00:09:04 Georgia Watt: what did I miss? 00:09:42 Rosie: Hello Amanda Jane, welcome and thanks for joining us all 00:10:43 Jane Leadbeater: You and Sam can do it together Wayne - he’s always talking about that! You’d have to be cool with a mostly naked hobbit getting around the deck though. 😀 00:10:53 Duncan & Cathrn: Great to share that goal with us Wayno.... :) 00:11:17 Wendy porter: Thanks Amanda look forward to a tour of your boat :) 00:12:27 Yvonne & Peter: Not too far from us here in Cairns :) 00:21:14 Alex: Would you ask the supplier all the questions right from the start? 00:21:44 SallyH: I had to travel 2hrs on a plane and 3 hours in a car to one of mine 00:22:48 Florian: I found most suppliers are more than happy to pick you up from the next city/train station/airport, even before placing an order. 00:23:57 Troy & Amanda Wakley: Amanda's course has all this gold information at your fingertips :-)) Its sooooo good!! 00:24:02 KELLY LOGAN: Suppliers love you visiting and will go out of their way to collect you. Albeit so you don’t visit other suppliers but they really do look after you. 00:26:13 Troy & Amanda Wakley: Totally agree Florian, our supplier drove 2 hours each way to come and get us. And all we had done was enquire! Hadnt even moved anywhere near towards putting in an order and they were so hospitable. I really think amandas docs helped us present as professionals and not novices so they treated us so well from the get go!! 00:26:38 Michelle and Rose: we just used Amanda's NNN and PO Agreement today! fabulous information and so professional. Thank you Amanada 00:28:13 SallyH: agree about them taking care of you. i even had one supplier insist on paying our accomodation 00:30:52 Jane Leadbeater: My experience was that there is such a thing as question overload in emails. If I bombarded them with too many questions at once they just stopped answering them. Pick the important ones. 00:32:40 Wendy porter: Yes just pick 3 at a time 00:32:45 Karen: I totally agree Jane 00:32:47 Duncan & Cathrn: Wise words Amanda, thankyou 00:32:48 SallyH: contstant 00:33:04 Michelle and Rose: last two days solid 00:33:16 Troy & Amanda Wakley: Very frequent WeChat messages outwith formal emails 00:33:19 SallyH: wechat constantly. 00:33:20 Georgia Watt: in contact with them multiple times a week 00:33:27 Georgia Watt: sending gifts during production too 00:33:31 Yvonne & Peter: I wonder if you then order from both or tell the other they're only a back up? 00:33:32 Duncan & Cathrn: constantly talking to supplier 00:33:34 SallyH: a visit makes a HUGE difference 00:33:35 Quentin Napier: In contact almost every day!!! 00:33:44 Bec Fischer: WeChat daily - I meet them in two weeks - both suppliers 00:33:51 KELLY LOGAN: You have to present professionally and know your stuff. Become the expert in your product from materials, functions… EVERYTHUNG. 00:34:00 Neil Macey: My potential supplier contacts me via whatapp every Friday to see if I am coming to China 00:34:41 Tim & Jackie Jones: My supplier sent me a birthday present xx 00:35:08 Rosie: Yes become the expert in your product 00:35:19 SallyH: Mine wanted to take me to a Karaoke bar when I was there and had brought presents for my kids. 00:35:28 Wendy porter: did you sing? 00:35:40 Duncan & Cathrn: Process, process, process. Will add professionalism to everything and increase product quality... 00:35:52 SallyH: in return I sent my freight forwarder and my manifacture sales assist a present for thir babies too. 00:36:43 Georgia Watt: i find being heavily process oriented also gives you the headspace to deal with any anomalies quickly too 00:36:57 SallyH: having two helps with the price negotiations too 00:37:33 KELLY LOGAN: Don’t put up with any crap from your supplier. YOU are always in charge and calling the shots. The Chinese are used to dealing with people who are bossy but respectful. Always use your manners too. - that gets you a long way in getting things done quickly and succinctly. 00:37:53 Troy & Amanda Wakley: Number all the questions and they just copy and paste the questios with their replies which is perfect 00:38:28 SallyH: i found as long as they are a specialist in that raw material they were able to make original product idea. 00:38:31 Marisa’s iPhone: great point!! 2 Q’s per email! wow, I have been slapping them with so much more! 00:39:27 Troy & Amanda Wakley: Great tip thanks Sally H 00:41:06 Troy & Amanda Wakley: You always have something intelligent to say Wayne :-) 00:41:37 Duncan & Cathrn: Yes, do it.
