BY RENAUD ANJORAN
Global Sources invited me to speak to a group of suppliers in Foshan, a few weeks ago.
Most Chinese exporters try to push their products in the hands of anybody who will pay… And that’s a big mistake on their part. They need to identify what their “ideal customer” looks like, and then avoid selling to customers that have a very different profile. Relevant articles
Here is what I told them.
—
There are different types of customers:
- Some want basic products, with the lowest price;
- Some want quality and responsiveness first;
- Some want the ability to order small quantities, with a quick turnaround time;
- Some want strong engineering/design capabilities, to develop complex/creative new products;
- And so on.
A big mistake to avoid: if you try to appeal to all types of customers, you appeal to no one.
How to find your ideal customer?
1. Look at your current customers, and try to identify three of them that share these characteristics:
- They are happy about your offer (quality, lead times, product mix…);
- Your pricing is OK for them;
- You have kept them for at least 2 years, or you think you will keep them for a long time.
(Don’t think of your biggest customers. Just your best customers. If you find a lot of them, you will be doing great business.)
2. Look for commonalities:
- Do they come from the same country?
- Do they have the same type of business (e.g. retail chains, or internet sellers…)?
- Do they develop new products with you, or do they expect you to propose designs?
- And so on.
If two of these three customers share several characteristics, that’s your “ideal customer profile”.
3. What are your ideal customers looking for?
There are other importers like them. You need them to find you!
So the two questions to ask are:
- How have they found you? (If they use mostly one channel, focus more on that channel.)
- What do they value in you? Why are they happy with you? (To find similar customers, you will need to show in an obvious manner that you can offer these advantages.)
For example: they might be happy to work with you because:
- You are the right size (about 300 employees);
- They are a third-party seller on Amazon, and you offer the right product at the right quality level and at the right price for that marketing channel;
- You have enough designs in your showroom for them to find something suitable to their needs;
- They have direct contact with the sales manager when there is something sensitive to discuss;
- They don’t care whether you are a trading company or a manufacturer;
- You genuinely make efforts when a deadline is tight.
Here are a few other examples of such targets:
- Customers that want to buy standard items but want a lot of choice;
- Customers that want to develop complex new products;
- Customers that are looking for a very experienced manufacturer with good & quick communication.
So, how to focus on your company’s natural strengths?
Advice for manufacturers
Most buyers think this way:
- If we work with a supplier that is too large relative to our orders, we will be quoted high prices and given poor service.
- If we work with a small supplier that cannot produce the quantities we order, they will be forced to subcontract production and we will probably be in for a disaster.
If you are small: emphasize arguments such as “quick reaction”, “management cares about every order”, or “small orders accepted”.
If you are big: mention your famous customers, your number of engineers, or your certifications. But also show videos of your factory, if it is very well organized.
Advice for trading companies
Most buyers think this:
“If a supplier shows a very wide range of products, it means they are a trading company.”
At the beginning, it is very important to FOCUS on one product category and one factory. It will help you have a higher success rate on customer inquiries:
- Faster response from factory;
- Better product expertise from salesperson.
On a trade show, show only 1 type of product (the one you really want to push). You can also have a thin catalogue with complementary products, and explain that you buy them from other factories you know well.

What other piece of advice would you give Chinese suppliers?

Following a noticeable rise in bunker quality problems across the world in the last month, Bunkerspot speaks to Veritas Petroleum Services’ Group Commercial & Business Development Director, Steve Bee, to discuss some of the issues the fuel testing agency has encountered.
Last week, Fuel Oil Bunkering Analysis and Advisory Service (FOBAS) highlighted problems at Galveston and nearby US Gulf ports relating to RMG 380 grade. Further testing suggested the presence of certain fatty acids, which the Lloyd’s Register (LR) subsidiary said ‘should not be present in marine fuels’ and have been linked to sticking and damaged fuel pump components in the past.
This observation was shared by fuel testing agency V-P-S. Last week, the company issued a bunker alert for the ports of Houston and Corpus Christi relating to sediment and high acid issues.
‘It is without a doubt a key concern,’ says Group Commercial & Business Development Director, Steve Bee.
According to Bee, over the first four months of 2018, there have been nine Americas-related VPS bunker alerts of which seven relate to the United States.
‘We have seen contamination cases in Houston,’ says Bee. ‘There have been numerous cases of sludging within fuel in the Gulf.
This issue, says Bee, has been ongoing for approximately one month. Accordingly, VPS is currently conducting a research programme aimed at establishing the root cause of the issue. The company is carrying out a suite of forensic analytical tests in order to identify the contaminants.
‘There’s a whole range of things that we’re looking at,’ says Bee.
Recent fuel quality issues, however, have not been exclusive to the US Gulf region. Bunkerspot has learned of fuel quality issues relating to viscosity and density in the Mediterranean while in Singapore there have also been reports of an increase in off-spec bunkers, which in turn has bumped up the price of heavy fuel oil (HFO) 380 centistoke (cSt) at the global bunker hub. (BPI data shows that between 18 April and 30 April, the price of HFO 380 cSt rose 7%, from $392 per metric tonne (mt) to $420 per mt.)
In 2018, VPS has issued four bunker alerts relating to Asia, Middle East and Africa, three of which have involved residual bunker fuel. According to Bee, these three are connected to catalytic (cat) fines. For the cases involving distillate fuel, the main issues have been issues related to flashpoint.
‘[This suggests] that marine gas oil is probably being blended with more volatile material,’ says Bee.
‘It is too early to identify the source of the problem, but its certainly not related to any single supplier. I’m sure we will get to the bottom of it in the next couple of weeks.’

BY RENAUD ANJORAN
A few months ago, I wrote a list of testing labs that has proven helpful to many importers.
Today I want to give a bit of perspective on the different categories of laboratories. Let’s start with the ones you have probably heard of.
1. The big third-party laboratories
Who hasn’t heard of Bureau Veritas, SGS, Intertek, or TUV Rheinland?
Their consumer testing divisions tend to focus on big retailers and on the importers that sell to these retail chains.
They are the best option in these cases:
- New regulations just came out, and you need to talk to an expert and put a program in place.
- You need to certify products that might cause safety hazards. If someone dies because of your product, you want to be able to show a very famous lab’s logo on a report.
They tend to be focused on their big accounts, and not to be well organized to deal with small clients. Often it is hard to find a human being to talk to, let alone get responses to specific questions!
2. Midsize international labs
Midsize testing labs are often better suited to the needs of SMEs.
They usually have the latest equipment, and most of their technical staff comes from the bigger labs. But their product range is more limited.
Here is what Stefan Droste, from Hohenstein Laboratories, wrote to me:
I like to say, that in a small lab I know ALL the time where which sample is and therefore I am able to push a sample, remember if there was something unusual and so on. If you are a small account in one of the big ones your success rate to achieve that will be zero. All in all, the customer service is more direct if you contact a small company, compared to the big labs. In addition I like the high identification of the staff to the lab, they will simply go the extra mile for you, even if you are a small customer. They will call you if something is odd on the sample plan and so on. This extra level of service will be not as cheap (economy of scale…) though.
3. Local laboratories
In China there are many fully accredited Chinese-owned (sometimes government-owned) laboratories.
Their main advantage is their very low price, even though they might have all the latest equipment.
The downside is their low service level (in terms of providing advice), and sometimes their lack of reliability. I heard several horror stories where the lab would not really do the test, or might not respect the required preparation before the test.
4. Informal labs in client offices
Many importers, when they have a quality office and have reached a certain size, start to buy simple equipment and do the most frequent tests by themselves.
For example: an importer of textile products would purchase a washing machine and a drier, the device to cut & weigh fabrics, and so on.
The turnaround time is much shorter, since they often don’t respect the time for preparing samples as per the relevant standard. And costs are typically lower.
Hopefully, someone in their organization is more or less aware of their lack of accuracy. That’s fine if all they want is avoiding big problems. When a result is in the “grey area”, they should send samples to a third-party lab to get a more precise evaluation.
5. Internal labs of big factories
Most large manufacturers have their own internal laboratory — I have been impressed by the professionalism of a few that I have visited. Many midsize factories also have a lab.
In the best case,you (or an inspector you appoint) go to the factory and get access to such an internal lab, with assistance from one of their technicians. You get to run most of the applicable tests for free, if you have enough time!
Pay attention to the calibration of the testing equipment, though. It would be easy for a supplier to make its products perform better than they should in such a setting…
