Yesterday in Fubu foreign trade, I saw a risk reminder issued by a Fuyou, I hope that the majority of foreign trade friends should also be vigilant and not make the same mistake again.
As shown in Fig
In view of this risk, the following suggestions should be examined:
There are several factors that contribute to this risk:
1: There is no background investigation of the customer for a large amount of orders.
2: The payment method is too risky, if you are not a particularly familiar customer, generally do not purchase CIF payment method lightly. Even if you are an old customer who has cooperated for many years, you should choose this method, and you should study more.
Therefore, when you receive a large order, you must keep your eyes open, especially this CIF payment method, once you are cheated, your hard work for several years may be in vain.
There is also a ** risk. Everyone should also pay attention:
For example, if the customer takes the initiative to go to Sinosure, we must do a good job of customer background investigation.
Because some customers think that since you are already insured, you can get a claim even if I don't pay. Some customers may have such bad thoughts.
Let's tell you how we do back tuning, shall we?
1: Customer's**
View the company's profile on the website, including the date of establishment, industry, size of the company, company dynamics, terms of use and disclaimers, etc.
2: Social**
View the traces left by customers on major social networks**, platforms, information of the person in charge and company introduction.
3: Domain name
View the registration information, usage changes, rankings, visits, etc. **The copyright subject, sometimes showing a different company, may be the parent company of this company.
4: Business background check
View your client's company registration information, financial information, executive information, credit history, and more. Some companies that do credit investigation can do this, such as Sinosure. For example, the information in Europe is relatively public, and there is a lot of business information** You can also find some information. But if you have a large order, it is better to do a paid survey.
5: Customs data
View the customer's data on the trade, business, procurement cycle, etc. (but not every country has a country where customs data is open and can be checked).
6: Customer mailbox verification and search
Put the customer's email address in the Google search engine, and the information related to the email address will be called up, and the information that will be useful to you will be carefully screened.
7: Google Maps to check the real scene
Be sure to go to Google Maps to check the customer's surroundings to see if there are warehouses, floor space, company logo, etc.
Get different *** from customers in case you can't get in touch. This includes: mailbox, or other valid ***
9: Field trips
If the order amount is relatively large, be sure to do a field trip.
