I am always available for consultation and other things. I make myself available for anything
business-related. And most of all, I am honest, I only get my fair share of profits. I never let my-
self be overcome with greed.

3. Are you in the importing business? Why or why not? Is this a feasible ven-
ture?

Sample answer:
I am now preparing the documents for an importing business. I decided to get into that be-
cause I think it’s going one step higher in the business world. It’s one thing to run a local busi-
ness, and a totally different thing to venture into another place. The investment is big, but I
know that it also yields big returns.

1. Pretend that you are working on an importing deal with a client. Ask about
the following information about a possible project.

a. place of delivery
b. number of product order
c. price of product order
d. possible profit derived from the business

Sample answer:
Good morning! Thanks for giving time to this meeting. I just have a few questions about our
upcoming importing deal. My boss wants to know more about number of products that we
have to prepare. We also need the place of delivery because we want to check out the rates of
delivery for these products. For starters, can we get the range we can work on for our product
prices? Are there ready computations on the possible profits that we will earn for every poten-
tial price estimate that we have? I hope that you can answer all these questions, so that we can
go all the way on this importing project.

2. You need to team up with a reputable importer to comply with the order of a
client. The following requirements have to be met. Present these conditions
to a colleague who will help you scout for an importer.

a. Capable of producing 1000 pieces of computer spare parts in a month
b. Can deliver the merchandise within a week

Sample answer:
Hi! Thanks for helping me look for an importer who can meet the demands we have for this
special project. We need an importer who can produce 1000 pieces of computer spare parts in
a month’s time. Obviously, we are talking about a very competent supplier here. The supplier
also needs to deliver the said number of spare parts within a week. Those are my two very im-
portant requirements. I hope that you can help me look for an importer who can meet these
conditions as soon as possible. Thanks again for your help.
