FTN Exporting official publication "International Trade and the Successful Intermediary"(ITSI) is about to be released world wide (December 2009) by the prestigious U.K publishing firm Gower's (U.K) and is listed on Amazon.com (Keyword: International Trade Intermediary) ITSI is ostensibly the first uniform intermediary trading doctrine of its kind, and will become the standard intermediary practice world wide in years to come.

Question Dear Mr.Papa,
Based on further reading of past answered questions presented to you, I can see that it can be "wild jungle" out there especially for new aspiring intermediaries. For that reason I would like to propose doing my first deal with your direct help with potential buyers even if it might mean you having a place at the table. I really want to either be listed on your private listing or introduced to confirmed "real" buyers who are used to doing deals. As a matter of fact I would like to send you the original "soft offer" from my suppliers that I spoke of before.
Mr.Papa I love your website it has material and concepts that should taught both in international law and international business curriculum of universities worldwide. But still I'm a little happy that everyone doesn't know about your wisdom or else it wouldn't feel so exclusive and special.
Thank you for your time, I'm still earnestly looking forward to the answers of my earlier post.
Brian
Answer
Dear Essien
Again thank you for your compliments - Only those how have purchased my publication on my site can be evaluated for such matters- They need to show me serious trading intent, which is done by making the purchase- Everyone needs to "Speak the same language'- I simply don't have the time to teach everyone- If after a few month of Learning I can see that a particular trader has the required ability to learn, access to ftnx.net is given- in where basic support is then ongoing. It takes at least 10 months of solid support for a intermediary to pick up the concept fully- many Buy the publication and give up trading after 3/4 months as being too hard, after reading the true nature of this business- hence only very serious applicants remain on board.
Hope you can understand my unique but difficult position- being ostensibly one of the only (few) intermediary expert on the planet has its drawback- Being the only person to effectively produce a fully uniform intermediary application supported by Rules and laws has taken me 20 year of trial and error to produce.
