How do foreign trade salesmen find foreign customers? Method introduction

Foreign trade salesmen are essentially salesmen, but they are engaged in foreign trade. Therefore, foreign trade salesmen also need to have the ability to acquire customers, strong communication skills and adaptability. So how do foreign trade salesmen find foreign customers?

1: Google Maps

It is a common way to find foreign customers using Google Maps. For example, if you want to find customers in India, you can search for words related to your products on the map of India, find the corresponding stores and shops, contact them by grabbing their contact information and email addresses, and then send emails to these merchants. (I won’t go into the skills of developing emails)

2: Customs data

I believe that everyone knows the importance of customs data now. Many foreign trade personnel will also use this method. To check the customs data and foreign buyers of a certain product, you can enter keywords or HS codes in the customs data search box. Remember, product keywords must be in English.

Customs data will record the names of foreign buyers and some contact information. Through these key information, you can find more clues. Understand which buyers are importing these products in a certain country, and can you contact them?

3: Camel Search

You can also find a lot of information about foreign traders on Camel Soso. For example, if you want to find a trader in the United States, you can circle the map of the United States to display the company information in that area. After receiving it, you can contact them. (Generally speaking, contacting foreign customers is done by sending emails, so it is also important to learn how to write emails)

In general, the methods used by foreign trade salesmen to find foreign customers include Google Maps, customs data, Camel Soso, foreign trade exhibitions, foreign trade B2B platforms, Yellow Pages, and social media.
