Dear Mr. Maruf
Ahmed Chowdhury,
Thank you for the posting.
Presuming that you are based in Mumbai, may I offer my services to you
as a part-time consultant / manager / executive for export marketing of
leather goods, fashion accessories and other products.
As for my background, I have several years'
service experience in administration & marketing up to branch / regional
management level in Kolkata and Mumbai.
Later on,
for about 17 years (till January 03), I was attached to five companies
in Kolkata as a part-timer, basically engaged in export marketing, but
handling practically everything related to exports – even starting from
forms & formalities in case of new exporters and, in some cases, running
almost the entire show (despite working part-time). I have handled
products like Embroidered Fabrics, Bags & Made-ups etc., besides Leather
Goods.
Meanwhile, I have permanently shifted from
Kolkata to Mumbai in February 03, and have already started working here
for four exporters, handling mainly leather goods, besides others. I am
on the lookout for some more opportunities here.
I have the requisite product knowledge
particularly in the field of Leather Goods, besides personal exposure to
overseas markets through several marketing tours of Germany, Italy, UK,
France, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Spain, Czech Republic,
Hong Kong and Bangladesh since 1993, and participation in Int'l Trade
Fairs in Germany & India since 1995, either individually or along with
the concerned exporter-client.
In 1996, I
participated in a Workshop-cum-Seminar on Export Marketing Management in
Rotterdam on invitation from CBI, a Netherlands Government organisation.
I have excellent rapport with the CLE, CLRI,
NLDP, ILPA, JDGFT, ITPO, IGEP etc, and have some very helpful contacts
abroad (including CBI, Rotterdam, in particular, who has helped me in
several ways).
Apart from product / market /
buyer identification, business correspondence, customer contact,
business negotiation & follow-up (including internet marketing), if and
when necessary, I can independently handle (i) the requisite forms &
formalities, (ii) sourcing, procurement and / or production
sub-contracting, (iii) pricing, vis-à-vis cost & incentives, (iv)
shipment / logistic & documentation, (v) Bank Documentation /
Negotiation, (vi) ECGC & insurance matters and (vii) website promotion &
management.
I can speak German (also learning
French), and am well conversant with computer, email & internet
marketing.
I would be glad to work once or twice
a week, half- or full-day, on fixed monthly remuneration basis. Because
of the nature of my involvement with more than one exporters and the way
I work, however, I would be unable to work on commission or
profit-sharing basis.
I look forward to an
opportunity of seeing you personally at your convenience, when I can
tell you more about myself and the way I may be of service to you.
Thanks and regards.
Ramananda Ray
