Understand the profession of foreign trade salesman

As a fresh graduate majoring in international trade, I dare not confidently say that I know this industry very well, and even what a foreign trade salesman does is not very clear, so I am confused about my future. I take this opportunity to learn about all aspects of this profession.

After all, foreign trade is actually sales. From the experience of the whole world, sales is indeed an important way to get rich quickly, and the entry threshold is also low. Some people don't have much experience, but they can do well with luck. Everyone said that the foreign trade situation in the past two years was not very good. In fact, every industry will do this, and it is impossible to get huge benefits at low cost as in previous years. But it can't be said that foreign trade can't go on. With the development of cross-border e-commerce, foreign trade will bring new business opportunities with cross-border e-commerce, but this thing is not difficult, it depends on individuals.

Let's take a look at the job descriptions of foreign trade salesmen on the recruitment website:

As can be seen from the above, developing customers, mail handling, foreign trade process, attending exhibitions and customer maintenance are the basic tasks of foreign trade salesmen. It will definitely take a month or two to get familiar with the product at first. Upload products every day. I will let you develop customers, send emails and handle emails in the future. This kind of repetitive work will be boring. Therefore, if you want to be an excellent foreign trade salesman, you must calm yourself down, endure the initial frustration, and continue to insist, in order to get the opportunity to place an order.

Foreign trade should not only deal with customers, but also deal with factories. If you get the list, but you don't deliver it on time because of the factory, it's also in vain. Therefore, it will be a great advantage for you to have a good relationship with your boss and purchasing, communicate with your customers, and ensure your delivery date, price and payment method. All roads lead to Rome. As long as I can keep an optimistic and lively heart, I believe I will succeed.
