Business Words
1.Many companies appoint foreign residents or firms as their agents.
• Often working as the sales representative in a given country or area, the agent represents the exporting company’s interest by selling its products, collecting payment and making sure that customers are satisfied.
• For one area, a company can appoint only one or several agents. If it appoint only one, the agent is called an exclusive agent.
Speaking:Advantages in using agents
(1).Be familiar with the local market. The agent gives the exporting company inside
knowledge about the environment of the country in which the sales are made.
(2).Save money The agent lives on commission, which comes from
the sales he makes rather than from the company’s own financial resources.
(3). Easy to set up and stop The relationship with the agent can be cut off at low
cost if the agent is found not to be representing the company well.
