Pros and Cons of overseas sales
Sales are the core of business. Oversea sales, especially, faces numerous new challenges every time. However, the feeling of overcoming the obstacles and winning the contract is indescribable. Sometimes, I feel confused when facing those who envy me. I have to manage busier schedule than the domestic team members and have to adapt myself to unfamiliar local food and surroundings. It is not easy to explain such hardships to someone every time, and sometimes, I don’t think people believe my story.
Have your thoughts of the company changed after joining?
Honestly, I didn’t know much before joining the company. I decided to join ALPINION MEDICAL SYSTEMS due to strong recommendations from many acquaintances and people in this industry.

I’m sure that there will be bright tomorrow towards us.

Any word of advice to those who wish to participate in oversea sales?
One must speak English fluently and if you speak a third language, it is a big bonus. More importantly, one must think globally with an open mind. An attitude that fears no challenge is a must for an oversea sales expert.
