Incoterms® rules are a set of internationally recognised terms used in contracts to define buyers’ and sellers’ obligations when shipping goods internationally. They are used to clearly communicate the tasks, costs and risks associated with the global or International transportation and delivery of goods. Using the right Incoterms makes your export process run smoothly and, as our trainers are experts in International Trade, we will show you how to use Incoterms properly to help you grow your export profits.
This course is for those working in an export environment who have a basic understanding of Incoterms or have already completed the Export course where Incoterms are introduced. This could be useful if your role involves International trade, Freight Forwarding and Logistics.

All business owners agree that it’s critical to get customers aware of their offer, and to regularly remind and entice them to come back to buy again. And all business owners also usually agree that they struggle to know what might be the best ways to do this, when they have limited / no funds to spend on their marketing activities.
This workshop will use the ‘theory of constraints’ model to help business owners realise that they are already far more creative than they might realise in how they can reach new customers, as well as maintain relationships with existing ones, when they appear to have no budget to be able to spend on doing this.
