MWQHJ - Alibaba interaction guidelines Flashcards
01
Always use a dedicated email for communications. I like to a use domain branded email address
02
Never tell them you are the boss. You need to come across as much bigger than you are so pretend to be a buyer, secretary or director
03
Pretend as though you don’t have final decision making
power
04
Always be super polite, don’t be direct, cocky or informal.
Always write in a professional tone
05
You must get them to respect you as a company
06
Never ask questions that may signal that you don’t know
what you are doing
07
Don’t bombard the vendors with too many questions
08
If you find that your vendor is ignoring you or not
responding, then you likely made a mistake. Even worse,
they’ll send you inflated prices
