不知不觉做外贸将近7年了,由于天资愚钝,至今也没能做的风声水起,勉强糊口而已,实在是汗颜,不过对英语却稍有感悟,于是迫不及待的把自己的感触和经验写出来,权当抛砖引玉:
1,英语学好不等于外贸能做好,英语毕竟只是交流的工具,双方交易的成功率取决于彼此渴求合作的程度,简单说就是如果你的产品和价格特别有吸引力,客户十分想买,只要你的英语可以进行简单的交流,你们就成功的合作;反之,如果产品没竞争力,你英文再好又有什么用?客户不是来跟你闲聊的,更不是来向你学英语的。
2,英语学到什么程度算好?不知道一直在学英语的XDJM们有没问过自己。英语毕竟不是我们的母语,这就注定了我们学英语有天生的缺陷---发音和断句,词汇量很大,发音不标准算学好英语了吗?不算!词汇量大,发音也标准,但断句和语调不符合欧美人的习惯,算学好英语了吗?不算!如果大家经常看欧美片的话,就会发现他们讲话停顿的地方和我们不一样,还有语调的升降。以上的这些全部都掌握了,算学好英语了吗?不算!正如汉语一样,英语也有很多俚语,有只有欧美人才能理解的幽默,生活环境和习惯不一样,咱们对事物的理解肯定不一样。
3,英语能学的非常好吗?个人觉得很难!首先是没有精力,其次是没有环境,毕竟,对于做外贸的我们,最重要的事情是开发客户,然后跟单,单子下来了要盯着生产,生产好后要注意发货,出了问题还要负责协调,很多时候会夹在客户和公司之间左右为难,做完这一切早已是身心疲惫,哪还有精力去“疯狂英语”?
4,对于一般人来说,我们到底要学什么样的英语来做外贸?这个是重点,要有一定的.英语基础,能进行基本的交流(至少要可以书面交流),你键盘上敲出来的文字要符合或大致符合语法规则,不要或极少拼写错误,不要太复杂的句法,通俗易懂的就好,相信这个大家都可以做到吧?还有要自信,要真诚,我们的客户不见得可以说流利的英语(大家都一样,谁笑话谁?忽忽),如果是英美的,更不会笑话我们,英语是他们的母语,他们讲的好是正常的,不会因为英文好而觉得自己很牛。
5,如果有XDJM对自己的口语不满意,想要通过练习加以提高,建议你们平时多听VOA或者BBC,不要看国内的英语节目和新闻,既然决定要好好学,那就跟NATIVE SPEAKERS学。
6,做外贸需要什么样的心态和素质。八个字--冷静,细心,自信,真诚!
冷静---有时候难免会遇到不够友好或无理取闹的客户,你会给气的七窍生烟,想破口大骂,NO!一定不要!要骂容易,上嘴唇碰下嘴唇,多么肮脏的话都能出来,可是骂过后你怎么收场?开发一个客户多么不容易,为了逞一时之快丢掉了,值得吗?如果有些客户特没素质,辱骂你甚至侮辱你的人格,微微一笑,把他拉进黑名单,他不配被你骂。
细心---客户说的话尽量都记下来,尤其是对产品的技术要求,以后产生争执的时候用的上,一天要做的事都要清楚的记得,记性不好就写在纸上,贴到抬头就可以看见的地方,没做完的事打个钩,确保第二天继续做。每个定单都要做详细的技术要求表,从材料,结构到颜色,甚至每个螺丝的型号,确信或尽量做到产品出现质量问题的时候,你没有责任!很多时候客户对的是你而不是工厂,产品出现质量问题,客户多少会怀疑你的能力,要是平时做事马马虎虎,让工厂也觉得你有责任,那么----卷铺盖走人吧!
自信---第一时间回复客户的询盘,报价表要详细专业,询盘回复后要不急不躁,跟紧是必须的,但要注意和客户联系的频率,不要追的太紧,让人家觉得你很烦,那就很危险了,你很容易被踢出局;即使你频率控制的很好,失败的几率还是很大的,或许客户忽然不想买了,或许你的竞争者做的更好,不要自责,更不要自卑,告诉自己你已经做的很好了!绅士的祝福客户,并保持联系,确保他的脑子里有你,记得你这个供应商,以后说不定有合作的时候,机会只会降临在那些有准备的人头上,RIGHT?
真诚---不要万不得已,不要对客户说谎,为了圆一个谎,你可能得撒十个谎,累不累?如果自己错了,就坦白的承认,真诚的道歉,人非圣贤,孰能无过?犯错后要多站在客户的立场上考虑问题,听他发牢骚,不要反驳,不要打断,他牢骚发完了,心情好点了,再次道歉并保证以后不会再犯同样的错误。要想生意长久,必须和客户交上朋友,确信你们的合作除了生意,还有友情,确信如果你们有那么一些小小的争执,他不会因此翻脸,离你而去。
