Jim Vrondas from World First joins me today and we chat about the importance of Supplier Relations, actually visiting your suppliers rather than relying just on Alibaba for your sourcing needs from afar.

At the Amazon Collective back in March, Jim did a presentation about Forward Contracts which sound might sound a bit ‘dry’ but in reality can eliminate your currency movement risks and is super easy to set up.

Speaking of Jim, he invited me to speak alongside other ecommerce experts at the free World First event next Thursday 1st of August. If you’d like to register for free, head over to www.theaustralianseller.com/worldfirst
