11. Special Charasterics of Asian Markets
• There is no one homogenous Asian market – analyze and select the right
markets for your company and products
• There is one common feature in all Asian markets: the Chinese business
culture – it’s not what you know but who you know – invest to establish and
maintain your personal contact network, Guanxi
• There are a lot of so called “opportunistic” trading houses, which are eagerly
looking for principals and suppliers from all over the world for example at trade
fairs
– It is not a big challenge to find a sales channel representative for any
company – the real challenge is to get business going
• Often the channel partners would like to represent your products in several
markets in Asia. Watch out as this has very seldom proved to be successful
• Verify your partners’ Guanxi
• There are also several Finnish (and European) channel partners available –
easy and safe option perhaps, but how does your end customer value them
compared to truly local companies?
• Asia is full of trading houses whose main sales argument is the price – it is
challenging to find partners capable for value selling
