As a foreign trader, how to adjust your work status?

1. Adjust the state and let yourself really return to work.

As a senior foreign trader with a professional manager above 10, I will adjust my holiday status one day in advance in order to have a good working condition in the new year. During the Spring Festival, we usually have a lot of entertainment, parties and entertainment activities, and I will refuse these activities the day before the working day to tell myself psychologically that we will officially start working soon. If you officially go to work on the eighth day of the first month, it is more appropriate to read some work plans and statements on the seventh day of the first month, and at the same time make a simple plan for the work objectives of the new year. The most important thing is to get enough sleep the day before the official working day, because only enough sleep can make us full of energy and energy on the first working day of the new year. For many newcomers to foreign trade, the new year's working day is about to begin.

Please remember that good working condition, abundant working energy and passionate working expectation will be the best "first prize" on the first day of the new year and bring you good luck in the new year!

2. How to return to work after the Spring Festival holiday?

At present, there are many post-90s employees in foreign trade companies. Many newcomers to foreign trade say that people go back to work during the Spring Festival holiday. In fact, many people's hearts are still floating in the amusement during the holiday, so they can't work with peace of mind and efficiency. If they can't accept their heart in time, such a negative working state will last for a week, which will seriously affect their work performance and even teamwork. Therefore, after the Spring Festival, the company should help employees, especially the young employees born in the 1990s, to accept their hearts in time. Our company does whatever it does after the Spring Festival.

On the first day after the Spring Festival, employees are generally immersed in the afterheat after the holiday, and it is human nature that people don't meet for a long time during the Spring Festival holiday. We are used to greeting each other and exchanging information about the Spring Festival. Therefore, the workload of our company in the week before the Spring Festival is generally not too heavy, especially on the morning of the first day of work after the Spring Festival, which is basically in a state of excessive vacation and basically does not enter the formal working state. According to the practice of our company, employees of our company usually have dinner together at noon to contact their feelings. The key point is that staff mobilization meetings are usually held in the afternoon, and the overall meeting atmosphere tends to be formal and rigorous. Generally, we talk about the work plan for the new year, set some sales performance targets, and give some hints about the shortcomings of last year's work. Through such staff meetings, the whole company atmosphere will enter a formal working state. At the same time, it is suggested that the middle managers of the company adjust the working status of the first-line foreign trade salesmen in time and formally enter the working stage.

3. Company's New Year Opening Ceremony

According to different corporate cultures and company regions, every company will have some company opening ceremonies on the first day after the Spring Festival holiday to pray for blessings. Generally speaking, factories will set off firecrackers and dance lions. In fact, this is the embodiment of corporate culture, and it is also an important symbol of team integration and morale-boosting New Year's blessing. Team members can really participate in such New Year activities, which can not only strengthen team feelings, but also effectively avoid the job phobia caused by the lack of energy of many foreign trade newcomers!

4. Give yourself a real New Year's work plan

As a senior foreign trader, I have always suggested that foreign trade salesmen in our company should have the habit of writing work plans. Such a suggestion seems a bit rigid. In fact, this habit can make us really think deeply about our work goals, especially for foreign trade salesmen, making a work plan and seriously implementing it will be the best way for us to grow up, and you should remember that the work plan for the new year is for yourself!

Generally speaking, on the first day of the new year, the company's managers will summarize last year's achievements and talk about the goals and prospects of the new year. Foreign trade salesmen can seriously consider and summarize their own industry trends this year, their own industry advantages, their own advantages and disadvantages in the past year, and really start their work in the new year in combination with their own business reality. The best reward of work planning is to let yourself think deeply about your work and check for leaks.

5. The most effective way to start the first day of the New Year.

In fact, for every foreign trade salesman, there will be many things we need to do when we return to work during the Spring Festival holiday. For example, Alibaba's customers will reply to inquiries, contact and greet suppliers, greet freight forwarders, pay attention to customers' orders and the production process of orders before the year, and even face changes in company personnel in the new year. I remember sharing with you last year how foreign trade salesmen can improve their work efficiency. I shared my experience in that article. If we want to make our foreign trade work efficient, we must deal with our tasks in order of priority, especially after the Spring Festival holiday, there are often many things that need urgent treatment.

1. Pay attention to the order process of key customers.

As a foreign trade salesman, our core values are still customers and orders, so the first thing to do when we come back from vacation is to contact key customers, especially the orders that were in progress years ago. Our company generally has a customer management software system, so many foreign trade salesmen manage the customer's order process. If many foreign trade newcomers don't have customer management software and have more customers, they can take out a piece of paper to sort out their orders, especially in progress. Generally speaking, ongoing orders will involve suppliers, shipping companies and freight forwarders, as well as customer communication. You should do this job well on the first day after the Spring Festival.

2. Greet suppliers and exchange ideas about cooperation in the new year.

Just now, we said that the first thing in the new year is to deal with the ongoing orders of key customers (especially those placed years ago), so it is another very important thing for us to contact and communicate with suppliers after the holiday. Nowadays, due to the influence of the market environment, many factories are not very profitable, so they usually start late, and many factories start later than foreign trade companies. Some suppliers haven't started work even after the first month of 15, so as a foreign trade salesman, they should communicate with the factory in time and master the start date of the factory. At the same time, we can simply exchange ideas of cooperation with the factory in the new year by paying special attention to the changes of raw materials and product prices of suppliers, which is also the core. At the same time, foreign trade salesmen can also ask factories if their core positions will change, such as design, R&D and commodity inspection personnel.

3. Contact the freight forwarding company

Years ago, foreign trade salesmen generally had orders in progress, so besides contacting suppliers, it is also important to greet freight forwarding companies in the New Year. On the one hand, contacting the freight forwarding company will inform the other party that we have gone to work, and at the same time, we can confirm and communicate the orders in progress, including the bill of lading and invoice packing list, to ensure the safe delivery of the orders. In fact, it is very important for foreign trade salesmen and freight forwarders to maintain a good relationship. Good relations with freight forwarders can not only get advantageous prices, but also the most important thing is that we often encounter some foreign trade accidents in the process of practicing foreign trade shipment. At this time, the value and function of freight forwarders or shipping companies are very important, especially many of our new foreign traders are not familiar with a lot of foreign trade knowledge, and we should also consult freight forwarders about foreign trade logistics in our daily foreign trade work. Therefore, it is very necessary to contact the freight forwarder on New Year's Day.

4. Full restoration of working conditions

Follow up key customer orders, contact supplier factories, greet freight forwarding companies, and then do the following work. Generally speaking, it gives all our customers the start-up information about Kunfa Company and brings the most sincere New Year wishes. We look forward to better cooperation on 20 17. Such e-mails sent by Kun are generally formatted. If foreign trade newcomers don't have this format of mail, you can Baidu it. Baidu Library will have many email templates formatted in this way. The second is Alibaba's reply to the inquiry. After so many days off, Alibaba has accumulated a lot of inquiries. When replying to the customer's email, we should inform the customer, because we delay replying to the email during the Chinese New Year, and hope the customer will understand. At the same time, it is necessary to confirm the price of new year's goods with suppliers before issuing the price list of new year's goods, because many factories often adjust the price during the new year's goods. Now many foreign traders do cross-border e-commerce. During the Spring Festival, we will put up posters of the Spring Festival holiday in our own shops. After the New Year's work, we will replace these holiday advertisements in time, and we can write some inspirational words about the New Year's work, indicating the working hours, so that customers can rest assured that we can place orders and deliver them in time.
