Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

I`m a journalist writing an article for the women`s business magazine PINK. My article is about expanding business to overseas clients, or getting help with a business (outsourcing) from overseas. If you are a woman with experience in this area, I`d love to hear from you! Reply to this email and I`ll be in touch. Thanks in advance.

There is an entire administrative outsourcing industry, predominately women-owned, called Virtual Assistance. Many Virtual Assistants support international clients. If you are interested in this angle at all, my organization, the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce has a wealth of information. We also completed a survey (101 questions) this year with nearly 400 respondents and 71 pages of data covering categories such as general and business demographics, operations, marketing, clients, pricing and services.

Of course, I myself am pretty opinionated about supporting our own country`s economy, wherever we might happen to live, rather than outsourcing to countries other than our own.
