all of you are speaking exllently

the opinon of my,i think talk about the thing which is the customer likes,but one thing importantly is that you must know many culture things or hot things!

What to talk with a foreigner

Hi everyone, I'm a new comer here. But I'm come to like it when surfing here. It' so exciting  and we can learn a lot.
f@\:t0W J{ #y|}/n#V"b} x4t\
When meeting a foreigner, don't be panic, just open your mouth and talk. Remeber: You are a Chinese, but just are speaking  English with him. Imagine: If a foreigner speak Chinese poorly, do you laugh at him?? eC} M;RL

@4SXt,N Regarding the topic, I think we'd better begin with weather, travel or traffic, of course food is ok, too. Then come to the business at the right time. You have to prepare well for the meeting, just as report to your Boss! Make a list at first and take a note during the meeting, then a Meeting Recap is good habit for you after meeting. Using this Recap, we can check with other for important things: quanlity, qty., dd, and some specifications.

my own idea

I think we should know much knowledge about the culture,the more,the better.
&S!o,i6A n9WOa,ep(U And we should understand our own culture deeply first.
#Y:DB8l _.rL'] The most important thing in communication with others from any country maybe respectionz NL#G@w nl1Y
to each other and sinere to others.It is an usual regulation.

It's good to get laughing in any language. Sight gags are funny, no matter what language you speak. Enjoying a laugh is very helpful in breaking the ice. Then it's easy to talk business.

2008-5-7 09:33 chenmp3
i think chinese tradition and culture is a good topic. through we not only can trrat foreigner's attention,but also can  introduce china to them.

I would like to share my first experience of treating foreign customers with you.
3e'uk Y`:R)g~ On June 7th 2008,there were two spanish customer visiting our factory.When it was time to meet them at YIWU airport,my boss called me that he was busy and asked a driver to keep company with me.I was very nervous at first.But I had  no choice.Anyhow,I had  maken some preparation  for it.Learning  some cultures of their countries and some simple oral spanish.?V"?i[+i@n.G/?'z
I wrote down their name on a paper and held when they came out of the exit.To my great joy,they were gentle and talktive.We talked much on the way .Then we went to a western restaruant for lunch.To be frank ,it was the first time to eat western food.A happy time to enjoy the lunch with them ,though the dishes was not my favorite.j!LdC0Z j~
After lunch ,we went to our factory,they discussed price with my manager,I played the role of translater.Even though there were some thing I did not understand well abou the products,my manager can understand with their body language.I was a lucky girl.
X q4Z4J|ebz As time went on,it was time for supper.They suggested eating chinese food.During the dinner time,I introduced  the specialty of this retaruant and proposed a toast for the friendship and prosperous of our two companies.I was glad they can use chopsticks.Then we sent them to hotels.It was for the first day.
R!n q2G dM:Ut On the second day,it was dragon boat festival.I bought rice dumplings for them and introduced the festival to them.Next I sent them to the airport.k'y"[vl1t
In a word,it is going well with the whole process.I know one reason is for their friendly,that I can  be at easy.x5A]~!\
In order to do better,there are more things to learn.#nhP#Nx,F$t:N:\
I will insist on and want to learn something from here.

In my opinion, cultural differences couldn't  eliminate. Because, the means of thinking of ours is different from foreigners. Chinese like to consider things from the whole events, but people from america or EU prefer to thinking things from details. Although i have been contacted many foreigners, i still can't understand some of their behaviors, and the same to them, they also couldn't understand us.
