出口外贸的道路上没人会怜悯大家,仅有自身英勇向前
尤其难忘的还记得,2013年今年初,接到一个沙特客户的外贸询盘,价格后客户沒有讨价还价,毫不在意了咱们的价钱,之后客户就放暑假了,再之后,到4月份,客户说要来中国,要看看咱们的工厂。
5月份客户来审厂,他开始到上海市,看过此外一个工厂,随后赶到西安市,我很用心的干了提前准备,提早学了有关专业术语(我们都是做客户所须要的这一产品的一个零配件,因为人们的客户群恰好是客户所须要的产品,因此大家对这一产品的市場很掌握,干了PPT. 属实的告知客户,大家做的是这一产品的一个零配件,可是大家对中国的这一领域十分掌握,客户听后很令人满意。
第二天,客户,我的boss三个人一起前去咱们的工厂所在城市,长沙市,到工厂,那里相互配合非常好,之后客户当场购买了一套试品,说带上试品回来检测,检测完后提交订单,接着客户便去上海市了,大家第二天回西安,当客户刚离去,他又说必须此外一款试品,第二天他又要离去上海市,時间急迫,临时性决策,我送以往,那时候确实一波三折,定的飞机票,眼见着有票付款的情况下没了,最终总算定了一班11点多到的,我赶来酒店餐厅的情况下早已零晨了,上海市下起毛毛雨,那时候认为自身好可怜,有一种卖火柴的小姑娘的感觉。
客户归国后,急缺一批货,那时候人们的技术性错判了产品的难度系数,自身决策赶这一批货,货好后因为交货期太紧,寄快递赶不及,因此之后的作法是,我一个人带上货,到上海虹桥机场,找去沙特的飞机航班,任意请人把货带过去,60kg,两箱子货,深更半夜抵达上海市,寻车送我到酒店餐厅,第二天又要到飞机场,感觉2个小箱子确实不太好拿,又去大街上找了一天小箱子,到中午.我意识到,一天没吃饭,之后把全部的货放到一个大旅行箱,打的到飞机场,任意找了一个去沙特的中国人,把货带来了客户。客户那时候讲了许多感谢的话语,哪些货好,请全家人去阿联酋迪拜,住帆船酒店这类的,我那时也每每回事儿,只觉得好好地做产品,多下订单。过去了几日客户接到货,说咱们的产品所有不过关,那时候基本上奔溃,那样投入的最后居然是如此的,确实怪自己并不是一个技术性。
再之后,客户说必须一批货,可是大家需要接纳先查验后付款,由于过去的异常纪录,下边是客户原句
we confirm your price.
Then how is payment method?
we can pay you with cash that some one transfer for us to china,
But we have bad history about China's Product. they are not in time. they are not send good product and change the word easily and we cant believe any answer because Chinese change the answer quickly.
We want be sure about all thing.
We want test all the product for first and then pay you. how can we do it?
can we test all product in china and pay you 50% and test it in End user and Pay you other 50% ?
or
Can we test product just in End User and if all thing is good then we pay 100% after test?
i understand you that your company want warranty about payment, but think about my company too, because we have bad history about china we should be sure about the quality and linear range of your product and then pay.
in future if your product is good, we can pay you 100% before produce, but we concern about this first purchase.
Reply: Yes, you can pay by cash.
I am very sorry for last bad history. And I understand you and your company. For our first order, we agree both of your payment method: You test all product in china and pay 50% and test it in End user and Pay other 50%.
Or your ender user test and if all thing is good then pay 100%.
If this first order works well, in the future, please pay 50% down payment, and the balance please pay after the products have been ready.
后边大家的几个老总通过商议,要我那样回应客户,那时候人们的价钱报的非常高,我都担忧客户不订购,因此找老总谈,老总说这一大家负责的隐患大,因此价钱得定高一点,之后就依照老总的念头实行了,之后送货后,客户接到后说这是一个政府部门的新项目,必须过一段时间才知道結果,大家一直细心的等候着,客户也一直与我保持联络,直至他接到货的第4个月,客户居然神一样的消失了,电话打不通,skype,qq,whatapp,viber所有联络不了。
因而,因为我没法在过去的企业待起来了,出口外贸道路上这一段小故事要我终身难忘,专此立帖留念。并另附一些相片
