A common Misconception about China!

[yctp]

There seems to be a common misconception that one can simply buy any branded product directly from China; I have to tell you that in most cases this simply isn't true.

If you wish to buy the product you want, you will have to go through an authorised dealer or distributor in your own country.

Although a large majority of hi-tech toys, gadgets, and games are produced here in China; they are produced to be legally exported to traders and dealers who have sole right of distribution in your country, or their other respective countries - not to be sold freely from China to anyone who wants them.

Consequently, the only thing you will find here is knock-offs – FAKES.

So, all I can say to you is, that unless you can find those legal distributors in your own country, through a request to the parent company, or producer, then I'm afraid you will only ever be cheated.

That will occur in one of two ways:

1. They’ll just take your money.

2. They’ll send you fakes of either very good to crap, in terms of quality.

Is this sinking in yet?

Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t buy from China.

It just means that you will have to forgo the famous brands, and choose some of the excellent, high-quality, OTHER brands – or no-name brands to you; and which are available for legal export to your country, and for which you can get very good deals and make a decent mark-up when you sell them.

Customers don’t want them?

Then buy some anyway, and TEACH your customers to want them.

That’s how brand names became brand names – and that’s how a true salesperson works.

It seems that the art of SELLING has been forgotten and replaced by the lesser art of TRYING TO MEET DEMAND.

Don't try to meet demands - try and educate clients and GENERATE NEW DEMANDS.

It used to be called - BREAKING A NEW MARKET.

Responding to demand is easy - breaking a new market, and REALLY selling, is a skill.

I hope I've FINALLY made this clear.
