There is a popular saying now: make money to do foreign trade.

Needless to say, the benefits of doing foreign trade.

Let's talk about an interesting phenomenon first: most of the orders received by many mechanical processing plants are foreign trade orders, but they cry all day that they can do foreign trade.

The main reason for this phenomenon is that there is no fixed product.

Therefore, many mechanical processing plants have a goal, hoping to have their own products after a period of time, and then they can really do their own foreign trade.

But as far as machining foreign trade lists is concerned, there are still many lists that need pure machining.

Originally, I also planned to confirm a product and then do it. But now I don't think it's necessary. The analysis is as follows:

1. We have been engaged in machining for more than ten years and have rich experience in machining. If we make products, we won't use them all. This is a waste of technology.

According to the actual situation of processing, the factory has added a lot of equipment and special tools suitable for processing, but if these are used as products, some of them are redundant and some need to be added. This is a waste of equipment.

3. At present, there are many cooperative units, such as surface treatment units. And many of them are not used to make products. This is a waste of resources.

Now employees have rich experience in machining and can deal with different problems. If they make a single product, it will also cause a waste of talents.

However, the problem facing the machinery processing industry now is low profit. A big reason is whether to cooperate directly with foreign businessmen. To put it bluntly, if the machinery processing factory can bypass the foreign trade company, the profit is still considerable.

So, why don't we do mechanical processing and try to do foreign trade directly by ourselves?

Through my own practice, I analyzed some wrong views on our machinery factory:

1. does not have its own website. Many people who do mechanical processing think they don't need a website because there are no fixed products. This is actually a wrong view. To do foreign trade, you should have your own website and make it beautiful. You can put some of your own equipment, processing capacity, products you have made and so on.

2. Don't have your own product brochure. What are you doing without products? In fact, the main purpose of making a brochure is to tell customers what I can offer you. It is not necessarily a product, it can be a service, it can also be a kind of information, and it can even be an idea. Then machining can tell others what I can do for you!

3. There is no special salesman. Generally, the mechanical processing factory is a salesman by the boss himself, relying on some relationships or running around to do some business by himself. It's hard to be big. If you want to be big or do foreign trade, you definitely need your own salesman!

4. Insufficient quality control. Those who do mechanical processing, unlike those who do specialized products, have special quality control to track product quality. So it is necessary to spend some time on quality inspection.

Personally, I think we can do a good job in foreign trade through processing, and as far as the current situation is concerned, the market is still very large. Therefore, I want to use Ali's platform to discuss with you.

Netizen: discuss step by step-how to do foreign trade in mechanical processing industry

I still don't understand. I have been machining for almost 8 years, and I have never known where the way out is. Anyway, it's a customer by the car, doing a little business and making a living.

Not good, not bad. But I always feel that there should be another more reasonable way to survive in machining, but I haven't thought of it yet. Maybe it is foreign trade. We take orders directly and don't do second-hand business, so the profit will be higher, but when we do processing, we only make some products, not a complete series. Is it easy to take orders? Please feel free to give us your suggestions.
