The most important aspect of foreign trade business is resources, and the support of foreign trade customers is closely related to a company's long-term development. Therefore, in order for enterprises to continuously break through the bottleneck of development and achieve broader development space in the future development process, it is crucial to do a good job in maintaining and developing foreign trade customers. In the preliminary work process, the main task is to proactively contact the customer, then convey our hope for further cooperation to the customer, and further determine whether the customer can become a potential foreign trade customer resource based on the customer's response. Since we are looking for customers, what we need to do is their contact information. However, at the beginning, the customers we contacted were usually some unfamiliar customers. If we made a hasty phone call to communicate, it would not only appear abrupt, but also easily be rejected by others. Therefore, using the other party's email address as a bridge for communication between both parties is a good method.

Therefore, it is particularly important to adopt various proactive methods to seek effective email addresses for foreign trade clients in order to expand our foreign trade work. Below, we will share several methods for foreign trade to find customer email addresses.

The first method of finding customers for foreign trade is also a very common method, which is to use Google Chrome to search with keywords. In fact, although Google Browser is not widely used in China, it has a large audience abroad. Therefore, using Google Browser to search is a very correct thing. Moreover, when using Google Chrome for searching, there are many tricks involved. The commonly used method is to add various forms of suffixes to search keywords. According to actual needs, we can search for various types of foreign customer email addresses from them, and then select the one we believe has higher credibility to contact.

The second commonly used method for finding customer email addresses in foreign trade is to use yellow pages to find the email address. This method is usually very accurate in finding email addresses, but this search method also has a clear drawback, which is that it is relatively cumbersome. In the actual operation process, there are no shortcuts, only one by one can be searched and identified. Perhaps it is precisely because of this relatively primitive human discrimination labor that, although this method wastes time in practice, finding an accurate one also saves us many troubles in verifying the authenticity and validity of email addresses, greatly improving the success rate of sending emails to foreign customers and playing a positive role in expanding customer resources for foreign trade work.

The third way to find customers for foreign trade is to fully leverage the role of LinkedIn clients. On the LinkedIn client, we can try adding some friends. Once these friends are easy for your friends to apply for, we can easily find our friends' email addresses through some of the functions provided on LinkedIn. This method may seem good, but usually it is based on informing some new friends. If you add friends aimlessly at the beginning, or if the customer doesn't know you at all, they sometimes won't agree to your friend addition application. However, once we successfully add each other as friends, the email addresses we obtain from each other must be positive and effective. Although the timeliness of searching for an email using this method is very limited, the final result is still good and worth a try.

The fourth way to find customers for foreign trade is to actively pay attention to some exhibition information. At an exhibition, a large number of enterprises are usually gathered, and the organizer not only publishes some enterprise information in advance on the relevant official website, but also sometimes publishes the company's contact information. After recording these valid information, we can use it to assist in our email address search work. We can also go directly to the exhibition site and have direct conversations with the agents of these companies, add LinkedIn friends, or politely express our request for the other party's email address. If we do not plan to visit the exhibition site in person, but instead choose to search for the email addresses of foreign trade customers through the website, we need to verify the validity and authenticity of these email address information.

The fifth way to find customers for foreign trade is through customs data. The necessary information such as email address is definitely the content that needs to be involved in customs data. Therefore, the accuracy of obtaining the email address of foreign trade customers from customs data is also very high. Although we have spent a lot, it is also quite valuable. However, some of the customs data sold are incomplete and basically invalid. But overall, this method of searching foreign trade customer email has more advantages than disadvantages and is still worth a try.

Of course, in addition to the above methods for finding customer email addresses in foreign trade, in this era of highly developed information and technology, there are still many conveniences, and there are also very effective email automatic retrieval tools, as long as we have the ability to use them. In short, we can try any positive method that can be used to mine foreign trade customer email information.
