Things to note when doing business with Singaporean customers
(1) For Singaporean customers, the most important thing is quality. Since Singapore is a port trading country, many Singaporean customers import goods from China and then resell them to other countries. Therefore, in practice, they like to find reliable suppliers to supply them with goods for a long time. The size of the partner is not important, the key is to have a good reputation.
(2) Regardless of the size of the order, in order to inspect the quality of the seller, Singaporean customers are usually willing to fly to inspect it in person.
(3) Singaporean customers are very cautious when signing contracts. Salespeople must be patient when signing contracts with Singaporean customers. As for the details of the contract terms, Singaporean customers generally do not nitpick.
