Xiao Yang: Sister Lin, I got price-squeezed by the client again... They said Vietnam is 15% cheaper than us.
Sister Lin: Reply with these three points immediately: First, "Our eco-friendly materials passed EU testing—here's the report"; Second, "We provide free secondary process modifications to ensure zero sample risks"; Third, "Last year we helped a German client reduce return rates to 0.3%—case study attached".
Xiao Yang: But the price still can't compete...
Sister Lin: Remember, foreign trade isn't selling cabbage—it's selling solutions. If clients only talk price, show them production videos: workshop dust removal systems, real-time QC monitoring. Make them see where the "premium" comes from.
Xiao Yang: How to push for faster orders then?
Sister Lin: Use "loss aversion" psychology. Tell them: "Your model has last batch in stock, materials rise 8% next week. Also, this reserved free sampling quota expires month-end."
Xiao Yang: What if client left on read?
Sister Lin: Send messages Thursday 4pm. Data shows European clients just start work with clean inboxes. Don't ask "available?"—attach competitors' new product screenshot: "We noticed they're using this packaging. Already upgraded solution for Client A—need data?"
Xiao Yang: You're turning sales into intel-sharing!
Sister Lin: Final reminder—foreign trade competes on efficiency, not time zones. Every hour delay increases 27% order loss. Now pull up your last inquiry tracking sheet—we'll review every five minutes.
Xiao Yang: (Standing up immediately) On it!
