For many people who are new to foreign trade, it is very important to find your first foreign trade customer. But it's hard to get started. Most newbies start out worrying about what they should tell their customers, and what if they're wrong? This causes them to lose a big potential customer; or get frustrated with how customers haven't responded to their messages after trying to communicate with them for weeks. Second, know where your customers are going? Here are some tips for finding customers:

1. Start with your own social media network

Bring your ideal foreign trade customer profile to find people who are likely to match your description from social profiles. The process doesn't depend on how much you know, let alone whether you talked to him last year, but simply judges whether he can meet the client's standards. These are the connections to potential customers with whom you are most likely already engaged, which means there is a possibility of interest, attention, and early sales.

2. Combining import and export data to find customers

Using import and export data, we can quickly find matching overseas buyers and their contact information. Sometimes we use this contact information to find that it is not the person in charge of the procurement, because the person in charge does not want to be informed of the contact information to avoid being harassed.

3. Operator big data

Is there a way to combine the advantages of all of the above methods of expanding customers without spending too much money?

Naturally, it is the operator's big data customer service platform. There is no need to spend a lot of time and energy of the salesman, the salesman can use the time saved on the customer, conduct in-depth discussions on the order, and then formulate a systematic marketing strategy to achieve the purpose of improving sales performance and work ability.

4. Ask questions during customer development

When you first offer a product or service to a potential customer, do some customer development. This is a program to find customers who want to solve this problem themselves. You can find relevant contact information and get in touch with your company's foreign trade website or social media group. If the participants are rare, they can be promoted by giving them a certain amount of funds or product incentives.
