You should try your own sourcing company. You live there, probably speak some Spanish, and you can deal with people in person. You’d Work with stateside buyers and help them find manufacturers in Mexico. You locate manufacturers, help negotiate deals, help oversee quality control of produced goods, and make sure it gets shipped. You can charge something like 6% + off a total deal. You’re worth your weight in gold as the boots on the ground for the buyer.

I did this when I lived in Vietnam. Did everything from nfl wine glasses, footwear and apparel, agriculture, to beauty products .. false eyelashes….. very diverse. It’s a young man’s game tho and I do not miss the traveling to multiple manufacturers and the drinking that came along with doing business in Asia.

You seem to have tons of experience in this area, is there anyway I can pick your brain? My family runs a manufacturing business and I've been trying to help them distribute/ or find distributors, but can't figure out how to crack it.
