Friends, brothers and sisters who are engaged in foreign trade, is business prosperous?It's not easy to get around outside!Come to think of it, customer development still depends on "data". However, the online "customs data" is sold unevenly, in fact, the quality of the information inside is also very different, and I accidentally fell into the trap of "three layers inside and three layers outside" set by others!Today, I will share with you six tricks to teach you which "customs data" is useful, so as to find a good resource for "golden jade"!
First, pay attention to the time span of data coverage. The new information reflects the needs of customers more realistically, but the earlier the information, the more outdated the information becomes, which will inevitably lead to the question of "I can't see the customer, and the customer can't see me". In addition, the level of reliability of data varies from country to country or region, and it would be too narrow to provide only one country data.
Secondly, we must pay attention to whether the customer in the information is complete. Although the name of the company can be found, it cannot be communicated directly after all. And direct contact channels such as ** and mailbox are more likely to generate real business opportunities. If the rejection rate is high, it will inevitably give the illusion of "icing on the cake".
Third, see if the data contains detailed information such as product breakdown and transaction amount. Only the rough company name is displayed, and it is better to go directly to the Yellow Pages. Without practical details, it is difficult to obtain commercial value. On the contrary, the complete breakdown reflects the true intentions of the resource provider.
Furthermore, it is necessary to pay attention to whether to distinguish between import and export enterprises and ** merchants. It's directly related to whether we can find the last customer. At the same time, don't ignore the different ways of writing the weight unit in some data, so as not to cause trouble.
Of course, it can't be said that it must be cheap. It is natural to communicate with the provider and seek preferential policies. But it depends more on their long-term service attitude and thoughtful update frequency. Perseverance is the only way to attain true knowledge.
The last trick is to find some customers who already have business dealings and observe whether the data stock is complete. This is the truest way to check quality!
In short, customer resources are the lifeblood of our foreign trade work. Why bother to believe other people's rhetoric. With these six tips, I believe everyone can find the "Red Fuji" that suits them best!There is still a long way to open up foreign trade, and we will make progress together!
