The same question i am waiting for the answer!

asian firms need to get away from the use of "agents" who work on commissin and are not loyal.  foreign firms must set up shop here, and develop roots in our soil.

the only way you will truly succeed is to adapt the model of Honda and Toyota.

build and buy scrap yards here, hire locals, and give performance incentives tied to longevity and building long term value.  very few people here trust agents.

Hi,agent is more competitive in China nowaday, agents will need to be very loyal to his buyers, and buyers will trust his agent.

Thanks for your instructions.

A trading agent varies from coast to coast I believe.  Therefore, I will comment only what it is like as an agent in the west coast region. 

 

 

 

The competition is very strong, harsh and ferocious.  One must always keep searching and never cease looking for the proper representation of buyer and seller.  The agent can never think they have made an everlasting relationship.  People change, products change and more importantly price changes.  Do not become complacent. 

 

 

 

Just looking at the highly dynamic global economy and the flux within each element of commerce and you wonder why you want to be the most competitive agent.  It is exciting and yet daunting but there is truly opportunity. 

 

 

 

Therefore, my conclusion is that each of us has a niche service that we provide, a skill that is awarded with a monetary and peer value that keeps the drive within us alive. 

 

 

 

My Alibaba community is one that I want to assist my fellow colleagues with resources that helped me because time, effort and personal relationship building is the reason I am in the business. 

Hope this helps

Quoting from [TomBow]:

I have not been a trade agent very long, but I believe my success has come from presenting myself as local. I am in the Detroit area and do business within roughly a 500 kilometer area. I target my Internet advertising into this small geographic space. I have found most customers prefer doing business with someone that is close to them. Even though I rarely meet my clients face to face it gives them more comfort to know they can come see me, or I can come to them if there is ever a reason to do so. A big part of selling is building trust with the client. Being close helps establish a level of trust.

I think it is practicial experience let us to learn
