Can you find reliable customers through customs data?

Customs data, if used well, is really an artifact.

Near the end of each year, there are always a lot of data companies selling customs data, and there are even several calls in one morning, which makes people have to suspect that this business is really profitable.

Many people got the customs data and found that there was no buyer's contact information on it, which was slightly disappointed. In fact, customs data should be used as the icing on the cake, rather than help. If your business is not good, you should strengthen business development and bill more, instead of relying on the customers on the customs data to save you. If your business is already doing well, look at customs data to see how big your potential customers and potential market are.

The company will purchase customs data in a unified manner, and organize it in a unified manner for everyone to study together. This research is mainly aimed at customers and competitors. In the customs data, you can see the monthly export information of the peers, including the volume and amount. Although it shows who is buying, as long as people go to the market to inquire, they will know who is buying. The information is so transparent now that there is no information gap at all. After one pass of feedback, the strategy for a certain country can be readjusted.

Once a new customer came up to inquire, and kept asking me for a lower price. After learning about the brand he is currently importing, I called up the customs data in the background, and found the import volume and price of this brand. The import price, I already have a very clear judgment on this customer in my heart. Knowing his bottom line and expectations will naturally be more conducive to my negotiation, and I can negotiate smoothly later.
