Establishing Business Relations
建立業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系
Brief Introduction
建立業(yè)務(wù)關(guān)系,實(shí)際上就是確定貿(mào)易對(duì)象。貿(mào)易對(duì)象選擇得合適與否,決定著貿(mào)易的成敗。在一般情況下,雙方通過(guò)各自的介紹或第三者的介紹,先摸清對(duì)方的資金信用、經(jīng)營(yíng)能力和業(yè)務(wù)范圍等重要條件,然后再進(jìn)行實(shí)質(zhì)性的業(yè)務(wù)商討。貿(mào)易雙方只有在相互了解、彼此信賴(lài)的基礎(chǔ)上,才能進(jìn)行積極地合作,并使雙方貿(mào)易活動(dòng)得以順利地開(kāi)展。
