I agree with you ,some customers from oversea clients always ask pensonal questioins.Many of them will ask you sent him a photo.I will ask them too if they ask me these questions.I think clients can be your friends,sometime you want to talk many things with them but no only products .Then the relation will be closer than before,it 's better to you work.

yes, it will benefit you business if you become a friend of your client

Thanks! It seems goods and I try, one client call me his sister. That's not bad. Thanks again!

Some of them you can make friends with him cuz it is boring to talk about business all the time..one of my customer always talk about his family & so do i..now i am get along well with his wife & children..

If the customer has done business for long time, you may make close relations with them, maybe you can get more orders from them, it is best way to keep relations with them.

It is inevitable to be refered to some private questions by your clients.As a foreign trade staff,you should establish good relations with them.But it doesn't mean that you should satisfy their requirements with no reservation. treat different people with different manners.Since some of your clients did so just for curiosity. The most important thing is that you should stick to your principle. As regard to some light-minded questions, you can also say"no".forum.fobshanghai.com*y-i2R$Y6u4Q$T
