I am a foreign trade practitioner for 14 years. I have been engaged in foreign trade since 2007. I am looking forward to communicating and growing with foreign trade peers. There are not too many industries involved, such as clothing / shoe materials / hardware kitchen products.
Through wechat communication with foreign trade peers, it is found that under the recent epidemic environment, our business is divided into two levels. Some have a hot life intention / some have a very depressed life intention. Of course, this also has a lot to do with industry products. The most concerned problem in the group is how to develop business? How to be a qualified salesman has done the following simple sorting. My personal writing is limited and I hope to forgive my poor writing.
1、 How to become a qualified foreign trade business
1). Foreign language ability and communication ability with customers
2). Professional product awareness
3). Be familiar with the business process of foreign trade import and export
4). Management of supply chain
5). Foreign Exchange Payment collection / financial knowledge
2、 How to develop business (channels)
1). Exhibition / local promotion: large one-time investment and the most direct effect
2). Platform-2b (represented by Ali International) 2C (represented by Amazon), etc.: the price war is fierce, information transparency leads to price transparency, marketing burns money without a bottom hole, unlimited potential, and what people ask most this year is what Alibaba can do or not ? How do you do it?
3). Google and other search channels: make use of all available network resources, low cost and get customers from the bottom of the sea
4). Independent station building: it will last for long time and seek for result
5). Social media outreach: it will last for long time and seek for result
, it is now focuses on content marketing base on team work.
6). The data information platform is represented by customs data: a very important channel for developing customers
7). Foreign yellow pages / industry directories / community forums, etc.: an important part of Google reseach information
8). Freight forwarder / customer / peer recommendation: just as the so-called reputation is abroad, customers will come easily
跨境电商小萌新,请问做站外推广有什么好的方法?
想要成为一名合格的外贸也业务员,外贸相关知识、寻找和开发客户的能力、对自身企业产品的深入了解以及资料数据的统计分析能力,这些都缺一不可,除了这些我们还需要注意:
1、首先我们要对客户负责,做客户的保姆,管家。你不能仅仅只是给客户提供客户所需的消息,还要为客户利益考虑,给主动给客户提供额外的全部考虑到的信息和政策。
比如说客户问我们要报价单,但是没说要啥具体要求的产品,我们要做的是:给客户推荐热门产品,或者新品,告诉客户这个市场比较受欢迎,客户现在做可以抓住机遇。或者给个目录,让客户选择,然后针对他喜欢的,进行报价,如果你直接就只是发一份报价单过去,客户多半是不会理你的。
2、客户跟我们谈判,要的是解决方案,而不是解释。有很多人在遇到客户提出的各种问题的时候,第一时间就是找借口,交期延迟,你只会说我们机器坏了,工人少了,原材料涨价买不到,这样也解决不了任何问题,倒不如直接主动跟客户道歉,然后告诉他们我们会优先安排生产,尽快交货,并且会保证产品质量。
3、良好的外语交流能力,有对话交流和信件交流两种,这就要求外贸业务员除了口语能力之外,英文的书写能力也要好,同时还需要了解国际贸易中的一些专业英语。这个要想学好并不难,多练就一定会越来越好的。
4、掌握一定的地理知识,有助于了解到客户当地的时间、气候和地理情况,这样你跟客户沟通起来就更方便一些,在之后的货物发运中也可以及时规避掉一些风险。
