6.假如你有幸碰到头衔是Director，Vice President等职务的买家，要多说一些战略性的东西。这些人来展会不是为了1个柜2个柜来的。他们很多是来找战略性伙伴的(Strategic Partners)。所以你要有放长线钓大鱼的功力。假如你自己工厂实力可以的话，要主动的邀请这些人访问你的工厂.这些职位的人很多学历很高，有些人有 MBA background. 所以，有点喜欢听比较酸的话。这些人开口闭口就是：value, global supply chain, private label, costs, partnership，bottom line等等。你可以这样说：
We are one of the top 3 private label suppliers in the global market. Our producing capacity is more than 50,000,000,000,000/units each week. Furthermore, you know, the knowledge and the know-how sometimes is more important than the machines and equipments. Fortunately, we have accumulated enough producing and management know-how from our long-term co-operation with XXXX company. I am sure we can help you to reduce your international sourcing costs, we can help you to increase your bottom line. just let me know how I can create value.
7.客户有权利问你很多问题，其实你也是有权利问客户的。下列问题你可是试着问问看，对你了解客户好处多多：How can you evaluate your suppliers? 很多客户不愿意直接回答你，因为确实太难了，你可以补充一句, just generally speaking, not the detailed principles. What's your purchasing plan for next season?
假如是零售商：How many stores does your company have?
假如是中间商：Do you distribute your goods only in your domestic market? Or in the whole Europe? Which country is your biggest market? 不能直接问谁是你最大的客户，这样太敏感了。
8.在展览会最后一两天的时候，你可以问： What do you think about the trade show? Did you find everything which you need exactly? 你问这种问题很容易可以从客户那里得到你们整个行业的情况，客户的观点对你是很有价值的。同时，你也间接的问客户了客户还有什么东西没有找到，说不定你可以帮上客户的忙，假如你刚好也有这种产品的话，客户也会把定单下到你这里。
9.跟客户介绍的时候，不要总是说, Our quality is very good. 展位上面大家时间都不多。不要说一些客人没有办法衡量的话，怎么样才叫好呢？大公司的买家基本上都是至少大学学历，很多都受过专门的采购培训，他们内部有一套定量的评估体系的。所以，最好是用你本行业的定量术语来表达，假如本行业没有定量术语，就直接说，We have supplied our products for XXXXX company for 5 years, and XXXX company is quiet satisfied for our quality. So I believe we can meet or exceed your quality requirements. 这个XXXX公司最好是客户应该知道的，和客户差不多同类档次的，或者高一点点，不要高太多的。否则要误解的。
