DIVERSIFICATION - that is the key to success and long term
viability of your international business.

A little known marketplace that you may be able to sell
your goods to is the United Nations.

The most effective way to approach the United Nations is to understand that despite the fact that UN headquarters is in New York, the UN has the same status as a sovereign country. So, selling to the UN is similar to selling to the Canadian government or any other public sector export market.

The most effective way to approach the United Nations is to understand that despite the fact that UN headquarters is in New York, the UN has the same status as a sovereign country. So, selling to the UN is similar to selling to the Canadian government or any other public sector export market. Being a US company confers some strategic advantage as US firms can visit the UN headquarters easily, but beyond that, competition for UN contracts is global and intense. Canada and the Scandinavian countries are key competitors, operating with strong governmental advocacy and financial support for their industry. Inside the UN, there is an international culture, so ithelps to be a seasoned exporter.

To get started, get on the UN Procurement Service website and bookmark it:

Your may Download and print out their General Business Guide, which serves as a roadmap to the UN agencies, what they buy and how they do business:

The Procurement Service requires that suppliers be solid, solvent, stable. The UN can’t afford to have a vendor go bankrupt in the middle of a Peacekeeping Mission, so the Procurement Division requires vendor registration.

Money-$aving tip: If you take an empty toner
cartridge to Office Depot, Office Max or Staples,
they will give you a credit of approximately $3
towards the purchase of anything in their store.
Note: most have a limit of one trade per visit.
Also, call to verify that the offer is still valid
at your local office supply stores - I just called
our local stores and it was still in effect. So,
save your cartridges. If you have to buy another
cartridge, take in the old one for a nice credit.

Another Money-$aving tip: When your toner cartridge
starts running low, leaving streaks in the
middle of your pages, simply remove the cartridge,
shake vigorously from side to side, and re-insert
it. You will get another couple of hundred pages,
minimum. This strategy is especially important
when you don't have a spare cartridge on hand,
and you are printing out something that need
completed immediately.
