Three reasons why you should stop to meet those only want to meet without a real business intention

Too often, you’re asked to visit when foreigners are coming to your country. Sometimes you’re confused as to why they want to see without an explicit explanation. First, they didn’t tell you why; second, they said they just want to visit. Is that for personal or for business, you’re not sure.

First, if those guys have a genuine business intention, they should have already told you before their visit. You must negotiate together for more than twice the time on price and discuss the product itself even longer. They should also tell you their business schedule rather than suddenly give you a surprise, tell you that they want to meet you when you’re busy with important things, and run a busy business schedule. If their visit is for personal reasons, you should ask for leave. However, suppose those individuals simply want to visit your company for personal reasons and provide fabricated lies about their interest in your product. In that case, you should consider whether your company can accept them.

Second, how could a real client visit your company without knowing what they want to buy? Or, they may not even mention the price. After their visit, you may encounter various fabricated claims, such as that your price is high or that they have not yet confirmed the order with their client.

Third, are those guys respecting you? Are they serious about business? You won’t believe that you spent all day with them and finally couldn’t close any business. You should be aware that you’re spending your working time, not on holiday. Are those guys respecting your time? Or are you to be utilized to pay their bills and act as their free local guide?
