26、exporting goods or services for the first time?l Cultural differences l Professional adviceWhen exporting goods or services for the first time ,it is very important to consider cultural differences.

27、ds for goods or services. In order to cater to the tastes and needs of people in foreign countries, a company should take cultural differences into consideration when exporting goods or services for the first time. Otherwise, the goods or services wont sell well.Professional advice is also important
28、. Since the company has never done international business before, it may lack experience of exporting goods or services.

29、 firm which can provide great assistance in selling goods or services to foreign countries.Whats important when dealing with complaints from clients?l Offering an apologyl suggest a solution to the problemOffering an apology is the very basic level.

30、air treatments, the first thing that the company should do is to calm them down and try to keep the client. An apology is the first step and a useful method to maintain control of the situation. Offering an apology is an important gesture to show that the hosting company is fully aware of the situat
31、ion and would like to take the potential responsibility for its mistakes. The complaining clients would feel that their complaints are being paid attention and may therefore be happy to proceed to the transaction with the hosting company. It is necessary to suggest a solution to the problem as well.
32、 The clients want to enter into the transaction in a good mood and with a reliable and trustworthy business partner. Apart from an apology, the client would want to have the problems and misunderstanding solved before their communication moves to the next level. If the hosting company failed or refu
33、sed to suggest a solution, its sincerity of entering into the transaction would be put into doubt.What is important when setting prices for new products?l Production costsl Competitors pricesl Demandl QualityThe first thing we must take into account is Production costs when setting prices for new pr
34、oducts. Prices should cover the costs, such as insurance, raw materials, rent and equipment. Otherwise, the company will make a loss.Competitors prices: If we sell our products at a lower price than our competitors, we can seize a large market share quickly. Then, large sales volume can help our com
35、pany reduce production costs and achieve higher profits.Demand需求: When demand is strong, we can set high prices. When demand is weak, we can set lower price. Firms must estimate the quantities of a product that consumers will demand and then set the price for the new product.Quality质量: If the new pr
36、oducts are of better quality and can perform more functions than competitors, then the prices can be high.What is important when aiming to reduce staff turnover?l Financial incentivesl career structurel Pleasing work environment l flexible working hoursl trainingFirstly, financial incentives are imp

40、e of life and work.

It is most likely that the
41、y change their job in order to get a better payment. Therefore, if the company raises the salary of the staff, I think many of the staff will stay with their job. Besides, it can encourage people who work hard and set a goal for those who wont.Career structure (Opportunities for future promotion): E
42、mployees will remain with their current employer if career opportunities are presented. Career plans for those who want to move upward in the company undoubtedly improve morale and boost engagement.Pleasing work environment: A pleasing workplace includes everything from having the right tools available to provide basic comfort, such as proper lighting and noise control, etc. By creating a work environment that allows for flexibility, growth and development, you promote loyalty among good employees and build their commitment.Flexible benefits, Further study or training【精品文档】
