What are the biggest challenges that Vietnamese marketing staff face when trying to find new export customers?

Imagine a factory in Vietnam with 500 workers that produces 200,000 products per month and they are struggling to find new customers. Their solution is to hire Vietnamese marketing staff to find foreign customers. What are the biggest challenges they will face when trying to find new export customers?

My friends and I talk about this a lot and work together to connect buyers with factories.
Marketing Training in Vietnam

Marketing Challenges Vietnamese Factories Face

  • The target customer is not clearly defined
  • The customer needs a certified factory
  • The factory's branding message is not clear
  • The customer is afraid to work in Vietnam because of Vietnam's past
  • There is no free trade agreement that helps the customer get a lower price
  • The factory is using the wrong marketing channel to find their customer
  • The raw materials that the customer needs, are not available in Vietnam
  • The factory's service or product is not clear
  • Their marketing campaigns are not targeting the right customer
  • Communication with the customer breaks down due to language and culture

I recommend using LinkedIn


linkedin
LinkedIn is the worlds largest professional network in the world with 610+ million users in more than 200 countries. Your target customer is there!

Vietnamese marketing staff working for export factories face three main challenges. The first is marketing in the wrong channels. For example, marketing on Facebook is not the right place to find export customers. The second challenge is that they can not easily get the customer's email or phone number. For example, they want to produce for Nike and they know the name of the person at Nike but they don't have their email or phone number. The third reason is that even when they do have the email or phone number, they don't know how to communicate well to explain their factory strength and listen to the customers needs. Their English level is not advanced enough to listen to the customers' concerns and convince the customer to place an order.

For the last 8 years I have been finding new customers for Thai Son sewing factory using LinkedIn and now I'd like to teach you how to do it.

If I knew the best marketing channel to find your customers
If I knew how to get their email and phone number
If I could train your staff to communicate effectively in English to get new customers
Then would you be interested to hear about my LinkedIn marketing strategy?

It is not easy and there is daily work that needs to be done. Follow my instructions, remember what I teach you and spend at least one hour a day on LinkedIn and you will find new customers.
