All-Day Workshop

Competing successfully in the Global Marketplace means more than just producing a quality, well-priced product. You need an edge in the often "tricky" arena of International Finance to properly quote prices, use the best payment structure, and make letters of credit and other techniques work for you so you collect your money timely, efficiently, and -- most of all -- competitively.

The American Export Training Institute (AETI), in association with Bank One, Louisiana, NA, is offering for the fourth time in New Orleans an executive workshop to equip you with the "must knows" of export financing.

The seminar is presented in a time-tested format by Richard "Chip" Thomas, Vice President of AETI, an international trade expert with over 20 years experience at leading financial institutions. Well-versed in all international financial products and services, Chip has been teaching this course to satisfied customers for 15 years.

If you want to learn the "tools" of international trade financing from an expert in the field, this course should be your choice! Registration is on a first-come basis, limited to 30 participants to provide an effective, hands-on interactive learning environment.

Who should attend?

CFOs, international sales and marketing professionals, accounting managers, controllers, finance officers, credit mangers, and financial institutions will find this course of special benefit.
