Who will be your first god "the client who had gave you the first order"

When we entered into the foreign trade, we all hope received the first order as soon as possible. I think the people who had gave you the your first order would give you deep impression in your business experience. Do you agree with me?

We always described the clients as our gods. In our eyes no orders meant no money or not too much money, so we always work hard to get the order from all of the world. But we must permit that our first order always made ourselves deep impression. we also remember our first god deeply and appreciated him/her who had given us the orders very much in our heart, especially the first god who had given us just a small order before.

I had heard a lot from some my friends that they remembered their first gods deeply. Your know when we entered into the international trade, all of the things were fresh to us, we needed to find the clients in the vast international marketing from all over the world by ourselves. The time passed, one days, one weeks, one months, two months……the time passed away as quickly as we can’t control, but we still had no order from anywhere. The boss would asked for us why no orders from you, because they just wanted to know the results but not the procedure. Oh, so bad luck, we would encounter the situation of losing the work or reducing our salary next.

A few days later, you received an enquiry from your client that he was showing interested in your products, then you did your best to introduce your products and your company: “you bargained the price, discussed the payment term condition and delivery times and so on” and at last you and your client sign up the contract finally, you got your first order from your first client. So good luck!

Then he showed the reliable about you and gave you the 30% money as deposits, you took the exciting motion to tell your boss that you obtained your first order. Even if there was a small order compare with your all of the orders you had finished, that also valuable to us because of proving your value and giving you confidence.

And now they and their first clients are not only the just business relation, but also the good friends. They also treasured their friendship between their first gods very much. Because they know very well that their real international business experience begin from him/her. Their first order had given they more brave and confidence, it encouraged they walk more and more farther. Their first order had helped they walk out their dark situation at their time. So we all remember our first god very much. Thanks our first god very much.

Hello everyone, ever you had the same feeling about your first god from the worldwide. Sharing your experiences and opinions about your first god. Do you agree with my opinion or not, leave your message for discussing.


Whether you already have your first god or still waiting for him/her, hope all of you have good luck in your foreign trade in the future.

Best Regards!

Grow with Alibaba.com
Hello, everyone,

It's so honor to have this chance and introduce myself to all of you here. First I must thank admin and Alibaba.com service team.

I am Peter Zhou from Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. Honeymoon is my nickname in the Ali's Forum. Six months ago, Alibaba.com is a strange thing for me, I have never heard it before. I had been working in Logistics for two years, and promoted to be a department manager one year ago, due to personal reasons and other factors, I left my first job. Also due to my big brother was an international trader, I entered into international trade. This is why I work in this field now.

The new work, the new environment means all of the things should be new started. With my brother's introducing, I got to know Alibaba.com which was a famous B2B website in the international trade. In my first visiting, I found that I can hardly read their topics, so pity. I didn't lose heart, but feel more interested in the forum. During visiting the forum, I knew Professor Carl who specializes in language teaching, he was a kind hearted man who had given me much help. For examples, he had given me post corrections, he had given our lessons about oral communication, and he had given us some more good suggestions about our learning English. So luck.

During these six months, I learned and obtained a lot from the forum of Alibaba.com, the knowledge, the skills and some good opinions. Now I found more and more change had happened to me. Now I can easily understand the meaning of the topics and articles, I can easily search more valuable information from this forum. Therefore, I can say that my experience within my international trade was growing with the Alibaba.com. I believe I will do successful in my business in the future with the help of Alibaba.com.

This is my experience within international trade. Growing with the Alibaba.com, more and more surprising would happen. I deeply believe that.
Best regards!

Peter Zhou
