外贸实战指南：从基础到客户开发的全面策略
为什么看了那么多干货却依然做不好外贸？
Why do you still struggle with foreign trade despite reading so many guides?
那些干货只是作为一个辅助，最重要的还是要提高自身能力：
Those guides are just supplementary - the key is to improve your core competencies:
1. 深入了解产品
1. Deep Product Knowledge
了解所在公司的产品、报价和趋势。很多新人急于开发客户却忽略了基础，结果连送上门的客户都把握不住。价格谈判策略的制定取决于你对产品的清晰认知。
Understand your company's products, pricing and trends. Many beginners rush to find clients but neglect fundamentals, failing to close even ready-made opportunities. Effective pricing strategies stem from thorough product understanding.
2. 掌握外贸流程和技能
2. Master Trade Processes and Skills
英语能力至关重要，优秀的外贸业务员能写出高质量邮件并流畅沟通。同时要持续积累外贸术语和流程知识。
English proficiency is crucial. Top salespeople can craft high-quality emails and communicate fluently. Continuously accumulate knowledge of trade terms and procedures.
3. 培养沟通能力
3. Develop Communication Skills
无论是内部协作还是客户开发，沟通能力都直接影响业务成果。即使掌握所有外贸知识，若无法有效表达也是徒劳。
Communication skills directly impact business outcomes, whether for internal coordination or client development. All the trade knowledge is useless if you can't express it effectively.
