Do you shake hands and smile?

Everyone is aware there are huge differences between Chinese and British culture and this extends to business culture too.  It can be difficult to negotiate with a counterpart if you do not know the rules they are following.  Indeed it could be difficult to make it to the negotiation table if you insult your Chinese counterpart by giving the wrong gift, such as a clock.

Our team has many years of experience with doing business in China and can give you and your company valuable information on how to do business and negotiate effectively with Chinese businesspeople.

Our consultants are available to come along to your place of work or an appropriate place nearby to give seminars on Chinese business culture.  We also offer telephone support to the those who have taken part in our seminars.

 

 
During the present global downturn we believe it is now more important than ever for small and medium sized enterprises to look towards the global market.  Qin services are here to help.
   
On a recent trip to Beijing I was fortunate enough to be asked to attend a meeting with one of Chinas largest distributors.  I still get a thrill from the huge difference in the way the Chinese conduct formal meetings.  I was even more thrilled when my wife and I were asked by the sales director to accompany him and his wife on a day trip to Luo Chang Gorge.  It must be one of the most spectacular places to bungee jump in the world. - Simon Marsh
