Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Americans raise against a supplier from Taiwan, and the answer to each one
You will secure the next US contract by understanding American customer concerns.
The moment it goes wrong
A US buyer asks about your factory's FDA compliance, and your sales team fumbles the answer. The conversation stops, trust erodes, and the potential order vanishes. This missed opportunity costs your company months of sales efforts and revenue.
What changes after this course
Your sales team will confidently address American customer objections about quality, compliance, and logistics. They will articulate clear, factual responses that build trust and close deals. You will receive a full training record for each participant, demonstrating their readiness for the US market.
How long it takes, by who is listening
Nobody spends a day in a classroom. Every module exists in three lengths; a person takes the length their role needs, and every length ends with the same recorded questionnaire, so the training record is complete either way.
| Who takes this course | Length | Total time |
|---|---|---|
| Business development and export sales | Briefing | 1 h |
| Owner, CEO and board | Briefing | 1 h |
What is in the course, module by module
6 modules. Under each title are the three things the listener can do afterwards; the audio itself runs 10 to 50 minutes depending on the length chosen. Each module ends with a multiple-choice questionnaire whose result is recorded per person for your auditor. Your human-resources or quality manager decides what counts as passed and when a level is retaken.
