How to be a good salesman/saleswoman

Well, nowadays we do business with foreign businessmen through net. Then how to make good use the of the internet. Personally speaking, be diligent, sending mails to your target customers, posting information of your products in B2B web and other forums, anyways you can, then be patient, for you may have no replies, in this case many friends may feel disappointed.. For me i just keep in a good mood, do the job with high spirits, for i always believe that no pains no gains. IT is not your fault that no customer contacts with you, it doesn't mean that we do not have the ability to do the job.
_Z;W,D `m
'JYa zSuh7c So i just want to say--keep in a good mood, and also spend some time on reading.`%M(M%C,J(^

mCY-|*@.j's Lastly i want to share with you a practicable way to make ourselves in a good mood whole day----when you get up every morning, stand in front of the miror and smile to yourself, at the same time, motivate ourselves.*f mYqMwC.~$zN

How to be a good salesman/saleswoman " good topic.
9og'J0A9N&N7As6u$x Allow me to say a few words here
uv1Q!O5_ 1) English is a must  because it is widely used  as intermedia for international financial transaction, such as LC and others financial tools. However, for daily communication, others languages such as Spainese ( south American and panama), french ( European countries north Africans and middle east) and Japanese do play a very important role.therefore, you will have an additional advantage if you know a bit of others languages beside English
Gq;m7aK]v/i2V Please bear in mind, not all foreigner are fluency in English. @"E nxD
2) An efficient salesperson has to be an all-rounded person, in short, he/she has to know some basic of the followings0vp*DM/fv!c4z3P
a) What to sell ? it related to products knowledge, how best you know about your products etc.Zvi4YsRl2I B"lox
b) How to sell ? it related to how do you present your products to customer
'n8W#OF}#E c) Who to sell ? it related to how do you identify your potential customer
bf6]Kf0c"GWtS#l d) When and Where to sell ? it related to market surveyFB#},I"Q.H
e) Risk management , it related to payments and documentation
$mi"K6Z&rI#W0e{ 3) Personality does play a very important role here, a charming, patient and hardworking salesperson will win the heart of the customer eventually. Always treat your potential customer as friend and this is the first step in making business move and others will come naturally

How to judge the real and fake?

Recently I get emeil from Togo,and he wrote so much words in the email and want to cooperate with me?BUt he insist in their country has the special policy as follows:uXMA C@\H)A
:y/@M3y` ^ J(h
our bank has made us to understand that the very reason why the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT / MINISTRY OF FINANCE here in Togo passes this very subsidiary laws to all commercial bank is that some companies and high government officials uses the same business terms to push out all the government money into their private account in overseas wgich brought up all the down fail of the ECONOMY of this country Togo, so to mentain the ECONOMY stability in this country,so that is why and reason the passed to all commercial banks in Togo.9en(C1HlcQ)\1g%U

3t6pL"K]#K;N So it's dangerous to cooperate with Togo(West Africa)!

basically i agree with ykkdkky. M{zYi&g2N$lW*|4\
%c ?.Y,`W9@+I? E3y
but besides personal effort i do think enviromental reasons such as company condition and products itself have great effect on a saleperson.| G i#@g
}i ^@9T(| m@
firstly of all, what factors determine a best saleman? for your boss, a best salesman is the one who make the most profit for company. it has nothing to with the process. only the results matters. of course you need to work hard and get along well with your customers and keep orders coming in.l"{p*b9K F4J!D

~|"}0_8Y%e:z%I some companies, usually big companies provide very convinent environment for their salemens. first of all, they have many long-term customers. so even one don't explore new opportunities, he could just make great profit just by keeping in touch with the old clients. second, huge companies have more fianancial freedom, so they could invest a lot money on exploring new customers. they choose more effective way to draw attention of customers such as attending trade shows and register in b2b website as a paid member and of course SEO will be included.
n1Q(gG p]
/@a:w AY4i on the other hand, tiny companies have a little badget or even no badget for exploring new customers. basically salesperson's own effort and marketing skills is what they rely on. they do SEO, but a free one.
u0i-{3X8r t KY%i.y qW,?'e.o
that's why there are some salesmen working so busy to reply emails and make real deal and others are searching customer online all day long and keep waiting until finally they are free to go home.
6J~S:vv0c/x!{
7E)_"d_l B5z&q q so if you are confident and patient, spending time and maybe you will get some customers by your own effort. otherwise i think one should choose a proper company and seek for a proper position. Wi;I?!K;\r
/p0f)nS@5j
honestly i am a realistic person. although i believe in the charm of human being, i will also concern about the effect of business atmasphere.;}1~X#B TuK7f$z{5[-f
