You're all set! You've got your bags packed, your tickets and hotel booked, a translator arranged, the right team assembled and you know where you're going and who you'll be meeting with. So what do you do when you get there?
What are your expectations? Are you banking on out-of-this-world success? A choice of products at less than half your current costs and professional factories that are efficient, wired and fluent in English? While everything is possible, that doesn't mean that any of these outcomes are probable. If you want wired and fluent with international standards, you are going to pay for it, just like you would at home. If you want lower prices, be prepared for much more leg work to get the quality you expect. So try to understand your international market and adjust expectations accordingly. If you are buying commodities, the prices in China are going to be about the same as in the West. The Chinese advantage is cheap and abundant labor and if your product is not labor intensive, it may not be any cheaper than your home country after you figure in shipping.
