Experience FTN exporting founder Davide Papa has been trading for over 20 years- and has dealt with a huge variety of corporate entities including Gold and crude oil suppliers. FTN appeared in a major controversial Newspaper editorial in 1994. 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. FTN exporting has created the said doctrine and supporting rules of trade defined as "URPIB" (Uniform Rules and Practice for Intermediaries and Brokers), which will (has?) become the most successful set of private intermediary rules ever created.

Question Fundermentally and Technically i strongly agree with you that i should commence the practicable and effective learning curve by studying procedures, learning the edicts, practice- then look for and secure supply - then seal the deal myself as buyer/seller with my end buyer or seek assitance of other FTXN intermediaries after securing supply.
I had earlier before my question mailed on the above topic on how can i get your publication in order to benefit from the 1year free registration but got no response.
I believe this should be a good start.
Answer
Dear Luqman
Yes that's the only way to really be 100% safe. You can use intermediaires to source end buyers BUT only when you are 100% sure that supply is very real- and You are controlling the deal as Buyer/seller-
You simply do not accepet offers from another "seller "unless you are assured that supply is real and they will "step back" to you eventually.No assurance ..No deal is the number one rule-
Thus NONE or hardly no intermediaries are beween you and the supplier in where many intermediaries may apply to secure an end buyer FOR YOU
in where in return you protect their commission-becuase of your SKILL in being able to clsoe such a deal where other simply don't know how to do so-
There is nothing more devestaing, and i can tell you from experience to trade for 5 years to finally get a huge deal and get the money in the bank (USD$180 Million ) to find out that the seller had nothing-
It destroys your moral- I actually couldn't trade for a year when it happened to me- thus i went to college I learned International trade procedures and developed such procedures so that intermediaries can use such effectively and safely-
I have answered your email- Go to www.ftnexporting.com it has all details on the publication page via top toolbar- The publicaiton is purchased and to which registration is given for one year-
