I am going to interview as a merchandiser in a textile factory tomorrow. Can you tell me what a merchandiser mainly does?

It is estimated that this factory is mainly for export, that is, processing for foreign manufacturers, so it needs merchandisers who have passed CET-4 in English. So, this is the external work content of the foreign trade merchandiser:

1. Processing customer orders, shipments, etc. This is the hardest job, that is, after the foreign trade salesman receives the order, he throws the order to You need to provide the rest of the details such as what goods to order, model, color, size, etc., as well as packing requirements, delivery time, logistics (i.e. which terminal to send to, mainly depends on whether it is FOB or on-board). (shore price), etc. are all implemented in place, and there can be no mistakes in the process. Otherwise, foreigners will not have to negotiate compensation with you, and they, including your boss, will not listen to your explanation.

2. Confirm the payment. To put it simply, to get the money, this requires communication with the customer, and of course it also requires cooperation between you and your business.

3. Handle customer objections. Some customers will call you directly to talk to you about the business situation, and they will also raise objections. You must learn to deal with them, which depends on your communication skills. The basic condition is that your spoken English must be passed, otherwise no matter how strong you are, your work will be in vain.

Internal work:

1. Handle the production status of the order with the factory, such as order progress, quality and many other trivial matters;

2. For you Your boss or your leader processes text and sends faxes, such as monthly work reports, plans, programs, etc. You need to be very proficient in EXCEL and WORD. Sometimes you also need POWERPOINT to receive your customers' visits.

3. Help them with things other than your job. Many businesses and bosses just throw away the paper, say something, or call you, hoping that you will get everything done. In addition, sometimes you are asked to help with personal chores such as paying phone bills and so on.

Normally speaking, a follower will be responsible for more than 30 customers, so it is quite busy to find this person today and that person tomorrow, especially in factories, where some things are even more complicated if the management is not in place. , I often have to work overtime, so I am quite tired.

As for the salary situation: In Guangdong, non-foreign trade orders are mostly around 1,500-3,000. 1,500 is the starting price for college graduates. Sometimes if your ability is not good enough, the company may only be willing to pay 1,000 or 1,200. I will slowly add them to you when you become proficient. A larger company may start from 1800-2000, and the larger or famous multinational company will have more than 3000. For foreign trade, it should be around 2000-4000. Because you have just graduated, if you are capable, people may give you 2,000, otherwise it will be 1,500. Most factories include food and accommodation, so 1,500 is relatively good, because you don't have to pay extra for food and accommodation.

So when you write the salary requirements, if it is a large factory, you should write more than 2,000, and for a small and medium-sized factory, write more than 1,500. After you have been proficient for half a year, when everyone thinks you are great, You can apply for a salary increase of 500. Add it up slowly, but be realistic. There are too many graduates now, and it is not easy to find a salary of more than 3,000. As your ability improves, your salary will also rise. Our company's domestic trade orders are only about 2,000-3,000, and foreign trade is about 2,500-3,500. Our company is already a leading company in this industry.

You are lucky enough to have met an expert like me. You should be satisfied with this answer. Hard work will pay off, come on.
