Well the easiest way would be to make a nice presentation in any form where you note down everything you want to say about the product/s. Then you have it translated by a PROFESSIONAL translator.

Now if someone contacts you, you can make them aware that your english is not that well and work with the presentation. It always helps to say that your english is not so well, so the customer is more willing to show a bit more patience with you. It is better than trying to answer questions, which you did not understand properly. That is very frustrating for the buyer and will most likely make him go somewhere else.

 

Another option would be to employ a good english speaking sales. :)

Let me tell you my tips.It is
1,practice
2,Practice
3,PRACTICE
Remember most of the businessmen you will meet are not Origin English.I do not think their English is much better than yours.

If you are talking about introduce your product in written english.I suggest you to use same brief charts,tables and pictures to state them to your customers.This is easier and more efficient.

Hi ,dear,take it easy .As my suggestion,you should make a plenty preparation.That means,you must familiar with your products,how to make it,what is the relevent matierials. What is more,how to  assembled the matierial into  products?

you can write the whole information down in chiness first. Then you can use the serch engin to serch the English form of all the relevent words. Recite and remeber them.when some kind of matierial you don't familiar with,you can ask your workmates for help or you can enter the matierial into alibaba,then you can find the item.

Also you shouldn't worry about the misunderstanding,when you  find the misunderstand took place,write to your customer freely and clear it.The customer won't care more about it if you show your sincerity and patience.

Best wishes to you.hope can help you some.

I think it doesn't matter, you should have confidence first and then speak out, or you can prepare thoroughly before introducing  your products to your potential clients. Besides, you can let them know by action, body language, changeable expression, and experiments to show your products'  superiority and characterisric to them.

Wish you good luck!

You can try to teach yourself English. Visit websites like, http://www.learnenglish.de/, where they can help you improve the language. You can also hire a writer who can help you make a catalog of your products so you will have an easier time showing people your company's capabilities. Goodluck!
