How to evaluate the strength of importers and Amazon agents: a detailed guide
In the process of choosing to cooperate with an importer or Amazon agent, it is crucial to understand and demonstrate the company’s strength. This article integrates how to demonstrate your own strength and how to evaluate the skills and performance of agency operating companies to help companies make informed decisions in a highly competitive market.
1. Use data and facts to demonstrate the strength of importers
1. Presentation of facts and figures
Showing the company’s potential strength through beautifully designed PPTs and promotional videos is an effective way to attract suppliers.
2. Display of human resources
Showing a professional import team and sales team will help demonstrate the company’s strength and enhance the trust of suppliers.
3. Detailed description of financial situation
Providing suppliers with financial reports from previous years, ensuring transparency, and committing to investment quotas or order quotas can demonstrate the sincerity of cooperation. In addition, suppliers are invited to make joint investments to further consolidate cooperative relationships.
4. Formulation of market expansion plan
Conducting market research on products to be represented and providing a complete marketing plan demonstrates the company’s market insight. Commitment to promote and sell the proposed agent products as the company’s flagship products will help attract suppliers.
5. Explain the deficiencies realistically
Honestly describe the company’s current shortcomings and the technical support or training needed to demonstrate expectations for future cooperation, while emphasizing that these challenges can be overcome through cooperation and strengthening the company’s ideal choice as a supplier to expand the market.
6. Pay attention to the details of negotiations
During the business negotiation process, detailed management such as venue, personnel coordination, clothing, business cards, and banquet venues cannot be ignored, as they can enhance the company’s image to a certain extent.
7. Playing the favor card
Strive to gain exclusive agency rights by improving relationships with suppliers through sincerity and personal charisma.
2. Evaluate the strength of Amazon operating companies
1. Refusal of Sales Guarantee
When choosing an operating company, companies need to be wary of contract terms that promise fixed sales. Because market changes are highly uncertain, such guarantees may often be unreliable.
2. Review sales forecast and profit analysis
Excellent agency operation companies will provide annual sales forecasts and profit analysis tables. These data can help brands judge the actual effects of operations and ensure that the agency operation company not only has what it says, but can actually implement it.
Through the above information and strategies, companies can better demonstrate their strength and make theoretically based judgments when selecting partners to achieve long-term cooperation and enhance market competitiveness.
