Where should domestic trade enterprises plan and start from when transforming into international trade market?

1. Doing foreign trade is not a joke. We should make overall planning. The transformation of domestic trade enterprises into the international trade market is a choice that many enterprises are facing. Some enterprises are forced to transform, and some are planning the track in advance. Therefore, it must be clear on the whole and plan first. We must ensure that problems are identified, and the budget (rental, website, payment platform, social media, salary, social security, etc.) must be accurate to everyone. Before people are in place, the most important thing is not how much money can be budgeted to achieve team formation. I think the foreign trade system must be planned first, so that when the new people are in place, they can be implemented in place.

2. Secondly, with the initial shape of the international trading system, talents are still needed. Whether a system can be implemented in place depends on whether there are talents to implement it. At present, it is very difficult to recruit foreign trade talents. Whether it is provincial capital, prefecture-level city or county-level city, talents are the main problem restricting development. We must deal with this problem well, otherwise, the office has been rented and the system has been built, but the late arrival of talents will seriously affect the later development, and this problem should attract the attention of new enterprises.

3. The choice of platform should be practical and not blindly follow the trend. Now many newly prepared enterprises like to follow the industry, and I will follow what platforms others do. This is wrong, because the choice of payment platform varies greatly in different development stages. Mature enterprises generally have multiple platforms. Because of the maintenance and follow-up, small and micro enterprises can play on one platform and win. In the early stage of preparation, it should be agreed according to the existing talent structure. The choice of necessary platform or independent station must be based on reality, because these are intangible inputs, and many of them cannot be recovered in many cases. Therefore, those who do not understand can ask for leave from international trade professionals to explore and do not make blind choices.
