China Technical Sales Support is a Great Value
Have Distributors in China, but they are not very knowledgeable about your product? We recruit China Technical Sales Support for our customers. It is a very niche type of position.
Sometimes this person needs to be able to not only have deep technical knowledge in your field, but also need to be able to make the sale. Other cases they need to have good coaching ability to get distributors on line with the right thinking to find and explain to customers. In yet other cases, they simply travel with distributors for technical demonstrations or other deeper product issues.
In most cases, some combination of all these needs come together. Because this position usually does not have a strong career path, and further does not have any local oversight, it is a very special placement. They are usually unique and that helps energize my recruiters.
Finding Proper China Technical Sales Support is Not Easy
Many good people will just say no. So finding someone suitable who also can do this responsibly with no local oversight is not easy. Most recruiters will not give you all you need on this problem. This is especially true as this placement is likely to be a one off.
