The most important thing in foreign trade is to communicate with customers, so in addition to the interviews we are familiar with, the most convenient way to communicate with foreign customers is email. Then, the first problem that every novice in foreign trade will encounter is how to find the customer's foreign trade mailbox.

Take myself as an example, I came to this position with a passion. It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, and the same is true of foreign trade. When I first came into this job, I first learned about the company's operation mode and the company's partners, and at the same time, I also mastered some basic information about customers.

Finding customers, making appointments, and communicating with customers all require certain methods, so for myself as a novice, it was very difficult to get started. Let’s not talk about the following series of work, just finding the customer’s foreign trade mailbox is a big problem.

When I first learned about the foreign trade industry, I bought a lot of related books, online materials, and hands-on tutorials. In order to find customers' foreign trade mailboxes and carry out follow-up cooperation, I also collected various materials, including asking seniors who worked earlier than me for advice, and then I also practiced many times, tried many times, and made some summaries at the same time. .

Finding customers' foreign trade mailboxes is really a technical task, so today I will introduce some of the methods I have summarized to newbies who love foreign trade work as much as I do and have really come to this profession.

However, these methods can help improve the efficiency and accuracy of searching for customers' foreign trade mailboxes. To achieve a 100% accuracy rate requires long-term training and practical operation.

(1) Search through Google web pages

This method is more convenient, and it can also be said to be simple and rude. We just need to look up the customer's company name on the Google search page, click on the company's profile, and we can get the customer's email address. But there will also be a different search method here. Here we will first introduce one, "company name + email", because our customers are likely to have published information on other platforms, and they are likely to have an email address. After checking, we find the address and then confirm it. If it is the customer's mailbox, we can send an email to the customer.

(2) Find the mailbox through the author's information

This method is suitable for relatively large websites. Generally, large-scale websites usually consist of multiple editorial content panels, and there will be many columns, including those related to foreign trade. There will be many authors in the column, and our clients will also arrange for outreach authors to publish relevant articles on the company's content. We can click on the author's name to enter the author's personal information interface and find the author's email address.

(3) Search through related software

Some software is free, but there are also paid software, because it involves technical research and development and other related issues. When purchasing foreign commercial information databases, these services generally involve the participation of third-party customs data companies, so choosing a third-party with strong strength and reliable data is also a skill.

(4) Supplementary introduction to the use of the website

When we usually use the website, if you pay attention, you will find that every major website will have a button to share content with other social software. We click this button, take Google+ as an example, there will be about after clicking, click about will The customer's contact information appears. This method may not find the customer's foreign trade mailbox, but getting the contact information is also a way to get twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, in addition to the methods I introduced to you today, there are many other ways. As long as novices practice and explore a lot, they will be able to pass this level and easily find the customer's foreign trade mailbox.
