian
00:37:46	Yvonne & Peter:	Yes, I had some trust issues with my supplier based on things that were said about Chinese suppliers. Was unfounded every time, had a great experience overall.
00:38:50	KELLY LOGAN:	The only protection is to have an International design patent.  Alibaba will take down all copycat istings if you have an international design patent
00:39:27	Glenn Merrigan:	yep
00:39:43	John:	yes
00:39:47	Phil Hadfield:	currently we have a quote for a sample being delivered to the uk (for two items) at 120 USD but to send to our "employee" in Shenzen, China, its 80 USD. We would then have to pay that person so I'm thinking it's probably just better to get the samples posted to the UK? do people have this similar experience or is there normally a bigger difference in price?
00:40:10	Marianne Edmonds:	hellllo mark
00:40:10	caroline:	I asked my supplier if she would keep my bundled product just for me, and she agreed to that.
00:40:25	Stuart Sutherland:	Thanks Mark
00:40:37	Mary Cotterill:	But Mark, how do you really know?
00:42:00	Florian, Co-host:	great questions Gideon!
00:42:31	Michael Robinson:	Do Chinese Suppliers care about NNN?
00:42:32	KELLY LOGAN:	I ike to have everything sent to me…like florian
00:42:48	Phil Hadfield:	thanks Kelly!
00:43:14	Mike Vaughan:	Jamie!
00:43:22	Rachels phone:	JP!!
00:45:54	JANE PROCTER:	I bring my samples home when I go to China/Hong Kong that I am very interested in.. Also I get to know personally the supplier that I could potentially work with.   I just take a large suitcase with me!
00:45:58	Stuart Sutherland:	amortisation
00:46:07	KELLY LOGAN:	Pay for your mold and pay for the new one when that mold runs out.  They only have limited life!
00:46:17	Phil Hadfield:	thanks jane, really useful!
00:46:39	KELLY LOGAN:	I sen
00:48:07	KELLY LOGAN:	I send my supplier (person I am dealing with) a gift even when they send just the samples as a thank you.  Goes a long way in terms of relationships.
00:48:44	Bart Rogulski:	Yes is does
00:52:00	Gideon:	And then you can put made in the US on it
00:53:57	Marianne Edmonds:	samples and samples cost..... we got two of our three samples back. Just paid first
00:54:03	John:	I paid for insurance on the shipping of my P100 products.  Worth it!
00:54:18	Yvonne & Peter:	Ah, that's why my supplier said the sample was free but it cost a fortune to send it here, haha
00:54:30	JANE PROCTER:	John who did you use for insurance?
00:54:36	SallyH:	depends. i have some i have been charged for and other that have given me a lot of samples during the modifiction phase for free
00:55:45	John:	Jane Procter, I used Pack & Send and used their insurance.
00:56:07	Muna Muna:	thanks John 
00:56:08	JANE PROCTER:	thanks John
00:56:48	Jamie Paros:	Pack and send have public liability John??
00:57:03	Michael Robinson:	THank you - I often feel like im good at reverse engineering and design.... but I stink at product selection 
00:57:13	Gideon:	Fear is the biggest enemy
00:57:36	Tracey & Beth:	Thanks Wayne!
00:57:42	Yvonne & Peter:	Thank you, Wayne, this stuff is so good to hear :) 
00:57:49	KELLY LOGAN:	I know that I don’t know much but what I do know is that I will know
00:57:59	John:	I don't know Jamie Paros.  Insurnance on loss or damage to my products.
00:58:00	Marisa Orfanidis:	your biggest problem is taking part in activity that doesn’t include risk and fear!!
00:58:45	JANE PROCTER:	I drew my product with specifications and then went to Fiveer and had it professionally done and sent to manufacturer
00:59:09	Jamie Paros:	Question was around public liability on your P100 products. should you take it out? Not shipping insurance. All good mate.
00:59:38	SallyH:	I send my PO and QC at the same time and have been in negotiations for 2 weeks just on terms
01:00:05	John:	Didn't need public liability insurance on my products.
01:00:09	Gideon:	look it up on uspto
01:00:46	SallyH:	I had a slogan on my first project 100 and didnt check anything
01:01:14	Jamie Paros:	No worries mate. 👍 just tread carefully I you continue to sell that product. it’s TOS to have PL insurance asa pro seller👍👍
01:01:25	RoseDeMichele:	Hi Shannon!

01:03:27	Rachels phone:	ask for photos and video too by WeChat
01:03:42	Yvonne & Peter:	Depends on the person though, I did my entire negotiations on Alibaba messager. She never asked for anything else and it worked quite well.
01:04:20	Jamie Paros:	Wayne you need a power point on that wall in your new place. Just doesn’t feel right mate.
01:04:23	Sarah:	I did all of mine via WhatsApp - it was easy with pics and videos, too
01:04:53	John:	I've had direct phone calls with my supplier about details of what I'm wanting and he's been fantastic.  Has a great command of the English language!
01:05:01	KELLY LOGAN:	I send a lot of pictures on Alibaba. I find that they respond better visually
