Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Chinese buyers raise against a supplier from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Vietnam, and the answer to each one
Your next China deal depends on understanding their unspoken concerns.
The moment it goes wrong
The Chinese buyer goes silent after your proposal, and you do not know why. You lose weeks of follow-up time, and then the deal. This costs your company significant revenue and market share in a critical region.
What changes after this course
Your sales team will confidently address specific concerns about quality and delivery. They will speak directly to Chinese regulatory expectations like NMPA requirements. You will receive a training record for each participant, documenting their successful completion of the course.
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.
