***Logistics Consultant Exports Education Services to China***

Basic Business Services President, Dennis Fisher just returned from
another assignment in Shanghai, exporting education services to meet the
growing demand by Chinese enterprises and multinational corporations
based in China to develop and implement logistics and supply chain
management systems.

deliver an intensive two-week seminar to the managers of 12 leading
pharmaceutical companies in China, including GlaxoSmithKline, China Ltd.
This \$15,000 contact was contingent upon also arranging a one week
"experiential" learning component in the United States. Dennis Fisher
turned to the Education & Training Export Consortium (ETEC) who
responded by arranging site visits, a luncheon (Co-sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Commerce Ontario Export Assistance Center and the
California Inland Empire District Export Council), and a tour of the
United Parcel Service Western Regional distribution Center. ETEC also
arranged a private dinner with Dr. Allen Chao, Chairman of the Board and
CEO Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (an S&P 500 manufacturer of generic
pharmaceuticals); whose company has operations in China. The
experiential learning component turned out to be much more than an
education program (an export unto itself); it established linkages
amongst business in like industries with common interests. Mr. Fisher
told ETEC, "They are still talking in Shanghai about the meetings you
arranged on our behalf, I am grateful for your assistance."

Mr. Fisher, an experienced international trainer and consultant whose
customers have included, Corning, Rockwell Space Systems, Siemens,
Phillips Petroleum, China Oil Cooperative, Novo Nordisk and others, has
since secured additional contracts resulting in the export of education
& training services to China. His company and its E-Training Associates
has a top notch network of over 50 seasoned professional trainers and
the best state-of-the-art e-learning, interactive on-line systems now
available in China. Through its partners in Singapore, Beijing and
Shenzhen, Basic Business Services has created a massive portal through
which to flow management and technical training directly from the USA to
all of Asia at competitive rates.

Basic Business Services focuses on creating education programs that
focus on the physical *application* of learning through the students, or
"learning by doing". As one customer puts it, "I've been to many
workshops here in China, and they are all too theoretical or simplistic.
I recommended your workshop to our Vice President for us to attend
because you are very hands-on and practical. We know what we want; we
just want to know how to do it." S. Xu, Shanghai NT Pharma.

ETEC is a public-private partnership funded by the U.S. Department of
Commerce's Market Development Cooperator Program (MDCP), and the Center
for International Trade Development at Riverside Community College
District, developed to help small- and medium-sized U.S. firms expand
exports that support jobs. ETEC's mission is to assist Southern
California small- and medium-sized businesses, academic institutions and
consultants to gain a better share of the professional training and
educational services business with Asia Pacific (including assisting
with recruiting students).
