@ericcrackschina: The Alibaba Reality: The True Cost of "Factory Direct" Alibaba is undeniably the best discovery tool for beginners. But as you scale, you will outgrow the platform and you realize you are paying a massive "convenience tax" to trading companies. They provide valuable project management, but they hide the true factory and eat your margins. If you want to win the global margin war, you can't rely on hidden middlemen or digital directories; you need a physical buyer office on the ground. Watch to learn how to own the bridge to China's supply chain. #EricOnChina #EricSourcing #GlobalTrade #SourcingExpert #SourcingAgent #ChinaSourcing #SourcingChina #SourcingTips #BuyerInsights #SupplyChain #GlobalBusiness #Manufacturing #Alibaba#B2B
