You may think that conducting business with the apparel manufacturer in Thailand, or any foreign countries in fact, is easy, but from our experience we can say that is not a piece of cake. Apart from the differences in culture, language barrier and the different customs in communication, Thailand also has a different business culture as well as practice, which must be taken into consideration. To guarantee the healthy relationship with them, you need to bare these 4 rules in mind.
1. Communication
Communication plays an important role in managing strong connection with your clothing manufacturer. We believe that some of you might face the fact that their contact persons don't respond to your questions clearly or quickly enough. The main problem is that not all of them proficiently know English. Time to express and understand things are required for them to answer your questions. To overcome this language barrier, here are some advices we would like to share. Using simple and easy-to-understand English and also writing instead of speaking, if it is important.
2. Patience
You should be aware that things might not go as well as planned, when you deal with most small to medium size Thai garment factories. Not every apparel manufacturer in Thailand will be experienced enough to deliver and manage your products in a professional way and without any problems. We suggest you to prepare yourself for any mistakes, keep calm and deal with them in a friendly way when the issues pop up unavoidably.
3. Trust
Doing business with apparel manufacturer is like dealing with people. Don’t disguise yourself in business English, cold contract, deadlines, promises, terms and conditions. You will discover that some casual greetings, care and love can bring you closer to the manufacturer.
4. Equality
Treating clothing manufacturers from Thailand as they are in the equal position as you is the simplest thing required for building the healthy and strong relationship with them. A friendly gesture is the best thing you should do to guarantee a long-lasting business relationship. At the end of meeting, yocommuniu would want to reach a win-win situation with the
clothing manufacturer. Treating your partners equally without being arrogant and making unfeasible requests will help you develop a good reputation of your company among apparel manufacturers in Thailand. Please always keep in mind that both of you are partners, not a boss and employee.
Managing the healthy business relationship with Thai apparel manufacturer is an essential key for growing successfully and sustainably but it is not that easy. You should focus on your attitude and communication. Be patient and solve the unavoidable problems wisely and friendlily will ease any tricky situations. In addition to this, you can’t ignore trust, another important factor that is going to bind you closer to Thai clothing manufacturers.
