Hello everyone,I am glad to join the FOB forum,I hope to enjoy ourselves together,no matter the happyness and the distress things.I know,it is difficult to get an order,Everyday,I do the same work,sent and receive the email,fax,again and again,now I am so tired,I have get many buyer's informance ,and have make friends with some of the foreigner,but they still don't give the order to me,I will be crazy,for I face the black face of my manager everyday.
[0?)_x!S next week I have a client to visit our factory,hope it will be my first order,catch opportunity.come on !:lol

Hard work need work hard

Actually, i can say, we all knew some way of find and contact some potential customers. But we do not feel confident about he method or ourselves, that results in our lazy. There is a very simple way, but some of us just can not persist on, for a week, a month or for long time.(@ \x b/Dq!g
hh:T&xKg
Ask ourself, is it due to our poor English, poor opertunity, or just lazy and give up that lead to our no orders?-HmZ$}YR

`G$Cm*W Q It is all just hard to persist on.

again

I have tried find customer on website and seach engine for about a month.M9M%_3Y Z9Zt3o
It was with great passion and effort at the early time. But later, no effective to me and i nearly  give up, nowadays, i open the website some days and just blawse. Have no passion any more.
r&Zd8\H'}.Iu*P There is very big factor that I do not like my work here as well as the factory, there is no leaders for me, all the senior do not put attention to my work, they even can not do well and finish the orders from the original customers.
h vv3`Y
yR*y4VVzX I am very tired of working here, and no passion left at all.

good

very  good !I think it more important to do than to say!

I have been working for one month, i receive some inquiries, but few orders! Some of the customers seems to disappear, though they seems like good potential customers! While some of the others, would make their order without any inquiry, sometimes maybe delayed the time for delivery for we have no information about their alread made payment!

Have three customer, and have dealed three orders in one year( very small QTY. total amount about 80,000USD)
F-RI3J3|&n FN.`4I5h}
Hope next year can have more customer and more order.

I am working in a trade company for about 5 months, and I didn't achieve one order until now, I am worried, though my boss does not give me pressure, and  I am the first to open the  foreign business, so I really confused ....

how to find a customer

I THINK TRY TO FIND A NEW CUSTOMER IS DIFFICULT , DON`T BE HURRY  .

I am really a green hand,and I always read the stories about the succeed others wrote.I still don't know how to get an order.Maybe it is the problem about the products,the AlNiCo magnets are really difficult to find a client.But I am still doing my best to look for.  :lol

how to search buyer?

I am a green hand oversea sales. When I entered a foreign trade firm, I am the only staff of our department--The foreign trade deparment. And the direct boss is our manage, alway not in her office. She just told me to seek buyers through internet, and she also told me to search in the Made-in-china website. A few days has gone, I required nothing from the intermet. I feel frustrated and confused. I hope some one can give me useful advice.

The open letter, it maybe the letter you send to the customer to ask the customer whether he/she is interested in your product. [/quote]!w[x+^2d!{
then ,by the way, the letter ,which is used to descripe our products ,can be named as open letter?

Our products have got the approval of CE, CCC, ROSH ,UL ,GS and other certificates , but still difficult for me the open the overseas market.i don't know why

The most important thing is to know you product well. Then you can give the appropriate price, and also you can bargain with your customer, give them reasons why you quote them such a price.

I am a green hand in foreign trade. Now i think i am lack of the skill that how to communicate with our customers.

I do believe It's a very good topic ,and I like it very much .

Please contact me freely

my experience

I have worked for one year ,and have changed  jobs severial times .My last job was working for a korea ofice in Shaoxing .It was really samoll company but the boss was very kind and taught everything we need to do ,also we practised English by the way ,because we communicated in English everyday .I think this kind of compay is really good for thos who have just graduated and whose major is not internatinal trading or English ,anyhow ,while working ,we always have passion and wanted to better ,so we can grow up quickly .Now ,i am in a Chinese trading company ,I am a green hand ,but I have more confidenxe now.:)
