How To Sell The World – Advice on Selling Asia #177

In this episode we meet Karl Weaver, an international sales professional who is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to how to sell the world. Selling Asia is different than the USA . Europe too. In both cases, sales only happen once trust is built. In this episode Karl shares 7 ways to sell in a protectionist environment by a process of creating trust.

Advice on Selling Asia

We walked through a series of steps that in many ways, mirror enterprise sales in the United States:

1. Realize their goal is to compete with the West
2. Protect all you laptops and stored information
3. Learn the language or bring someone who can
4. Give a gift and something local like Almond Roca
5. Don't expect an immediate sale
6. Honor the exchange of business cards
7. Use social media like LinkedIn and WeChat

Advice on Selling Europe

Like Asia, European companies do not make pop decisions. They are more formal when approaching business transactions. The gesture of exchanging business cards is a good example. Like Asia, it's treated as an honor to both give and receive a business card.

Europe is interested in gaining trust before doing business. They want substance and don't make quick decisions.

Take Action Advice

Even if you lose a deal, keep working on the next one. It takes time to break in. Be patient. Share on social media you're value proposition. Over time relations will build for those who grind away.

Don't expect the immediate sale. Be in it for the long run. Don't close the door, keep going back and try again. Continue the good battle, sell, market and use social media why you're products are great.
