Since China is the world's most rapidly-developing economy, taking a proper hold of the business opportunities in China plays an essential role in the company that wants to boost their business globally. As a retired purchasing representative, the rules that I bear in my mind and the experience I gained from my practices when I find the manufacturer in China for the company I worked for it is no longer secret. Here I am going to share some tips of how to do business in China. I'll take iPhone repair parts for example:
1. Many businesses will go to China to find iPhone repair spare parts because of the renowned low cost of material and labor. Bear in mind that each region will have its own specific needs that will not always overlap with other parts of the country. Many businesses are clustered in one region. Others are spread-out. When it comes to the iPhone accessories, you should go to the cities in the southeast coast of China. Shenzhen is a good choice, for example.
2. In the information and technology era, you may begin with typing some key words. It's a great start, but also needs some tactful skills. Carefully choosing the reliable and famous website is the first step. Then you can browse their site by categories to find the category that best suits your interest. Some background research is needed when you choose those websites. Alibaba.com and some official websites of the China's trade departments are highly recommended.
3. After opening the pages of the website you may be dazzled and confused by all the information that comes to your eyes. Don't be nervous! Kindly refer to the category and the ranking list. They are useful references when you don't have the exact direction in your mind. Don't one hundred percent trust the ranking list. There are few more things need to be done before you finally click the "order" button.
4. No matter if you are searching the relative information on your own or just quickly choosing from the category, I believe you will somehow find it hard to decide the best one for you to make orders. Their price and your costs may be your exclusive concern. But the price differences between the companies may not be that huge comparing to the actual market. Still take the iPhone repair parts for example. Several companies' quoted price on the website page may be the same. But according to different amount they will offer their own discounts.
5. The principal to choose the optimal cooperator needs to click the link button for more details of the company. Kindly refer to the records and feedback from the former customers. A company with its own website may be more professional with the international business. Contact them directly through e-mails or telephone will add your knowledge about them. An experienced company will have the international business executive who can deal with the transaction in fluent English and needed professional quality.
