How many foreign traders can do customer analysis now, and how many foreign traders are willing to do customer analysis in advance before developing? Perhaps the practice of many foreign traders is to choose to find the contact information of the enterprise on Google and send a large number of development letters directly, and send the same development letter to multiple customers at the same time. Next, let's discuss the role of customer analysis in developing customers.

1. What is customer analysis

The so-called customer analysis is to understand customer needs, analyze customer characteristics, and evaluate customer value based on various information and data about customers, so as to formulate corresponding marketing strategies and resource allocation plans for customers.

2. At the same time, you can find competitors and potential customers in the same industry from customs data, analyze the advantages of competitors' products, understand customers' needs and psychological prices, and know yourself and your enemy.

3. After you have a certain understanding of the target customer, you will be more targeted and sincere when writing a development letter. First of all, you can base it on the title and content. You work hard to understand the target customer, because you have analyzed and you understand his needs, so you can attract the other party's attention in terms of title and content.

4. In terms of content, express the advantages of your own company and products purposefully, focusing on what you can bring to the other party based on the pain points and needs of the other party, with concise and refined expressions. Attract the other party's attention and reply to you, then you are half successful, and the rest is to follow up the needs and communicate.

Finally, I wish everyone success in negotiating orders!
