actually guna yg the famous B2B portal pn boleh..ni dah masuk bab 'terajang-menrajang'..gpc is diff with others, u may face scruplous agent or broker or mandate..pleas filter all those kind of people..but make sure your supplier is genuine..please chek back the manual,semua ada trick2 yg abg bear minta..
cm saya yg nk masuk 2 tahun,actually lepas dalam 5-12bulan,enquiry akan makin menigkat dsbbkan supplier kdg 2 lmbat aware dgn posting kita..benda ni makan masa,yg xda basic dlm trading kena double your effort..
my progress, my buyer dah visit warehouse dan akan confirm tarikh shipping by this month..it take 5month baru smpi this stage,dari bulan 2 tempoh hari..hal ini disebabkan buyer sbenarnya trading company dan resell and deliver those product to 1 of major company in asia..cm untung atas angin juga tp beza dari broker or agent..payment melalui mereka..ni ada dlm cha[ter dgn siapa kita ptt deal..cumanya mereka nk confirm stock dan hantar ke 2 port berlainan..1 in Hungary dan 1 lagi ke Korea xsilap..if okay maybe bulan 9 InsyaAllah dpt my first payment..lagi pula it is 1 year contract minimum..
saya juga dpt enquiry from malaysia company dan other enquiry product..my local supplier is okay cuma buyer nk kena filter..few month back..supplier mention few mill owner take action ada 1 group scammer tipu,ambik duit but then do not deliver..my supplier which is buyer juga kena scam..rugi 100k,if sorang dah 100k minimum dia p bedal,xtawla yg lain2..
if u ada lubuk supplier or buyer u wont get easily give to others..it is your goldmine..tinggal ambik masa tuai saja..

"if u ada lubuk supplier or buyer u wont get easily give to others..it is your goldmine..tinggal ambik masa tuai saja.." - this statement is very true.
Agaknya sebab tu budak2 GPC yg dah berjaya tak nak komen apa2 dalam forum ni(although I believe they DO visit and read the comments here tapi tak nak bagi komen apa2). Bab goldmine ni bukan benda main2. I believe many of them dah jumpa goldmine masing2 in their own niche/product market. I also have a few goldmines which I have never shared with anybody.
That's the whole idea about doing this GPC business ni. Become very good in your area of specialization/product selection and really dig into it. The market is already there. And it's HUGE. Tinggal kita nak buat atau tidak je. Of course you cannot cover everything . That's why I always emphasize on concentrating on just 2 or 3 products only. It's more than enough to keep you busy. And there is more than enough money in those markets , even with just 2 or 3 products. You are talking about the global market here, not the Malaysian market alone.
We found out something last April when we analysed our database - jumlah Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indians yg buat GPC ni dah melebihi jumlah org Melayu yg buat GPC.
We keep track of these figures in our database. Although the majority of members kat 300kconsulting.com tu masih lagi foreigners(now about 87%, Malaysians about 13%) tapi dah ada peningkatan dari Malaysians(previously less than 10%). Tapi kebanyakan peningkatan dari Malaysians ni datangnya mostly from Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indians. Bila ditanya rupanya ramai dia org ni yg ikut thread forum GPC kat Carigold dgn Melayuniaga ni.
We also noticed some trends. Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indians ni ada a few similarities dgn other foreigners
1) Tak ramai yg mintak nak jumpa personally although they know I am in KL. Very different from a few org Melayu ni yg kalau boleh every week nak jumpa. Kita pun serba salah dibuatnya.
2) They prefer to ask us through email kalau ada apa2 masalah. Forum yg kami buka kat site tu lengang
3) They usually follow the steps first and ask questions later . Org Melayu kita ni lain sikit. Ramai yg kita kena pegang tangan step by step walaupun dalam manual dah diterangkan apa yg perlu dibuat. Sepatutnya buatlah dulu. Kalau belum buat mcm mana nak tahu kenapa kena buat mcm tu. Ada yg sampai setiap surat yg nak dihantar kepada supplier/buyer they sent a copy first to us for our comments. Sebenarnya tak perlu sampai mcm tu sekali. Have some confidence in yourself.
4) Tahap kesabaran mereka very different dari org Melayu. They are more focussed and attentive. Kami selalu nasihatkan buat GPC ni secara part-time dulu tapi ada di antara mereka yg terus masuk full-time buat GPC ni. Some of them have this "do-or-die" attitude.
5) A few of them commented to me on our GPC forum kat Carigold and Melayuniaga. They read the comments and felt that many at these forums are too timid dan tak berjiwa besar utk buat bisnes at global level.
These are among the comments I have received from Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indians yg buat GPC ni. Merah jugak telinga mendengar kadang2 but these are among the things we can change and improve. A global business mcm GPC ni memang la kita akan jumpa mcm2 jenis org. I take those comments as "cadangan/komen membina" bukan nak menjatuhkan siapa2. We have to accept our weaknesses and improve ourselves. Hopefully we can do better next time.
