Greetings from Johannesburg, South Africa and thanks for the bid offer!
I am the perfect candidate for this job. As it turns out, I have over a decades' experience in sourcing quality products directly from over 100 Chinese manufacturers. From carpets to furniture, to wall oil paintings, to toilet paper made of organic natural material, to canned foods such as tomato puree - you name it!
I would suggest we do a test project whereby you send me the specifications of a particular product that you are looking for, and advice on what you are currently purchasing the product/products for, at wholesale rates. I shall return to you with an offer directly from the manufacturer with the price delivered to your store or warehouse. We (with my partner based in China, close proximity to some of the factories) can also arrange a sample of the products as well. You may travel for factory visits (highly recommended) because we have an office in China.
I have worked for RCI South Africa before as an international travel consultant, and I have worked as a call scorer for Vacation Rental Pros (they are based in USA - Florida). Working in the travel industry afforded me the opportunity to deal with clientele from all over the world. I have inbound, outbound and internet customer care experience. Finally, I hold a bachelors degree in Sociology and Community Development, which may pose as an advantage to this project.
Looking forward to working for your company soon.
Kind regards,
Mendi.
