If within 6 months,I just got a samll order from one customer,it means I am not suitable in bussiness or it means I am foolish?
I am a Greehand in foreign trade,and I engage in foreign trade about 6 months,and during these months,I just got a small order from a customer,I was discouraged now and I think I am not clever enough or Maybe I am not suitable in bussiness,I found some people can do bussiness well,why I am so foolish,I want to cry.
Our factory without any paid website for me to get some inforamtions,I contacted with this customer from a free website.
6 months,just one order,I am foolish,right?
What your comments,my all friend here?

Replying to [Sunny Wu]:
Sunny,Don't be discouraged. At first it is very much a learning curve when you enter a new trade, and selling isn't an easy one.
Keep learning you products, do lots of reading of the forums for idea as well.
It gets easy as you gain more experience.

Replying to [Sunny Wu]: Dear Sunny, you are definitely not foolish. I understand how you feel as I was once like you, from frustration become doubtful of myself even though friends used to say I am of high calibre. When I first started my business, for months I knock against wall. Please do not give up or start looking for excuses.
Obtain more product knowledge on the related subject from many sources: internet, library, books and etc. You have made your first achievement, though it is a small order it is a good starting point.
Perservarance + knowledge = success.
Bear in mind, many billionaires start from scratch! You are young and I am sure you will one day, become a guru.
You are never a failure until you declare to be one.

i know many sales people who did not get any oders and the factory pays lots of money on adverts, you need some type of sales advert to bring in new customers, B2B or product shows, if not then the product must be good and your company can offer much to the customers, or you job will be little more hard.
Hit the web sites, open some free sites, get your company to buy some memberships for product sales, some for under $100 a year.
Vist trade shows, and make contact with many people, it take time i am sure, if you need help feel free to contact me.![[em17]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_shake_hands.gif)

1. Expand your presentation on internet, in different B2B marketplaces.
2. Update (renew daily) the promotion of your company and your products on the net.
a clear and attractive picture and detail specification are necessary.
3. Be sure that your prices are competitive (not necessarily lowest), quality acceptable, and other terms satisfactory. (pay much attention to the secure of payment, there are many frauds in business both domestic and abroad).
4. Study how other suppliers (especially your competitors) promote their products on the net.
5. Be serious and honest when communicate with potential customers.
6. Be reliable and responsible to your fault in business.
7. Self-confidence, patience and persistence are basic elements in business.
