Hi Torsten,
As you know I used to be in this business full-time, exporting German cars back to GB.
For Germans wanting to buy a cheaper car it meant going to Italy, Denmark or Holland.
Now I am learning something. Since the 1st May, Poland have entered the European Union and of course can offer these price discounts aswell.
These discount prices are directly related to the Buying Price each Car Dealership has to pay the Manufacturer for the cars (i.e. VW, Audi, Ford, Fiat, Toyota etc.).
This price is given as a Percentage discount on the Market List Price to the end User or Customer.
In Germany, the average discount from the Market List Price which a Car Dealership can receive from a Car Manufacturer is about 13%.
This discount varies with the amount of Optional Extras the car has i.e. CD Player, Navigation System etc.
and the more Optional Extras the greater the discount.
A customer buying from the Car Dealership will receive a small discount off the List Price either through negotiation with the Car Salesman or already as a discount offered as "special offer price" on the Car Dealership forecourt.
Again, this discount can be up to 10%, leaving the Car Dealership with 3% profit (in this example).
A discount of around 3-5% is usual from a Car Salesman, but if he knows he has got heavy competition he will give more. Anything up to the average 13%.
I hope that helps our readers to understand how it works.
Meanwhile, if the Manufacturers don?t like it, they can manipulate the Polish market, although the European Commission are promoting free-trading in Europe and are making rules and laws to stop monopoly control from big corporations.
Best Wishes, Bruce.

Karina,
Of course you will be successful. It's a very good sign that people call every day to enquire about your courses. If you really want to deliver a great service to them they will feel it and spread the word. So, make sure you are prepared for your first clients, that is, create a system that provides an excellent organisation. Try to find out what exactly your customers expect and offer appropriate tools that help meet those expectations. I know this might sound very theoretical but it's really the essence of success in any business.

Hi Karina,
Have you tried to order a British flag on the Internet? I'm sure you will find one at Ebay or an online flag store. Go to Google and type in 'flags online' or 'buy flags' or something similar.
Also, why don't you run some type of contest for your students: Find a British flag on the Internet and order it as fast as possible and at the best conditions. The winner gets 5 training units for free. That will be much more fun and you will activite and involve your students.
