What is the job content of Alibaba International Station Account Manager?

Is Alibaba International Station easy to operate?

In 2023, Alibaba's basic fee is 29,800 yuan. Now you generally have to prepay 10,000 yuan for the through train, so it is 39,800 yuan. The rest are value-added products. If you don't have a budget of more than 100,000 yuan in 2023, you basically don't have to consider Alibaba International Station.

1. If you are a small or medium-sized enterprise and are just starting to engage in foreign trade, I suggest you do it.

But you have to be prepared to lose at least 39,800 yuan, plus employee expenses and other things. If you think 39,800 yuan is a large amount of money, it is best to give up. We must be responsible for our choices (afford to lose).

Because it is like a window that allows you to understand the external market. Many small and medium-sized enterprises have low business skills and few external market channels. Through Alibaba, they can at least get some basic information.

2. If you are a small or medium-sized enterprise and have been running Alibaba International Station for at least 3 years, but the results are minimal or even losing money (many of those losing money are still persisting), and it is about to expire, I suggest you shut it down.

Don't insist on doing it for the sake of sunk costs. Closing it down doesn't mean you should just sit back and do nothing. Instead, you should work hard to find other channels and improve them. This will have the biggest impact on the morale of the entire team. But if you think you can find some high-quality ones and develop them slowly in the future, then continue to work on it, but don't complain when there is no effect. As the saying goes, we have to bear the consequences of our own choices.

3. I have been using it for several years and it has some effect. It is useless. It is a pity to close it. It is useless to keep it. Other channels will not work. I suggest you do it first.

But you should learn about other channels as early as possible (this is a must). If you feel that other channels are not suitable for you after learning about them, and you still only know how to do Alibaba, then you can only stick to it and keep up with Alibaba's pace, through train + shipment + professional operation (not third-party, but self-cultivation). You must have a broad vision when doing foreign trade. If you only do Alibaba, you will really lose a lot in the end. You can see that the Alibaba platform itself is slowly introducing other platforms and starting short videos.

Everyone should be clear about the job content of Alibaba International Station Account Manager. On this platform, the International Station Account Manager can mainly help merchants deal with some problems in settling in and opening stores!
