What’s the Chinese view of American exports?

Chinese companies and the Chinese people have great respect for American products that are durable and made with care. They don’t have to be luxury items. A friend of mine told me that increasingly his company is selling baby milk powder to China. Because they had a scare with bad baby formula, Chinese consumers who have the extra $5 would rather buy imported formula, and a lot more of them have that extra money than they used to.

If you need answers to questions and special insight on maximizing LinkedIn then you need this book.

This book is a required resource for LinkedIn users looking to move up to the next level and beyond.” July 1, 2009 Steve Coscia – Customer Service Expert

Or: becoming more interesting by becoming more interested.

It’s more important than ever knowing how to connect most effectively with others. After all, how will you find your next client or key connection? Successful business people understand how to develop relationships that keep their sales pipeline full, strengthen existing relationships, and provide exceptional customer service.

No boring Powerpoint…just a fully interactive, entertaining conversation answering your questions about improving your networking ability. You will leave with (and even practice) some new ideas and immediately useful skills, that will enable you to connect more effectively and strongly with others, whatever your interests. To top it off you will meet some great people standing right next to you…and a few that are across the room.
