Business to business negotiations permit certain margins for cost over-runs unlike when you are global sourcing for own consumption by way of letting you monetize the B2B goods as they are available at your port. But on the B2B negotiation table for import/export, the best strategy to adapt is letting the opposite party do the bulk of talking and wait for loose ends to pitch in. Besides, this keeps your lacunas in your preparedness with regards to import/export procedure of that country.

Business to business negotiation is the crucial get-ahead tool in a global sourcing scenario. Import and export expertise apart, business to business negotiations take thorough understanding of local etiquettes and legal structures assume center stage. This article takes a peep into the role of B2B on import & export negotiation besides exploring business to business negotiation basics. The postulations of the article provide the framework for newer perspectives for business to business negotiation, with a lean on import and export in the global sourcing backdrop. Any B2B global sourcing tangle can be solved through business to business negotiation.

Have the meeting agendas communicated to each other ahead of arriving at the B2B negotiation table to avoid breakdowns. The following steps may be used in any B2B or import and export negotiations.

1. Endear yourself to your party by showing your concerns for the cultural differences and exhibit your interest in their etiquettes before moving onto import/export and financial negotiations.
2. Introduce yourself as a global sourcing representative for your company and you are in the import and export business for xx number of years.

3. Ask whether it is alright to get straight to the point and where they would like to begin from, hint them to start the talk.

Be warned that many B2B and global sourcing negotiations have flopped due to trivial reasons despite experience in import and export.

ExecutiveBrief Staff asked:


By ExecutiveBrief Staff

What’s the best way to identify and implement process improvement for your business? Gain the knowledge you need to determine if CMMI will fit the bill.

Many enterprises fully appreciate the business value in assessing their progress through a program that delivers a measurable maturity or capability rating. In the improvement of business processes ranging from software development to project management, this effort can be accomplished by instituting the Capability Maturity Model Integration, or CMMI.

What Is CMMI?

Current CMMI best practices are published in documents called models, which each address a different area of business processes: 1) product and service development and 2) supply chain management, including acquisition and outsourcing. According to the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), in each case, CMMI contributes to the interaction of traditionally separate organizational functions as well as to set process improvement goals and generally guides the quality process. In software or product development, a business must ask itself, what’s not working with our current way of developing wares? Decision makers must have a clear answer to this question in order to understand how the CMMI model can be applied.

Why CMMI?

The business model weighs in as a primary consideration. CMMI will be a must if your business is involved in product development for federal agencies, or if you are a subcontractor to a federal agency’s primary contractor. If this is your customer base, CMMI may well come up in the request for proposal (RFP).

If this is not your principal customer base, you may need more justification for implementing a process improvement program. According to Bill Smith, president and principal consultant at Leading Edge Process Consultants of Vienna, Virginia, and veteran SEI-authorized CMMI instructor, “CMMI forces the business to think long and hard about business objectives. Organizations X, Y, and Z have differing business priorities,” he says. If time to market, for example, is a priority, it will become one of the business objectives addressed in your CMMI-based improvement effort.

But clarifying business objectives isn’t the only advantage of CMMI. As Smith notes, “When applied correctly, it helps the business to operate better, cheaper, and faster, and it reduces risk.”

Software development is a process that may benefit from CMMI. The SEI reports that, on average, software businesses dedicate 65 percent or more of their engineering dollars to addressing quality issues. This means that only one-third of the organization is actually creating something. Through the application of CMMI, software organizations can reduce this cost of quality to 40 percent or less, ultimately freeing up funds to pursue actual product development.

CMMI is about process improvement. More specifically, it about improving processes involved with managing how organizations develop or acquire solution-based wares. So an important question to first consider is: Do you feel that you should be looking at improving your processes?

CMMI normally begins with an informal evaluation, also known as an appraisal or gap analysis. No ratings are associated with this evaluation; the results are used to set the approval priorities of the business. Other less formal appraisals may be done as well. Finally, there is a more formal “Class A” appraisal that compares the process or processes you wish to change with a CMMI model. This leads to a “maturity score” ranging from one through five, where the highest number signifies the greatest level of “maturity” for the organization. This evaluation does require investments of time, manpower, and financial resources, and it is the only one that can result in a level rating

These types of appraisals are typically conducted for one or more of the following reasons:   

- To identify how well the organization’s processes compare to CMMI best practices and identify areas for improvement.

- To inform external customers and suppliers (where necessary or desirable) about how well the processes of the business compare to CMMI’s best practices.

- To meet contractual requirements that mandate CMMI (for one or more customers).

Smith advises that formal business appraisals using CMMI models must adhere to the requirements defined in the Appraisal Requirements for CMMI (ARC) document. The evaluations focus on identifying opportunities for improvement and comparing CMMI best practices to the processes being used by the organization. Evaluation teams use a CMMI model and ARC-conformant appraisal method to guide their evaluation of the business and report conclusions. The results of the appraisal are then used (e.g., by a process group) to plan process improvements.

Smith cautions, “If your goal is not a level rating, you can do without the formal appraisals, but you will still need to work with people who know what’s in the model. And the model documents can run 700 pages or more,” he points out. At the very least, there should be personnel available who have been through process improvements or organizational change activity. Without this experience in-house, a business may need to invest in an outside consultant and trainer in order to be able to use this tool for process refinements.

The CMMI Decision

So how do you decide if CMMI is the right approach for your organization? As Smith suggests, “That depends on what you’re trying to accomplish.” Of course, the decision is also dependent on the size and resources of the business.

Some feel that CMMI is unnecessary if the business is the master of its own specifications. While looking at CMMI could be an advantageous consideration for those in search of change management tools, those businesses that are not compelled to implement CMMI solutions through RFP or contractual obligation might benefit from a different approach.

There are some obstacles for those who need or want CMMI modeling for managing process improvements. The greatest obstacle can be a lack of knowledge as to what is in the model. The model is substantial, and stakeholders should have at least a core understanding prior to making the decision to embark on the journey. An important step is evangelizing CMMI to senior management, who would have to provide both policy input and necessary funds for the project. Selling executives on change and change management is a non-trivial task. An ROI presentation might be in order, even in cases where CMMI is mandated by contract.

There are some improper or ineffective ways to implement CMMI. Probably the least advised approach is mandating process improvement procedures in a vacuum. An example of such a situation might be where a business gathers a project group, which subsequently develops process documents and says, “Here is how we do project management….” Smith asserts, “If they don’t consult those who actually do the work, it won’t work well.” Simply, the people who are using the processes must be included in the development.

The Internal Sell

Because CMMI requires investments of time, money, and manpower to implement and (even more important) to realize cost of quality advantages, the evangelist for CMMI must work to foster buy-in from the various stakeholders, especially senior management. Gaining executive support is not simply a matter of helping them to achieve a sophisticated understanding of CMMI. The lingua franca of business executives is money. Decision making is done in the context of money, and this is the appropriate context in which to sell the program.

For the small company, the greatest impediment to implementing CMMI is typically the upfront costs. The advantage for smaller organizations, on the other hand, is that there are fewer communications agents, and gaining support from the actual process users is not as complicated. Larger companies might find it easier to absorb the costs, but there are more layers of management and staff stakeholders to get on board.

When it comes to establishing buy-in. an ROI presentation may prove to be the most effective approach. In this context, ROI represents a comparison of the costs and benefits of a process improvement effort across a specific organizational scope and time span. Those presenting the case for the CMMI effort must understand the scope of the analysis, the appropriate time horizon for analysis, all relevant and related costs (e.g., training, materials, other soft costs), and the financially quantifiable benefits. The rules of engagement: present all cost and benefit information in dollars and cents.

Execute

ROI alone may be the selling point for senior management, but while it is a constituent that may be vitally important, it will not necessarily improve the results of a CMMI effort. You must execute. As with any process improvement effort, the implementation team should find ways to leverage best practices in organizational change in order to overcome resistance to the change. Ultimately, ROI should be determined and tracked not only for its own sake, but also because it keeps the focus squarely where CMMI belongs…on the material benefits to the business.

Source Loop asked:


Reston, Virginia – Enterprise businesses are more than ever seeking outside expert help to ensure they are properly managing their telecom and IT networks. The rationale for seeking outside help is as simple as the solution is complicated. Effective leaders know that they and their teams cannot be all things to all people. To strive for such a goal is an exercise in futility and a sure fire way to reap poor results and incur excessive costs. It’s well understood that you must leverage your greatest strengths and minimize your liabilities to the greatest extent possible, in order to vigorously compete in the global marketplace, have expectations for success and still have peace of mind enough to pursue a social life.

Fortunately for most communications network operations executives, they get it right. The solution: keep the competent and the willing on their existing internal telecom / IT network team and partner them with outside Telecom Expense Management (TEM) expertise capable of delivering a high-performing and operationally sound network at competitive market pricing. This pragmatic approach allows companies to retain the proper internal talent and control needed to effectively work with and manage the relationship with their chosen outside TEM provider, while still extracting the priceless niche expertise provided by the TEM provider.

The stakes are high today and the choice of forgoing outside TEM help is often tantamount to driving your car fast through the fog or driving it for years on end without professional servicing. You may get away with it for a while, but it will catch up with you eventually. And when it does, you will wish you had made the proactive TEM choice as opposed to the reactive one of embracing complacency until an emergency dictates otherwise. The former choice is the responsible one and always the cheaper one in the long run.

Because of these realities, the TEM industry has exploded in the past few years. Gartner reports that there are now over 100+ TEM firms offering their assistance to companies all along the enterprise spectrum, from companies with revenues of a few million to Fortune 50 giants. And the future looks bright for TEM providers, as the TEM arena is estimated to grow at an annual compounded rate greater than 30% through 2010, at which point it’s estimated to total $1.5 billion.

What exactly is Telecom Expense Management (TEM)?

Although definitions may vary between firms depending upon their focus and point of view, Telecom Expense Management (TEM) is generally defined as the discipline of effectively managing a communications network to achieve desired levels of service delivery / quality of service (QOS), while keeping costs contained to levels at or – even better – below current market levels.

“For us, it’s fairly straightforward,” says Source Loop’s Managing Director & Founding Principal Chris Lee, “We help companies realize maximum telecom cost savings and increase their Return on Investment (ROI), while ensuring improved operational and network performance. “ That’s certainly the result outsourcers are looking for, but how do you achieve these results, is a question many potential TEM clients will be interested in.

According to Chris, “Source Loop drives telecom costs and network performance to optimal levels through our holistic Telecom Life Cycle Approach. Source Loop is a full service TEM, so our offerings include Auditing, Cost Avoidance / Telecom Cost Elimination (TCE), Rate Benchmarking, Network Optimization, Network Assessments and our TEM practice embraces an Industry Best Practices standard that we apply to all our TEM processes. Specifically, processes involving Invoice Management, Payments, Reporting, Budgeting, Cost Allocations, Order & Inventory, Vendor Management, Technology Alternatives, Contract Negotiations etcetera. Our clients essentially become our partners; we focus on their TEM needs so they can focus on their core business. Our TEM approach is proactive, integrated and committed to providing innovative best-in-class network solutions to our clients. Our TEM clients have averaged over $1M in realized savings.”

What exactly is Managed Sourcing?

If a solid TEM practice is essential to a healthy network, especially on a recurring basis, then Managed Sourcing acts as the spearhead at the vanguard of effective Telecom Expense Management. Managed Sourcing may generally be defined as the systematic procurement of telecom services at competitive rates. According to Source Loop Managing Director & Principal Daren Moore, “A good sourcing practice is arguably the best way to save on Telecom Network costs, since savings are realized up front, before ever leaving the company coffers. Our clients have averaged in excess of 38% realized savings to date.”

From Source Loop’s perspective, Managed Sourcing is critical to controlling and managing your telecom spend, since this is often where the greatest opportunity for network savings is realized. It is perhaps one of the greatest services a competent TEM can provide. Source Loop’s Managed Sourcing practice utilizes its sourcing experience and current market data to evaluate rates for data, LD, voice, local and wireless services; develop and manage the Request For Proposal (RFP) process; and ensure that best of breed terms and conditions are secured from selected vendors. Enterprises would find it difficult, if not impossible, to gauge the current telecommunications market without some form of outside assistance. “When selecting a TEM provider, I would highly recommend that you evaluate the firm’s Sourcing capabilities, as this truly is a powerful driver of network cost savings,” says Daren.

Source Loop’s managed sourcing solution includes: the development of a complete inventory of services; a comprehensive network assessment; full rate and term benchmark comparisons of existing services to best available for comparable spend; RFP development; leads negotiations with vendors; and provides full read-outs and recommendations to clients.

* Source Loop is a privately held (LLC) Telecom Expense Management & IT consulting firm based in Reston VA, with an office in Alpharetta, GA., offering both professional and managed services designed to enable companies to effectively manage their Telecom / IT networks and service providers. Source Loop provides Sourcing, Network and Operational Assessments, Audits and Optimization services. In addition, Source Loop also provides a recurring managed service for all telecom expenses.

Marc Choyt asked:


A Google search for “fair trade jewelry” will bring up numerous companies, many of which sell ethnic jewelry produced in small villages in the developing world. The ‘fair trade’ concept draws the socially responsible shopper, yet the third party labeling organization, Fair Labeling Organization (FLO)- of which Transfair USA is a member – does not currently list jewelry as a category certifiable as fair trade. Apart from that, some large players in the mainstream jewelry industry are beginning to tout concepts such as “fair trade diamonds and gold.” So how does one make sense of these jewelry claims, especially as they relate to the $150 Billion plus mainstream jewelry industry?

Investigating the Self-Proclaimed Fair Trade Jewelers

‘Global Exchange’ comes up number one on Google in the organic, unpaid listings for the “fair trade jewelry” search. The Transfair logo at the bottom of their website would lead a shopper to believe that their jewelry, like the coffee they sell, is third party certified.

In the context of their claim, I emailed them, asking about the source of their precious metal and the environmental safeguards for their manufacturer’s; proper ventilation and disposal or toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing of the jewelry they sell. Finally, sterling silver is supposed to be .925% silver. Imports out of small villages in developing countries are notorious for labeling as sterling silver jewelry which has less silver content than real sterling silver.

Global Exchange wrote back explaining that that what qualifies as fair trade jewelry is that their jewelry is made in a village by small scale artisans and fair working conditions, which they monitor. They could not answer questions about the environmental practices of these small manufacturers and did not monitor sterling content.

This application of the term “fair trade” to jewelry by Global Exchange is backed by a fair trade concept that exists outside of FLO. Global Exchange also referred me to the Fair Trade Federation (FTF), of which they are a member. FTF’s website FAQ pages lists jewelry as a “fair trade” product. I interviewed Carmen Iezzi, the executive director of FTF, which helped me understand that FTF has nothing to do with products: only businesses that sell them – a subtle distinction probably lost on the average person.

Global Exchange, at least, has some history behind their ethical stance; there are many small and large companies and stores using the “fair” and “eco” label around jewelry with more questionable accountability.

Though “fair trade” jewelry is helping some villagers in the developing world, it is a negligible niche market in the mainstream jewelry industry as a whole, which does over hundred and fifty billion dollars annually.

The Difficulty of Fair Trade in the Main Stream Jewelry Industry

Taking the concept of “fair trade” jewelry out of the village and into the mainstream global jewelry market (think gold, diamonds, bling bling) is like banging that old square peg into a round hole. At present, the industry is totally commodity based and price driven, somewhat like lumber or oil. Fair trade is just not part of the paradigm.

Consider the general conditions required for a fair trade item which is fairly straight forward: coffee. The beans are organically grown often in farms that work collectively, fostering entrepreneurship which translates into broader community prosperity. Third party certification assures a level of integrity that the ethical consumer buying at Whole Foods feels good about.

To translate the same concept into a jewelry product, one would have to factor in labor and environmental practices in the sourcing of precious metal and gemstones. Mining and development of the raw material – metal refining and gemstone cutting – are additional steps. Manufacturing a finished product presents another process with its own labor and environmental issues. Plus, there is a wide range of jewelry products, from toy rings to the high end. Attempting to come to an agreed upon criteria of what is ethical with such an elaborate, disparate supply chain is daunting.

The Ethical Sourcing Movement in the Mainstream Jewelry Industry

Meanwhile, a small segment of passionate, dedicated people in the mainstream jewelry industry are attempting to define “ethical sourcing”, with the ultimate aim of some kind of agreed upon criteria leading to true, third party Fair Trade Jewelry certification. This is going to be a long process.

To that end, the first Ethical Jewelry Summit was held in late October of 2007 in Washington DC. Fair trade oriented suppliers, NGOs, Manufacturuers, Miners from all over the world as well third party certification groups like TransfairUSA came together to start this process.

The jewelry industry derives most of its revenues from diamonds, precious and gemstones and precious metal. The ethical sourcing movement has attracted the interest of governments, large corporations and the World Bank, where the Washington meeting took place.

Most raw materials in the jewelry industry are sourced from small scale mining and efforts are under way to bring ethical practices to this sector. FLO’s early efforts focus on ARM (Association For Responsible Mining). Some companies, such as the Rapaport Group and Columbia Gem House, have taken strong initiatives on their own, extrapolating the fair trade concept to apply to gemstone sourcing. However, precious metals and gems in themselves do not make up an entire piece of jewelry.

Though a finished piece of jewelry could be analogous to a fair trade chocolate bar which may have parts that are independently certified, we cannot have ethically sourced jewelry without addressing manufacturing which has its own labor and environmental concerns. Fair trade concerns items that are produced in developing countries. Unlike coffee, mainstream jewelry cannot be easily manufactured in a developing world village because it requires a huge initial investment in equipment and raw materials.

Apart from companies that source their manufactured products from ethical factories, the most notable experiment in this regard is taking place in South Africa in a project called, Vukani-Ubuntu. The project essentially trains people from local townships into the mainstream jewelry trade, providing training, mentoring and equipment. It is heavily supported by government and NGOs. But according to Lores Mares, CEO of the South African Jewelry Council, one of the most difficult challenges is bringing the product to a market.

Jewelry is strictly a commodity that is heavily cost driven. This ethical sourcing concept does not bring added value because the market is undeveloped. My anecdotal research shows that the progressive, green shopper who buys from Patagonia does not feel at ease with a typical jewelry sales person. Winning the progressive ‘eco’ demographic back will not be easy. Yet those in the mainstream jewelry world who are involved, are sincere and heavily driven by humanitarian concerns – with the possible exception of the larger corporations who may be joining to polish their blood diamond, dirty gold image.

Though millions of websites reference “fair trade

jewelry,” the designation is, at this point, too ambiguous for all but a few main stream jewelry manufacturers to use. The consumer interested in ethically sourced jewelry needs to look for detailed information as to sourcing, labor and environmental practices. At present, transparency is often more valuable to the consumer than any ‘fair trade’ designation.

Bill Henthorn asked:


Value of Business



What is the value of your business? Ask three expert evaluators to come up with a value and there is a good chance they will come up with three numbers that are not close to one another.

What is an owner to do when faced with this dilemma?



How did the experts determine the value and why did their final number vary from one another. The reason is simple enough. There are subjective elements to every business evaluation. Each of these experts put a value on the subjective elements that goes along with their personal experience with the business that is being evaluated. This will account for their differences in value. Most business people if they really did get three appraisals would take the highest one and be done with it.



What is needed to make an evaluation



What do the evaluators need in order to come up with a business evaluation? They need access to all of the financial records of the company. They need an inventory list and value based on whatever method is used to get this number. It is usually first in first out prices or last in last out prices. Both are valid means to value an inventory. Projected sales figures and profit can be used to add some value for the future to a present day value. They will also speak to employees, suppliers and competitors to see how they think the company is doing. They will look at what similar businesses have sold for in the last couple of years and at the state of the present economy. These evaluations will always be based on old information and with an ingredient of future prospects. It is this amalgamation of the old and the possible that causes the range of values from different experts.

Every evaluation needs to be heavily weighted to with future numbers or the price will be set to low. It has to take into consideration the prospects for the company and its future business.

With all of these numbers, the professional will use different methods to come up with a price After this is done, the numbers are looked at and a judgment is made as to what one seems to be the most correct. Again this is a subjective decision.



Comparisons of prior sales in the industry



What have other businesses in the same industry sold for and how do they compare with the business that the evaluation is being done on. This information is very helpful and should make the evaluation a little more realistic. These sales comps will set the tone for how other businesses were rated as to their sales and the selling price It should help in setting an asking price that represents the current value of the company.



Where will the company be in three years



Looking at the growth curve of the business and assuming a similar rate of growth in the future, one could come up with where the company will be in three years. If the growth has been stable for a number of years, there is every reason to think it will continue at a similar rate if no drastic changes are made and the customer base continues to grow. With this in mind, the price of the business should take this future outlook into account.

When this is explained to the buyer, then it must be validated with facts and figures that his advisors can peruse. A well-documented presentation will go along way in alleviating doubts and questions about how you came up with your numbers and the asking price.



Intangible factors to be considered



There are some factors that enter into the evaluation of a business that cannot be reduced to shear numbers and accounting sheets. If the business being evaluated has a significant standing in the industry then this is worth something in the price. If they get a large percentage of the available business that is a plus factor for the business. If its reputation is impeccable then that is another factor that is difficult to put into accounting terms. All of these intangibles when added together make the company more valuable than it would seem to be from just the financials. This is why it is important to investigate and questions others about the company. If the business is the result of one strong individual who will not be there when it is sold, then that could present a problem that could be difficult to overcome. Be very careful about this kind of business.

Intangible assets such as these are hard to put a number on unlike the hard assets of the company. Equipment can be valued at a depreciated value, which could then be used to set a foundation for the final price.



Is there going to be an ongoing need for your business



This one question when answered will help with the question of should you buy the business. A plumbing company will always be needed in our civilization. As will an electrical company. A drywall company will probably always be able to find work. Is the business you are thinking of buying a company like one of these or could its business be done away with without any harm. If the business will always be in demand that is a very strong reason to consider its purchase.

Are there high tech innovations that are going to change the business and you have the expertise to make the change. If this were the case, then you would have a leg up on other businesses like yours. These are considerations with profound affects upon whether you should become the owner of not. If you are able to bring the business into the modern age and take advantage of the new technology then you could make the business grow far beyond what it is today. This is the kind of opportunity that every buyer is looking for and few find.

Conclusions It is highly suggested that a seller bring in a certified business broker to help with the evaluation, the presentation materials and the finding of prospective buyers for the business. Since this is their business then this is something they usually can do far better than a seller can do it. The broker can help a great deal in the negotiations and the final stages of the sale. They have a vested interest in seeing the business sale go through. The most important thing that they can help with is developing the asking price. After helping to set the price they can come up with justification that will stand the eagle eye of the buyers financial experts. This creditable price is the basis for all other negotiations.

The expert business broker can smooth things along and keep the ball rolling in the move to make the sale. Their knowledge and experience can stop delays from happening and their damaging effects. When negotiations stall, then the sale is in jeopardy. This should be avoided if at all possible.

Bringing in the pro solves so many problems and can lead to a successful sale that is completed quickly and at a decent price. Their value cannot be overstated in a business sale.
