In today's foreign trade industry, customer development faces many severe challenges. Traditional customer acquisition methods are not only inefficient but also costly.
Take exhibitions, B2B platforms and email marketing as examples. Although exhibitions can directly contact customers, the input-output ratio is very low. Companies need to invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to participate in exhibitions, but the number of orders finally reached is often unsatisfactory. B2B platforms are flooded with junk inquiries, and companies need to spend a lot of time and energy to screen truly valuable inquiries, which undoubtedly increases the operating costs of companies. The response rate of email marketing is less than 1%, which means that most of the emails sent by companies fall into the sea and are difficult to get effective responses. According to statistics, the customer acquisition cost of foreign trade companies exceeds US$500 per order, and the conversion rate is only 1-3%. Such a low conversion rate and high cost make it difficult for companies to develop customers.
In addition to cost and efficiency issues, the difficulty of information screening is also a major pain point in foreign trade customer development. Customs data is complex and difficult to extract, and it is difficult for companies to find information related to their own business from massive amounts of data. Clues on social media are fragmented, manual analysis is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and prone to omissions and errors. These problems make it difficult for companies to accurately locate target customers during customer development, thus affecting their business development.
Customer acquisition methods | Accuracy | cost | efficiency |
---|---|---|---|
Traditional methods | 30% | Over 500 USD/order | Low |
AB customer AI model | 80% | Significantly reduced | high |
The AB customer AI model provides enterprises with more accurate customer information by integrating multi-dimensional data. Among them, customs data covers real-time import and export records of 80+ countries, just like an accurate "compass", which can help enterprises lock in the needs of real buyers. The global enterprise database has information on 230 million companies. Enterprises can accurately screen according to conditions such as industry, scale, and procurement frequency, just like accurately locating the target ship in the vast ocean. In addition, the social media dynamic capture function can monitor the dynamics of procurement decision makers on platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook in real time, allowing enterprises to keep abreast of customers' latest needs and intentions.
The AI intelligent analysis function of the AB customer AI model is like a smart "detective". It can generate customer portraits based on information such as purchasing history and social media behavior, predict customer needs, and provide customized follow-up strategies for enterprises. The intelligent marketing function provides enterprises with tools such as multilingual chat robots and personalized email templates, just like having a group of tireless "sales assistants" who can communicate between enterprises and customers 24 hours a day. At the same time, the system can also dynamically adjust marketing time and content to improve marketing effectiveness. In terms of process automation, the entire process from customer mining to the first email reach is driven by AI, which reduces the company's labor costs by 70% and greatly improves the company's operational efficiency.
Before using the AB customer AI model, a mechanical parts company had always faced difficulties in customer development. Through AB customer's customs data, the company successfully locked in Brazilian buyers. In order to ensure the authenticity of the information, the company verified it in combination with social media dynamics. Subsequently, AI generated a customized development letter for the company, accurately reaching the target customers. In just 3 months, the company developed 30 customers and eventually reached an order of 200,000.
A furniture foreign trade company used the screening function of AB Customer to find customers with high purchasing frequency. Through follow-up with intelligent emails and chatbots, the company added 50+ new potential customers every month, increased the transaction rate from the original 15% to 25%, and increased the conversion rate by 30%, achieving significant business growth.
AB Customer also provides competitor monitoring and market early warning functions. Enterprises can track the export dynamics of competing products in real time, understand market changes, and adjust quotation strategies in time to seize market opportunities.
For start-up teams, AB客's intelligent tools can help them achieve efficient customer management. For example, a college student entrepreneur used AB客's AI model to achieve a revenue of 3 million in half a year, proving AB客's strong ability to empower start-up teams.
