The text of the FAQ podcast follows:
Absolutely none. We are an Australian company and in fact Goalseeker was designed in Australia and is operated by Australians. The number of financial links with banks is nil.
Zero.This is one of the main strengths of Goalseeker. Foreign exchange is employed as a catalyst; it’s sold the moment it’s earned. Therefore no forecasting and no speculation. What exporters get is their cash profit locked into Australian Dollars.
Exporters are frequently also importers so we have built into Goalseeker a section for importing that’s to minimise costs and there is a more specialised model for importers but the current import section should be more than adequate.
I think both boards and the management team require a real time simulation – a trial run. So I recommend is you take out initial four month subscription and test it under live operations and simulate some “what if?” situations. You would then be in a good position to present Goalseeker to the management team and board if you wanted to proceed.
Yes, you can do it yourself. All you need are some Excel or similar programming expertise.
What we give you is a professional day by day updated list of how and where you can maximise your profitability and for a lot of companies that saves them time and effort and also provides an independent of advice.
Not much.
As part of your initial subscription we provide a complementary in-house workshop or workshops for up to three hours. In these sessions you take us through input unique to your business - especially your goal, which becomes Goalseeker’s target. The output will then also be unique to your company - and you don’t have to supply any business-sensitive figures. Our aim is to make everyone comfortable with Goalseeker.
We prefer it that way. Goalseeker is a business tool and confidentiality is central to that.
