International Versus Domestic Staffing Breakdown
Shamail Siddiqi - CEO
International
Domestic
Many hospitals did not seem comfortable dealing with one company
for international and domestic staffing
Global Source does not have a competitive edge as a company
People responsible for international staffing had nothing to gain
by negotiating better billing rates for domestic staff.

companies
- Aligned themselves with a CGFNS test-preparation
company in Bangalore to insource Indian nurses
Very competitive market
Low staffing margins 10-15%
Pros
Cons
Hospitals hesitant to bring on new staffing companies.
Global Source is secondary vendor in marketplace for domestic
staffing, and can easily be replaced.
Not enough expenses or resources to recruit large international
staffing.
Established a strategic alliance with a CGFNS test-preparation
company in Bangalore
Global Source
- Limited sales personnel and budget
- Healthcare staffing company
- Domestic and international services
- First international
- Forced into both due to lack of funding
Questions: I just need you guys to help me answer the following question please.
What are the primary intangible elements of the Global Source Healthcare service the salespeople should emphasize?
With the domestic market experiencing problems, should Global Source move to an exclusive focus on international service?
Why or why not?

FREEPORT, Pa. The rising dollar is putting US. Manufacturers
through the equivalent of a new year's fitness regime, causing pain
for now but also promising long-term gains in efficiency.
After more than a decade of weakness, the dollar began surging in
mid-2014 against the euro and many other currencies. That is making
U.S.-made products pricier in other countries and imports cheaper
in the U.S.-a combination that is likely to expand, the already
gaping U.S. trade deficit. "When the dollar was weakening, it was a
lot easier [for manufacturers] be a little sloppy," said Hal
Sirkin, a Chicago-based senior partner at Boston Consulting Group.
A rising dollar, which effectively raises prices, forces
manufacturers to automate more production processes and redesign
products to be lower cost and higher value, Mr. Sirkin said. US.
manufacturers also will look for ways to buy lower-cost parts and
materials in Asia or Europe.
Past periods of currency strength in Switzerland, Germany and Japan
required manufacturers there to streamline processes and find
niches that allowed them to charge premium prices.
Here in Freeport, on the fringes of the Pittsburgh metro area,
Oberg Industries is striving hang onto its small share of the
global economy. The family owned company, with 750 employees and
annual sales of about $130 million, makes metal parts for a host of
products, including oil production equipment and door locks.
Oberg is moving out of some markets where competition is based
mainly on price. For instance, the company recently sold a plant in
Mexico where it made doorknobs, competing with Asian manufacturers.
Oberg is putting more focus on highly regulated markets, such as
parts for medical devices and aircraft. Because quality standards
are higher, there is less import competition, said Rich Bartek,
Oberg’s chief operating officer.
Oberg recently bought another robot to help sort out parts as they
emerge from a stamping machine. It also has invested in new
computer controlled cutting machines that are easier to program and
run. One operator can handle four of these machines. "In the old
days, it was one operator, one machine," Mr. Bartek said.
Manufacturers have long been under pressure from intensifying
global competition, but the dollar's sudden ascent adds more
urgency. Since mid-2014, the dollar is up nearly 19% against the
euro and 17% against the yen. “
The challenge I gave to our team is use as an opportunity to get
more costs out of the company," said Ron DeFeo, executive of Terex
Corp., a Westport, Conn.-based maker of heavy equipment, including
aerial work platforms used to hoist construction and maintenance
workers. For instance, Terex is making more steel parts for some of
its machines in China, where steel and labor are cheaper. The
company is leaning on delivery firms to pass on some of the savings
they are getting from lower fuel costs. Terex may also be able to
shift some production of equipment to Europe, where the weaker euro
has reduced costs in dollar terms.
The rising dollar already has forced U.S. poultry companies to
accept lower prices for dark chicken meat, popular in over- seas
markets, said Mike Cockrell, chief financial officer of Sanderson
Farms Inc., the third-largest U.S. poultry processor. Bulk leg
quarters of chicken, a top export that sold for 48 cents pound in
mid December, now are selling for 88 cents, Mr. Cockrell said.
Chicken processors still can turn a profit on those prices, along
as sales of white meat the US, remain brisk. But if prices sink to
very low levels, chicken processors may resort selling frozen bags
of dark in US grocery stores at cut-rate prices, as they have done
before. Prime Equipment Group Lnc. Columbus, Ohio, maker of poultry
processing equipment, is using more Brazilian parts and materials
for the products sells in that country, to help offset the effects
of a weak real, The company also is delaying repatriation of
profits from Brazil in the hope the real will regain value. "As
long as the real doesn't collapse-a possibility we consider very
remote--we can afford to wait," said Mike Gasbarro, chief
executive. Global giants like Caterpillar Inc. or Ford Motor Co.
long have had plants around the world, reducing their exposure to
any one currency. Some smaller manufacturers are trying to emulate
that global approach. Firstronic LLC, a Grand Rapids, Mich., maker
of printed circuit boards used in cars and other products, serves
its customers in North America mainly in production from its plants
Michigan and Mexico, said John Sammut, the CEO. It has set up joint
ventures in the Czech Republic, India and China it can produce
circuit boards there as well, depending on customers' needs and
currency factors.
For now, Firstronic is exporting from Michigan to Europe circuit
boards used to control car seats. If the dollar stays strong. said
Mr. Sammut, that production could be moved to the Czech Republic.
By creating a global network of factories, “we have buffered
ourselves from this issue” he said.
Ground Force Worldwide, Post Idaho, maker of used in mining,
committed to manufacturing in the US even though about 75% of its
sales are in other countries, said Ron Nilson, owner and CEO But he
said the company can assemble portions of its trucks, such as fuel
tanks, overseas to reduce costs.
FirmGreen Inc., based in Newport Beach, a maker of equipment used
to purify biogas, having to "scramble for solu tions," said CE0
Steven Wilburn. The company, which sells most of equipment
overseas, is being hit both by a strong dollar and by the drop in
oil prices, which deters investment im alternative energy sources.
Mr. Wilburn said he has had to cut his staff to 10 people- from 17
FirmGreen relies on other US-based companies to manufacture its
equipment. Mr.Willburn said he doesn't want to shift production
China fears his technological secrets to rivals. "Pius," he said,
"Tm patriot. Woodward Inc., a maker of parts for aircraft and
various types of engines, based in Fort Collins, Colo, is trying to
help some overseas customers cope with the currency swings. On some
contracts, it includes clauses that adjust the price of a large
order depending on currency movements, so that the two sides share
the risk.
Bob Weber, chief financial officer of Woodward, said the company
could import more parts from countries with weaker currencies. But
that is difficult in highly regulated markets such as those for
aircraft. "it's extremely hard to switch suppliers midstream.” Mr.
Weber said.
