Article of Olivier VEROT, founder of GMA. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n They\u2019re not ignoring you because they\u2019re rude. They\u2019re ignoring you because you\u2019re not even playing the same game they are. You\u2019re sitting in the dugout, while they\u2019re out on the field dominating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the real reason they don\u2019t reply:<\/strong> You\u2019re not showing up in a way that makes sense to them. Let me break it down for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In China, WeChat isn\u2019t just an app\u2014it\u2019s the way business gets done.<\/strong> Sending an email to a Chinese travel agency is like sending a handwritten letter in the digital age. It\u2019s slow, impersonal, and frankly, outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What happens when you send an email?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chinese agencies don\u2019t work with just anyone. They want proof<\/strong> that you\u2019re credible, reliable, and capable of delivering exceptional experiences for their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the problem: You have no:<\/p>\n\n\n\n No reputation means no trust, and no trust means no business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This signals to them:<\/strong> \u201cThis company doesn\u2019t care about adapting to Chinese travelers<\/a>\u2019 needs.\u201d And that\u2019s a dealbreaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re not on Douyin, WeChat, or Xiaohongshu<\/a>, you don\u2019t exist<\/strong> in the eyes of Chinese agencies. They use these platforms to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n No videos, no posts, no mentions? You\u2019re invisible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who wants to work with ghost in China? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Nobody <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re expecting them to adapt to YOU instead of the other way around. They need to see that you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can\u2019t show them you\u2019ve made the effort, they won\u2019t bother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chinese travel agencies<\/a> work hard to protect their reputation with their clients. Partnering with an unproven company is a risk they can\u2019t afford to take. They prioritize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you look like you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re doing<\/a>, they\u2019ll move on to someone who does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think of it as your main business tool, not an extra step.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Chinese agencies are willing to pay for quality, but they want transparency and value. Here\u2019s how to price your packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right now, you\u2019re not getting replies because you\u2019re not meeting Chinese agencies where they are. It\u2019s not that they don\u2019t want to collaborate\u2014it\u2019s that you\u2019re making it too hard for them to even consider you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you need to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adapt to their expectations, show that you care about understanding their needs, and watch the partnerships start rolling in. You\u2019ve got the product\u2014now it\u2019s time to play the game the right way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Olivier-verot-GMA-tourist-1024x330.jpg\")
