Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Chinese buyers raise against a supplier from Brazil and Latin America, and the answer to each one
Your next deal with a Chinese buyer will close successfully without unexpected silence.
The moment it goes wrong
A promising negotiation with a Chinese pharmaceutical buyer stalls, and you don't know why. Key questions go unanswered, leading to extended delays or lost contracts. This costs your company significant revenue and market expansion opportunities in a critical region.
What changes after this course
After this course, your team will confidently address common Chinese buyer objections. They will understand the cultural nuances and regulatory expectations that often cause friction. You will receive a training record and certificates for each participant, documenting their readiness for these crucial interactions.
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.
