Courses › Sales skills, selling across cultures, and the objections per market
Objections Chinese buyers raise against a supplier from the United States, and the answer to each one
You can prevent the silence that kills your critical pharma deals with Chinese buyers.
The moment it goes wrong
Your sales team presents a great offer, but then a Chinese buyer raises a specific concern about your FDA compliance or data security. Without an immediate, confident answer, the conversation stops, and the deal cools. This costs your company significant revenue and a foothold in a vital market.
What changes after this course
Your team will confidently address specific Chinese buyer objections regarding quality, regulatory compliance, and supply chain reliability. They will know exactly what to say to move deals forward. You will hold a training record for your team and individual certificates of completion, demonstrating their expertise.
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.
