How to become a foreign trade expert?

The primary task of foreign trade personnel is sales. Without sales, products and enterprises have no hope. At the same time, the work of foreign trade personnel is still expanding. Only sales are hopeless, because you are selling products or services. Only by constantly expanding the market can we establish a long-term market position, win a long-term market share, establish important intangible assets for the sales channels of enterprises, and win stable performance for ourselves.

As an excellent foreign trader, what kind of mentality should you have?

First, sincerity

Attitude is the basic requirement to determine whether a person can do things successfully. As a salesperson, you must treat customers and colleagues with a sincere heart. Only in this way can others respect you and treat you as a friend. Business representatives are the image of enterprises, the embodiment of enterprise quality, and the hub connecting enterprises and society, consumers and distributors. Therefore, the attitude of business representatives directly affects the product sales of enterprises.

Second, confidence.

Self-confidence is a strength. First of all, we should have confidence in ourselves and encourage ourselves at the beginning of work every day. I am the best! I am the best! Self-confidence will make you more energetic. At the same time, believe in the company, believe that the company provides the best products to consumers, believe that the products you sell are the best of its kind, and believe that the company provides you with opportunities to realize your own value.

To be able to see the advantages of the company and its own products, and keep these in mind, to compete with competitors, we must have our own advantages and face customers and consumers with the belief of winning.

As a foreign trader, you are not only selling goods, you are also selling yourself. Only when customers accept you will they accept your goods.

Joe girard, the creator of Guinness World Records, known as the king of car sales, once sold more than 65,438+0,600 cars in one year, with an average of nearly 5 cars a day. When he applied for a job as a car salesman, the boss asked him, have you ever promoted cars? He said, no, but I have sold daily necessities and electrical appliances. I can sell them, which means I can sell myself, and of course I can sell cars.

Knowing that there is no power, I also believe that there is power. Joe girard can succeed because he is confident that he can do it.

Third, be a man with a conscience.

"Pay attention to everything and learn", cultivate the habit of thinking hard and be good at summing up sales experience. Review your work every day to see where you are doing well. Why? This is not good. Why? Ask yourself more why? Only by discovering the shortcomings in our work can we continuously improve our working methods, and only by improving our ability can we seize the opportunity.

Opportunities are equal for everyone. As long as you have the will, you will definitely become a leader in the industry. When Wang Yongqing, an entrepreneur in Taiwan Province, started his own rice shop, he recorded the time when customers bought rice every time, and remembered how many people were there in his family. In this way, he worked out how many days people can eat and distributed them to customers after eating. It is Wang Yongqing's carefulness that makes his career grow and develop.

As a foreign trader, we should know every change of customers, try to grasp every detail, be a conscientious person, constantly improve ourselves and create a more wonderful life.

Fourth, toughness.

In fact, sales work is very hard, which requires the hard-working spirit and perseverance of business representatives. "You can win people's hearts only by eating once and gaining wisdom." Half of the sales work is done by feet. Always visit customers, coordinate customers, and even follow consumers to provide services. Sales work is by no means smooth sailing, and there will be many difficulties, but we must have the patience and indomitable spirit to solve them.

Before becoming famous, American star Stallone recommended himself to Hollywood studios one by one in order to be able to appear in movies. After he hit the wall 1500 times, finally a film company was willing to use him. Since then, he has embarked on the film industry, and with his perseverance, he has performed many tough guy images and become one of the most famous movie stars in Hollywood.

Are the problems encountered by foreign trade personnel greater than those encountered by Stallone every day? number

Five, good psychological quality

Only with good psychological quality can we face setbacks and not be discouraged. Every customer has different backgrounds, different personalities and different ways of doing things. If you are hit, you should keep a calm mind, analyze customers more, constantly adjust your mind and improve your working methods, so that you can face all the blame. Only in this way can we overcome the difficulties. At the same time, don't be carried away by temporary success. You should know that "joy begets sorrow". Only in this way can we win without arrogance and lose with grace.

Sixth, communicative competence.

Everyone has strengths. Not all foreign traders are versatile and eloquent, but we must communicate with others more, cultivate our communication skills and make as many friends as possible, so that there will be more opportunities. You know, more friends are the only way out. In addition, friends are also resources, you know, owning resources will not succeed, but making good use of resources will succeed.

Seven, enthusiasm

Enthusiasm is an infectious emotion that can drive people around to pay attention to certain things. When you communicate with customers with enthusiasm, your customers will "reciprocate". You happened to meet your customers when you were walking on the road. You reach out and greet each other warmly. Perhaps he hasn't met anyone who values him so much for a long time. Perhaps, your enthusiasm will lead to new business.

Eight, a wide range of knowledge.

Foreign trade personnel must deal with people at all levels. Different people pay attention to different topics and contents. Only extensive knowledge can make them have the same topic with each other and chat speculatively. Therefore, we should dabble in all kinds of books, regardless of astronomy and geography, literature and art, news, sports and so on. As long as we have leisure, we should form the habit of continuous learning.

Nine, the sense of responsibility

The words and deeds of foreign trade personnel represent your company. If you have no sense of responsibility, your customers will learn from you, which will not only affect your sales, but also affect the image of the company. There is no doubt that this will hurt the market.

A family of three lives in a new house. Seeing that her husband and son don't pay much attention to hygiene, the wife wrote a slogan at home: Pay attention to hygiene, everyone is responsible. When my son came home from school, he saw the slogan and changed it to "Pay attention to hygiene, adults are responsible". The next day, my husband saw it and took out a pen to change the slogan to "Pay attention to hygiene, and my wife is responsible."

Although this is a joke, it illustrates a problem. The responsibility cannot be shirked. Only by taking responsibility like the person in the story can we make our home more sanitary? First of all, we should pay attention to hygiene ourselves and don't shirk our responsibilities. As a foreign trader, your sense of responsibility is your reputation, and your sense of responsibility determines your performance.

X. bargaining power

In fact, business representatives are always negotiating, and the process of negotiation is a process of persuasion, that is, a process of finding the best interests of both sides. Before the negotiation, we should know each other's situation. The more we know each other, the better for us, and the more opportunities we have to take the initiative.

Sun Tzu said, know yourself and know yourself, and you will win every battle. The performance of bargaining power is not that you can talk endlessly, but that you can grasp the main points and meet the needs of customers first. When both sides disagree, it depends on how much you usually know about your customers. Then, the more information you have, the better use your initiative may be. The purpose of bargaining power is win-win and mutual benefit.

A business representative should cultivate the habit of thinking and summarizing diligently. You have to negotiate with different customers in different ways every day to reach the most satisfactory transaction. This is the purpose of your negotiation.
