Part 3 of Bao Ma’s micro-business self-introduction

A mother who embarked on the road of entrepreneurship for her children

Sun?, female, born in 1984, Aquarius , "Jianghu" is rumored to be very goddess-like. Currently, her main job is to be a stay-at-home mom, and she also runs a part-time business as an overseas purchasing agent.

On the morning of April 6, 2015, I came to Sun’s home. This is not only her living place, but also her “small nest” for running her business.

When I opened the door of her home, what immediately attracted me was not the beautiful goddess in front of me, but the design of the home. On the wall are cartoon characters such as Big Star, SpongeBob SquarePants and Hello Kitty; in the corner of the living room are more than 10 beautiful handbags printed with pink hearts, which contain products she prepares for customers.

?Well, she must have a childlike innocence, and she must be a good mother who loves her children even more. ?I secretly confirmed it.

Sure enough, my guess was correct.

Sun? told me that before becoming a purchasing agent, she was a somewhat confused person in life, casual and careless. She embarked on the entrepreneurial path of overseas purchasing mainly so that her baby could use genuine products, which was inseparable from her own confusion.

At the end of 2013, my daughter was born. But not long after, my daughter developed eczema. In order to eliminate her daughter's eczema, Sun bought a can of genuine eczema cream from the Internet without any verification.

Unexpectedly, after using it, my daughter’s eczema not only showed no signs of subsidence, but became more and more serious.

What is going on? Sun? Anxiously, he asked the mothers around him for help. It wasn't until a mother took out the genuine product she bought that Sun realized she had bought a fake. My daughter’s eczema didn’t get better because she used fake products.

Sun Hui was angry. She hated the unscrupulous merchants, but she also hated herself for being confused and ignorant of the goods. In order to let her daughter use genuine products, Sun began to try to contact genuine merchants in the United States, and also asked relatives in Australia to help mail some daily necessities for infants and young children. Sun?, who has a wide range of friends, sometimes posts these products in WeChat Moments and exchanges parenting experiences with mothers in the circle.

I don’t know when, Sun? I discovered that many of my best friends who were mothers began to ask her: Where did you buy it? How much did it cost? Can you help me buy some? Sun? realized , more and more mothers around us are beginning to pay attention to the quality of infant and young child food.

Since you have the resources, why not do overseas purchasing on your own?

Sun? You and your husband hit it off right away, so why not do it? Not only for your daughter, but also for the best friends around you.

A purchasing agent who is determined not to do business with strangers

In April last year, Sun?’s small business officially started. She began to make use of her personal connections and work with family and friends who had settled abroad to do shopping for them, mainly health products and baby food from Australia, the United States and Japan, as well as some clothes and bags.

The first three months of starting a business are the most difficult. At first, he had to take care of his young children and also wanted to completely treat purchasing as a career. Sun? was a little bit uneasy. In the first two days of starting his business, Sun He didn't receive a single order. It wasn't until the third day that he opened the business.

Not only that, because we didn’t know much about the needs of our customer groups, some products with poor sales volume began to accumulate. Three months after starting the business, our performance has been unstable.

There is another big problem. Foreign direct mail often encounters bursting of bags and cans. These losses can only be borne by oneself. For example, if a can of liquid product exploded and the outer packaging of other products was contaminated, Sun would rather keep these products at home and not use them than sell them to customers.

The difficulty of starting a business took Sun a lot of energy and cost her a lot of money. She felt very tired and even thought about giving up.

Fortunately, despite the confusion, with the support and encouragement of family and friends, Sun? gritted his teeth and persevered.

At first, Sun? could only send out two boxes of goods every month to satisfy his babies and the mothers in his circle; but now, almost every month there are fifteen boxes of goods, and the goods have also increased from Dozens of species developed into hundreds of species.

At first, Sun Yu’s WeChat circle of friends only had more than 200 people; now, it has grown to more than 600 people.

I only do business with friends and friends of friends. I will never do business with strangers, and I will not add friends at will. ?Sun? said.

Nowadays, Sun?’s purchasing business is steadily heating up. He is very busy when he is busy and very comfortable when he is free. To put it bluntly, if you want to be a Congsun now? If you want the goods here, you have to wait for a while.

A micro-businessman who also hates the swiping of Moments

Sun?, who has overseas study experience and business education background, although he is a little confused in life, can start a business, but The door is clear.

Pricing is a technical job, right? Many purchasing agents fail in a short time because their prices are too high or too low. But why is Sun's purchasing business doing better and better? Sun? proudly said that this is because she can accurately read the market rules and set the prices that are quite satisfactory.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about Sun?’s business philosophy. After working as a purchasing agent for a year, Sun Hui has his own principles: never sell fake goods; never sell defective goods; never send random messages in WeChat Moments; and try to deliver everything to your doorstep.

How do you avoid selling fake products? Sun? He insists on trying them out, and only sells to others what he has tried. ?Let’s put it this way, I have over 80 products, but only over 40 are actually sold. What I sell to others must have been tried. ?Sun? said.

One year after starting his business, Sun Hui once encountered trouble. He purchased products for others, but they were mistaken for fakes. For this reason, she was very upset. Once when she had the opportunity to go to South Korea, she went to inspect the goods and found that she had been wronged.

This incident reminded Sun? You must have a good understanding of the products you sell. >>>More exciting things on the next page? Inspirational quotes from micro-business moms?
