I stared at the computer screen and refreshed the email page again. This has become my habit since I sent the quotation to the German customer last week. As a foreign trade salesperson, I know the torment brought by the jet lag too well - when we start the day's work in the morning light, the European customers have just fallen asleep.
With a "ding" sound, the new email notification sound refreshed me. The sender showed that it was Hans Smith, the purchasing manager of the German company.
As a professional commerical inflatable amusement equipment manufacturer, we have been engaged in the field of international trade for 10 years. We attach great importance to product inquiries from German customers. Our design team immediately contacted the customer, learned about the customer's needs in detail, provided the customer with a 3D effect model, and designed a unique inflatable slide.
This product takes pirates as the core element to create a story-like scene. Combining the slide with the climbing frame not only satisfies the sliding fun, but also provides physical challenges, and realizes a dynamic and static game experience.
This animal inflatable slide is very safe: Active safety protection: Through full rounded edges, multi-point fixed anchors and buffer materials, a three-dimensional protection mechanism is formed to reduce the risk of collision.
"Dear Susi, thank you for your quotation. We are very interested in your company's inflatable dry slides, especially the "pirate ship one". But we need to confirm a few details: first, the safety certification of the materials, and second, the maximum load-bearing capacity."
In the next two weeks, Hans and I exchanged dozens of emails. From material thickness to seam technology, from packaging size to transportation method, every detail must be confirmed repeatedly. Sometimes because of the time difference, I have to get up in the middle of the night to reply to emails. My mom always says that I work too hard, but I know that only by working harder than others can I win opportunities in this highly competitive industry.
Finally, on a sunny morning, I received the long-awaited PO (purchase order). But before I had time to be happy, new challenges came one after another. The production department told me that the orange material was insufficient in stock, and it would take at least two weeks for the supplier to replenish it.
During the production process, I went to the workshop almost every day to check the progress. Watching the huge inflatable water slide take shape little by little in the hands of the workers, my heart was hanging. I asked the quality inspectors to be extra careful with every seam and every reinforcement. Because I know that this is not only a product, but also a symbol of our company's reputation.
One month later, I was awakened by the ringing of my cell phone in the early morning. It was a long-distance call from Hans, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat.
"Susi," he said with a smile in his voice, "I must say that your product exceeded our expectations. Not only is the quality impeccable, but the installation instructions are also very clear. Our tester said that this is the most exciting inflatable water slide he has ever seen!"
"By the way," Hans continued, "we need three sets of inflatable water slides of different styles next quarter. I wonder if you can..."
