Income: Page Two, Finding Your Place in the Market
 

GSS Certified Brokers provide services for their clients in every corner of the globe. Literally the whole world is your market. Brokers are able to work successfully in so many areas by using the business platform, tools, resources and marketing systems created by Global Secure Services.

The question is: What do you want? Certainly, an important question and one that you should make sure you answer before you commit to any business. Over the years we've discovered typical questions that potential brokers ask themselves. These questions include:

What part of the world do you have an interest in? Well, if you're thinking about relocation you can work anywhere you have phone and computer access. The majority of our brokers work from their home offices but many travel extensively and use a laptop and a cell phone to conduct business. More importantly the question really asks what areas of the world do you want to do business with? That's really up to you. The GSS business platform gives you the tools to work from anywhere with anyone. New auto parts from South Korea to the USA? - sure. Used farm equipment from Canada to Nigeria? - no problem. Apples from New Zealand to the European Commonwealth? - definitely. 300,000 metric tons of refined sugar from Brazil to Japan? - absolutely! The examples go on and on, the point is actually you can work anywhere with anyone with any products you choose. Most importantly it means that you're not limited. You can broker anything to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
 
 
Do you have relatives, friends or contacts in other parts of the world? Think about who you know. Contacts are always valuable. Your connections with other people in other parts of the country or the world can lead to deals or, better yet, long term relationships.
Are you familiar with another economic system or economic culture? Have you traveled, lived or worked in another country? Do you have military experience, stationed overseas? Do you know the geography, the culture, the needs of other people? What an advantage! Use your knowledge.

  Do you speak a foreign language? Another asset that could lead to many opportunities. For example, one broker with a client from Brazil who spoke only Portuguese partnered with another broker who was fluent in the language. Together they expanded the account and created a long term relationship with the client.  
  What are your income goals?  A very important point to consider. If your goals are to make large money then make your move to larger trades and situations. It sounds fundamental but you'd be surprised how many people limit themselves and their incomes by thinking small.  
 


Above all, make sure you ask yourself the question: What do I want? Make an outline of what is important to you. Write down all of your questions. Discuss your goals and concerns with your GSS Information Specialist. If your goals are reasonable and within reach, we'll map out and develop a plan to get you where you want to go.
