  • ”Jos ei kerry prospekteja, vika on brändissä. Jos ei saa sovittua myyntitapaamisia, tarina ei ole tarpeeksi kirkas. Jos ei päästä tekemään tarjouksia, vika on tarjoomassa. Ja jos ei synny kauppaa, vika on joko hinnassa tai myyjien taidoissa”, väittää Aalto.
  • ”Hallituksen tehtävä on ymmärtää putki: prospektit (mahdolliset asiakkaat), tapaamiset, tarjoukset ja deal flow (kauppasopimukset). Tämän perusteella pitää pystyä ennakoimaan liikevaihto”, sanoo Aalto.

    This article is about following up planned sales activities (sorry, In Finnish). Some words of wisdom: - If there are not enough prospects then there is sth wrong with your brand. - If you can't get appointments then your story is not clear enough. - If you are not asked to submit proposals then there is a problem in your offering. - If you can not close deals then the problem is in price or in your skills

  • In China, City Maintenance and Construction Tax is levied on transactions subject to VAT, Business Tax, and Consumption Tax. The tax base is the amount of VAT, Business Tax, and Consumption Tax paid. Tax rates are 7 percent for taxpayers in urban districts of cities, 5 percent for taxpayers in towns, and 1 percent for taxpayers in other areas.
  • This tax unification will increase the tax burden on operations and investment in China by foreign companies.
  • VAT payers who pay VAT at the regular rate of 17 percent of the sales price will need to pay an additional 1.7 percent of the sales price as City Maintenance and Construction Tax and Education Surcharge

  • If you require your China operations to directly buy and sell, have its own import/export license, and legitimately trade in China – you will need to change your current RO structure to that of a foreign invested commercial enterprise (FICE) or wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE)
  • 2. ROs are now more expensive to operate than a FICE or WFOE
  • foreign invested commercial enterprises (FICE) These are typically used for the following business activities: • Import-export and distribution • Retailing: selling goods and related services to individuals from a fixed location, in addition to TV, telephone, mail order, internet and vending machines, • Wholesaling: selling goods and related services to companies and industry, trade or other organizations • Agencies, brokerages: representative transactions on the basis of provisions • Franchising Use of wholly foreign owned enterprises (WFOE) in the services industry • Consulting, other professional services • Quality control, after sales services, product design, technical support, sampling (although minimum amount permitted)
  • WFOEs may also be used for manufacturing.
  • the establishment of both a FICE and a WFOE are rather more complex than an RO
  • The structuring and application of the new FICE/WFOE can be combined at the same time as the RO closure.

    Hmmm... If FICE/WFOE are more complex to setup then what about FIPs - Foreign Invested Partnersips?
