6、假如你有幸碰到頭銜是Director,Vice President等職務(wù)的買家,要多說一些戰(zhàn)略性的東西。這些人來展會不是為了1個柜2個柜來的。他們很多是來找戰(zhàn)略性伙伴的(Strategic Partners)。所以你要有放長線釣大魚的功力。假如你自己工廠實力可以的話,要主動的邀請這些人訪問你的工廠.這些職位的人很多學(xué)歷很高,有些人有MBA background. 所以,有點喜歡聽比較酸的話。這些人開口閉口就是: value, global supply chain, private label, costs, partnership,bottom line等等。你可以這樣說:We are one of the top 3 private label suppliers in the global market. Our producing capacity is more than 5,0000000000000/units each week. Furthermore, you know, the knowledge and the know-how sometimes is more important than the machines and equipments. Fortunately, we have accumulated enough producing and management know-how from our long-term co-operation with XXXX company. I am sure we can help you to reduce your international sourcing costs, we can help you to increase your bottom line. just let me know how I can create value.

7、客戶有權(quán)利問你很多問題,其實你也是有權(quán)利問客戶的:下列問題你可是試著問問看,對你了解客戶好處多多:
How can you evaluate your suppliers? 很多客戶不愿意直接回答你,因為確實太難了,你可以補充一句, just generally speaking, not the detailed principles.What's your purchasing plan for next season?
假如是零售商:How many stores does your company have?
假如是中間商:Do you distribute your goods only in your domestic market? Or in the whole Europe? Which country is your biggest market? (不能直接問誰是你最大的客戶,這樣太敏感了。

8、在展覽會最后一兩天的時候,你可以問: What do you think how about the trade show? Did you find everything which you need exactly? 你問這種問題很容易可以從客戶那里得到你們整個行業(yè)的情況,客戶的觀點對你是很有價值的。同時,你也間接的問客戶了客戶還有什么東西沒有找到,說不定你可以幫上客戶的忙,假如你剛好也有這種產(chǎn)品的話,客戶也會把定單下到你這里。

9、跟客戶介紹的時候,不要總是說, Our quality is very good. 展位上面大家時間都不多。不要說一些客人沒有辦法衡量的話,怎么樣才叫好呢?大公司的買家基本上都是至少大學(xué)學(xué)歷,很多都受過專門的采購培訓(xùn),他們內(nèi)部有一套定量的評估體系的。所以,最好是用你本行業(yè)的定量術(shù)語來表達,假如本行業(yè)沒有定量術(shù)語,就直接說,We have supplied our products for XXXXX company for 5 years, and XXXX company is quiet satisfied for our quality. So I believe we can meet or exceed your quality requirements. 這個XXXX公司最好是客戶應(yīng)該知道的,和客戶差不多同類檔次的,或者高一點點,不要高太多的。否則要誤解的。

10、其實,大公司的買手最關(guān)心的不是price, quality, 而是: reliability. 差不多的商品,買手從不同的供應(yīng)商購買,價格有點小差距,國外的公司是可以接受的。但是,買手找的供應(yīng)商出問題的話,那問題就大了,歐洲還好一點,美國可以馬上就走人。所以,我們假如能站在客戶的角度考慮問題,要讓買手覺得你在所有的供應(yīng)商里面,你是最reliable的,包括質(zhì)量,價格,長期供貨能力等等。
總之,你是在和客戶溝通,而不是被審問。一定要interactive。
