Huacheng Foreign Trade Software Knowledge: What knowledge and skills do you need to master as a foreign trader?

1. Firstly, one must master the language

As a foreign trade person, the most important foreign trade language to master on the basis of Chinese is English. If you start doing foreign trade and need to learn English on your own, you will be one step slower than others on the foundation. Of course, if you can master some small languages on the basis of English, you don't need to be proficient, and being able to communicate easily is also a good skill.

2. Fully grasp product knowledge

Many people have a certain misconception about understanding products. They always think that in foreign trade, they only need to understand the price of the product, understand the advantages and disadvantages of the product, but if customers talk to you about the market situation of this type of product, talk to you about the production cost structure of this type of product, talk to you about the operating standards and precautions of this type of product, and talk to you about the sales market, target audience, and sales prospects of this type of product, You can only listen awkwardly, as if the customer is selling something to you, then it's strange that you can keep the customer.

3. Master the basic knowledge of foreign trade

To do foreign trade, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of basic foreign trade knowledge. When quoting, do you always need to know what FOB and CIF mean? What kind of shipping method do you need to know? Is it always important to understand the payment method? The basic knowledge of foreign trade, international trade processes, and regulations must be proficient, otherwise it is easy to suffer losses when encountering bad customers and create conflicts when encountering good customers.

4. Master a certain level of internet knowledge

In today's society, communication is becoming more and more convenient, which is the efficiency and benefits brought by the internet. While enjoying its convenience, we also need to have a deep understanding of them in order to make our foreign trade work smoother. Which platform products have high inquiry quality, which communication software is more likely to gain customer trust, which cross-border payment methods are safer and more convenient, what types of marketing methods are currently popular in the industry, and which marketing effects are good, all of which need to be understood.

5. Master certain software skills

Many software are commonly used in our foreign trade work. Photoshop is a convenient software that you need to use when publishing products, creating logos, making quotations, and creating renderings. You must master it. Basic software such as Excel also needs to be mastered.

6. Mastering communication skills

Communicating with customers is a difficult technical task, and any product will have certain after-sales problems. How to communicate with customers to maximize efficiency is a long-term learning. Many foreign trade salespeople have gradually accumulated experience in their work, but we can also find some experience from predecessors to learn and learn. Communicating with customers is essentially the same way of dealing with people. You can find a lot of tutorials online that are considerate of customers and learn them slowly.

7. Be able to conduct market research

The industry market is undergoing rapid changes, and market research needs to be done frequently. Only by having a detailed understanding of the market and understanding the position of your product in the market can you better promote your product. The analysis of target audience, user feedback, market price fluctuations, competitors' prices, customers and products all need to be investigated.

8. Legal knowledge of relevant customer countries

Once the target audience is determined, it is necessary to understand the relevant industry laws and regulations in the region where the target audience is located, and even the usage specifications and standards of some products, which will affect your sales situation and product design and positioning.

9. The most important learning ability

Doing foreign trade is not something that everyone is born with. Most people learn slowly. Even if you are well prepared before entering the foreign trade industry, there are still many areas to learn in order to gradually improve yourself. This requires you to have sufficient learning ability.
