For many people who are new to foreign trade, it is very important to find your first international trade customer. But everything is difficult at the beginning. Most novices worry about what they should tell customers at the beginning. What if they are wrong? This causes them to lose a potential big customer; Or, after trying to communicate with customers for a few weeks, how can customers be very depressed without answering their news. Second, know where your customers have gone? Here are some tips for finding customers:
1、 Start with your own social media network
Take the ideal customer information and find the person who is likely to be consistent with your description from the social data. This process does not depend on how much you know, nor whether you talked to him last year, but simply judge whether he can meet the standards of international trade customers. These are contacts with potential customers, and you are most likely to have contacts with them, which means that you may attract customers' interest, attention and early sales.
2、 Find customers based on customs data
Using the customs data, you can quickly find the matching international trade buyers and their contact information. Sometimes when we use this contact information, we will find that they are not responsible for purchasing, because the responsible person does not want to be informed of the contact information to avoid being harassed.
3、 Operator big data
Is there a way to integrate the advantages of all the above ways of expanding international trade customers without spending too much money?
Naturally, it is the big data customer service platform of operators. Without consuming a lot of time and energy, the salesperson can spend the time saved on customers, talk about orders in depth, and then develop systematic marketing strategies to improve sales performance and work ability.
4、 Ask questions during customer development
When you provide goods or services to potential international trade customers for the first time, you may want to carry out some customer development. This is a procedure for finding customers who want to solve this problem by themselves. You can find relevant contact information through your enterprise's foreign trade website or social media group and get in touch with them. If the participants are rare, they can be promoted if they can provide certain funds or product incentives.
