How fast it goes!

Oct 1,2009 is the 60th Anniversary of China. There was a spectacular parade in Beijing. About 200,000 people participated it. It reviewed the achievement of China for the last 60 years. Actually, China developed very fast during the last 20 years. That because the government issued a lot of policies which are encourage economic development. 'Open window' is a typic policy which introduct foreign capital. It encourages foreign tradesman to set up companies in China. There are many preferential for them. After that a lot of Joint Venture companies operated in China. It spured the economic development, solved the allocation of labor, and brought higher level of marketing theory. Also there are lots of preferential tariff policy attracted foreign investment.
Just 20 years, Chinese economy took a huge changes. Many people suprised it. It is incrediable. I think the most important thing is open the door to the world. To communicate and learn the advence science and technology each other, enchange the experience to achieve a win-win situation.

I learnt from the International Festival.

There was an International Festival in Bowling Green downtown yesterday. Every country had a table to show their culture and sell traditional souvenirs. As a volunteer, I help Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) to sell the souvenirs.

During the day, I got a lot of experience of selling: firstly, as a seller, you must understand what the customers' desire. You must analyse the psychology of comsumers. Secondly, confidence is very important as a seller. You must introduce the productions with passion and confidence. Thirdly, you can use selling skills to communicate with the comsumers. You can ask questions to customers, praise their dress or jewerly, and so on. During talking, you can get the information from customers. Then you will know what the customers interested. What kinds of the souvenirs they want. Sometimes, you need to show how does the productions use for even though you know they won't buy. Bucause usually consumers buy something which they do not really want. They buy just because they are interested your production at that moment. So sellers' introduction and explain is very important.

Under such slow economic environment, the successful selling should mostly depend on the sellers' skills. I talked with customers and explained them Chinese culture. They were very interested them. After they knew what the souvenir means, they bought it. I was very enjoyed the selling day.
