Lack of customers in foreign trade? In fact, the thinking is too narrow

Recently, it is the peak season for foreign trade. Many foreign trade companies are busy with their orders. But there are also few customers who worry about it. What is better in our business is that we serve more customers and have more knowledge. What I often hear is: our business is not good, our business is special, and our business has few customers. This is a typical way of developing customers without opening their minds.

Lack of customers in foreign trade? In fact, the thinking is too narrow
Lack of customers in foreign trade? In fact, the thinking is too narrow

For example, there is a copper carving customer who uses Ding Yi to develop foreign carpet dealers and gardening companies. Because customers who make long red carpets have to put handicraft decorations on both sides of the carpets, the isolated carpets are not of good quality. Garden design companies not only plant trees, but also put statues. This is like the current popularity of the small B market. Furniture dealers have begun to develop individual designers in foreign trade. Although their products are scattered, the volume is still quite large at the end of the year.

To do foreign trade, to do small, can only do foreign peer market, more do smaller. However, if we go further, we can achieve the downstream market. If you want to expand your development ideas, first of all, you need to know what is the circulation after my products are exported to foreign countries? As long as it is run by the company, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation. Second, it should be extended to other industries. For example, daily necessities can be used as gifts, clothing customization can be done by clubs, lighting can be done by designers and lighting installations, raw materials can be directly connected with factories, semi-finished products can be used for downstream matching, and mechanical products can be directly found in factories.

The machinery industry may be the industry with the narrowest customers, but tengzhou zhongying machinery co., ltd. is mainly engaged in Swiss numerical control machine tools. as a longtime customer, it has not been short of orders. it can be seen from the inquiry they shared that a company that does not even give up the development of agents as a “second-hand machinery dealer” cannot possibly lack customers. Not to mention so many terminal manufacturing industries.

  • Foreign trade newcomer, you must improve yourself in this way

    Some newcomers who have just entered the foreign trade industry also want to express themselves at the beginning of their work, so they all try their best to develop customers and want to win several orders as soon as possible to prove their strength. However, developing foreign customers through foreign trade business is not as simple as domestic sales. Developing foreign customers and looking for customers at home are two completely different directions. Therefore, some foreign trade newcomers who are eager for success often meet with setbacks at the beginning. They will find that they may have made a lot of efforts but have not found a suitable customer. Without customer resources, it is impossible to order a bill.

  • Foreign Trade Sharing-How Foreign Traders Work Efficiently

    Foreign Trade Sharing-How Foreign Traders Work Efficiently Let’s talk about the time allocation in general, starting with a foreign trade salesman entering the office in the morning (making tea and tidying up the table) First, open the web page to check the exchange rate situation, generally referring to BOC or the central bank. As a foreign trade salesman, it is necessary to know the trend of exchange rate in time. In addition, I usually have to look at the price trend of domestic raw materials. Generally, it can be completed in ten minutes at most. Second, open the mail client and then open the customer tracking table to see which customers have not contacted for some time. (I usually send them some greeting emails one by one according to the time of 2-3 weeks). The contents of the emails are different according to different objects. The advantages of doing this are: 1) keep in touch with the customer who has not made a deal so that he will always remember you. This is especially important when the customer is ready…

  • 99% of foreign trade newcomers are following the “Order Death Book”

    Foreign trade seems simple, but in fact it is extremely complicated. It is not as easy as some new people think. In other words, you can string up the whole foreign trade process with a few simple paragraphs or a hand drawing to form the overall framework of the foreign trade business, but you can hardly finish or learn all the details of all links in very little time, and each link in foreign trade is very important, closely linked and linked. Just like some people ask me: how does lingying ( linkedin ) play? How does Google develop its customers? Believe me, it’s really not that I don’t want to spend a few minutes telling you, but that I don’t have so much free time to explain to you one by one, because your problems will go on endlessly, one by one. For example, I told you LinkedIn is one of the SNS battlefields. You need to improve information, add contacts, publish daily updates, publish articles, publish company pages, publish product pages and other ways to actively or passively…

  • How should transformed foreign trade factories attract cross-border e-commerce sellers?

    In recent years, with the overall decline and fragmentation of B2B orders in foreign trade, traditional foreign trade factories, which originally relied on the small profits but quick turnover model, have not only to withstand the impact of the Sino-US trade war, but also to carry the inventory risk and the pressure of the accounting period for customers, making their survival difficult.Under the crisis, some people are insisting that some people choose to lay off workers and relocate factories, and others choose more diversified business development. From the perspective of the cross-border e-commerce industry, there are also not a few traditional foreign trade factories that choose to transform and set foot in the cross-border e-commerce industry.Cross-border e-commerce customers become “hot cakes” in the eyes of traditional factories. To sum up, there are no more than two ways for traditional foreign trade factories to transform into cross-border e-commerce: one is to “go to sea” to be sellers, including recruiting agents, recruiting teams, self-built teams and other direct contacts with C-end consumers, which all belong to this category; The other is still…

  • Do you still stay up late or stay up for years to accumulate achievements and abilities in foreign trade?

    Frankly speaking, for all foreign traders, including myself, the most important thing is ability and performance. We stay up late every day to work overtime and even have a high fever. We have to go to the company to check the mail and reply to the customers first. Without looking at the computer for a day, we feel very insecure, as if we have lost our soul. Accompany your boyfriend/girlfriend to go shopping, chat, and pick up your cell phone from time to time to see if there are any new inquiries or replies from customers in your mailbox, lest you miss anything. To do foreign trade, one has to sit and run a company every day instead of running around. Do foreign trade, hiding in the house every day, don’t have to wind, sun, rain. Under such a seemingly comfortable job, it is actually the bitterness that foreign trade people cannot say. During the peak sales season, the factory is busy. We have to go to help and pack overnight. If the goods are out of order and the…

  • Foreign trade worries: because I offered to pay for the sample freight, the customer attacked me personally

    Foreign trade salesmen will contact with all kinds of customers every day. There are many different things in the world. Customers from all over the world are different. Some customers are of high quality, while others make people speechless.What I want to share today is very sad, because I proposed that the freight of the sample should be paid by the customer, which led the customer to attack me personally. Such a thing is really impolite. Although doing foreign trade for many years, there are very few customers who openly carry out personal attacks and at most secretly scold them in their hearts. . .In particular, a few hundred dollars of sample freight can reflect such a strong reaction, which is quite speechless. Listen to me slowly. Samples will be requested immediately after the first reply. It can be said that this customer has the typical characteristic of an insincere customer: in the first letter of reply, he directly asked for samples. The day after I sent the letter, I received a reply from customer j: We are very interested….

Of course, even if there is no such stipulation, if your performance is too low, you will not get much commission). Many people have worked for many years, but due to their ability problems, their performance has not improved much, and their…
