4、ts as making a Proforma Invoice, arranging production, booking space until the goods are dispatched smoothly to the outside countries.

6、oducts; proforma invoice; booking space1. IntroductionWith the reform and opening up of plastic industry in our city, plastic products rise rapidly. It has become an important pillar industry in citys industrial economy, making a positive contribution to agriculture, packaging, automotive, machinery

7、 and other related industries. In the 21st century, the city plastics industry is facing new opportunities and challenges especially when most of the plastic products are for export.During my internship period, I worked as a foreign trade sales person, and my job responsibility is contacting the bus

8、iness and exporting the products. This process is regular but complex. As to this process design, I have my own experience. First, I must be proficient in knowing the products. Second, I should know the theoretical process of exporting the plastic products so that I can apply it to practice. Third,

9、I should be careful enough in each process of exporting, because each process is very important. And the procedure of exporting plastic products includes inquiry, offer, confirmation of price, firm offer, acceptance, making a proforma invoice, making a production plan and booking space.In todays com

10、petitive business world, being knowledgeable and gaining enough working experiences are vital. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the need for knowing the details process. The constant advances in technology have helped us enhance our business relationship. For example, internet and email help the

11、 foreign trade sales a lot. After Chinas accession to the WTO, more and more products are sold to foreign markets, the plastic products are no exception. Our company produces many kinds of plastic products, specializing in bar mat, bar runner, mouse pad, door mat, coaster and any other plastic mats，

12、and a lot of them are exported to other countries all over the world.This design introduces the preparation stage, trade negotiations and the specific process of the export of plastic products. The specific process part will analyze making the proforma invoice, arranging production and booking space

13、 until the goods are sent abroad. In addition, the design introduces the experiences and feelings of my practice.2. Preparation2.1 Familiarizing the Equation of Time among Different CountriesWe all know that equation of time exists in different countries. When it occurs to foreign trade, the time me

14、ans whether you can accept the order. In Europe, their time will be later than China. In order to raise the frequency of contacting, many companies change their schedule. Usually, there are a lot of companies who dont have to work in the morning, so they start to work in the afternoon, and end in th

15、e evening. In the highly competitive foreign trade field, many companies have to do so, so as to ensure adequate communication with the foreigner, in the hope of receiving more orders. Owing to the equation of time among different countries, well lose some orders if we dont care for this difference,

16、 which will cause serious results.As far as I am concerned, Belgium is the biggest business cooperation partner in our company. Belgiums equation of time with our country is six hours, and Belgium is six hours earlier than us. In order to be able to have more time to conduct business communication,

17、a lot of Belgian businessmen get up at the midnight, even in the early morning to negotiate with us. Only in this way can those businessmen establish business relationships with us. They also have business partners in China to ensure that they have more foothold in Belgium. Belgian businessmens figh

18、ting spirit is admiring. Our company staff feel quite honored that we can work together with them, and the exporting to Belgium is also increasing to promote our mutual benefits.Similarly, in our daily work, we also have encountered many countries of the time problem. They are several hours later th

19、an us. In this way, we can not get to work until the afternoon to ensure that our schedules are basically consistent with counterpart. If you have any questions or requests, you can resolve it the first time. In order to facilitate business contacts and enhance mutual affection, it is through freque

20、nt chatting or contacting with foreigners that they come to you directly once they have the orders. Therefore, being aware that different countries have differences in time is extremely important in foreign trade. We must treat it seriously.2.2. Searching the BuyerIn the foreign trade, knowing how t

21、o write introduction letters to new customers for the establishment of relations is an important issue in business communications. To build business cooperation with prospective dealers is one of the important measures both for a newly established firm and an old one. So, when we hope to keep oursel

22、ves in the foreign trade, we must learn to write proper introduction letters to search the buyers.Usually, every company has a trade manager both at and . or any other trade network. I often sign in these B2B websites to search the buyer. When I logined those website, what I found was that there wer

23、e many buyers who needed plastic products, so I just sent them an introduction letter to let them know my identity, i.e., I was the manufacturer, specializing in plastic products. If the customer needed the items, he would contact me later. And the reference letters are as follows:Dear Sirs/Madam,It

24、s my pleasure to contact with you. Im from Cixi MingSheng Rubber & Plastic Co., Ltd. I learned your information from Global Source.We are the manufacturer of bar mat, bar runner, door mat, floor mat, coaster, mouse pad and any other items as you like. You can find the attached catalogue for your ref

25、erence, or you can scan our website: . If you are interested in any other items, please dont hesitate to contact us. We hope we can have a good business cooperation in the future. ThanksWaiting for your reply.Sincerely,Jim2.3 Building Long-term Business RelationshipsEstablishing long-term business r

26、elationships with the customers is an essential step, but it is not that difficult as long as we comply with some basic principles.First, we should put customers requirements in the first place, and do our best to meet the needs of the customers. If our customer has some special requirements about t

27、he goods, we should listen carefully and then try to know whether the requests are reasonable. If they are reasonable, we should try our best to fulfill. Otherwise, we have to explain to the customer that their requirements are beyond our control.Second, we have to find out the common language while

28、 contacting with our customer. It is said that the foreigners are more enthusiastic than us Chinese. After I work as a foreign trade sales person, I come to know the meaning of this sentence. They are easy-going, and our chatting is rather relaxing and free. After a period of time, I get to know the

29、m a lot ranging from their likes and dislikes. Thus, our friendship is established, which is another way to do business successfully, especially to obtain more orders.Third, promoting sales in some particular fairs. And sincerity counts in the mutual communication. For example, every year, our compa

30、ny will come to Hong Kong to take part in China Sourcing Fair. This is because the foreigners dont trust us and our products at first. So, both parties get together to know more information about each other. After that face-to-face meeting, they will set their mind at rest, i.e., they begin to have

31、confidence in our products.3. Business Negotiation of Plastic Products3.1 InquiryIn the preparation, weve talked about how to search the buyer. After we put our products information on the website or on the internet, we also leave our email or other methods for contact. If there is a customer who is

32、 interested in our companys products, he will send an inquiry to us. But we should select the inquiry at first, because usually there are some rubbish inquiries which only contain the item of asking for price, without any intention to buy the goods from us. However, if he really wants to buy our goo

33、ds, he makes an inquiry in which he can write in simple English for most of the time. As a possible buyer, he neednt use any careful words or phrases5. Here is an authentic inquiry letter for your reference.Dear Jim,We are a Hong Kong PR company. Our product lines are Wine or Beer promotionproducts.

40、nd the quality about the products. Maybe some customers will bargain.
