Business Contacts

Distance is not an obstacle nowadays and personal contacts have become the most efficient means of promoting a better understanding in all spheres of human activity. Foreign trade is no exception.

Normally businessmen contact through correspondence or telephone calls. But, of course, main problems can be solved more effectively through a personal meeting. During the talks the partners have an opportunity to discuss all problems face to face and to come to an agreement more easily. Business visits serve different purposes. If the goal of a visit is negotiations such visits are held in office premises. If the Buyer’s representatives want to get an idea about a plant and manufacturing process the Sellers can show them round the whole plant or some production shops. The Buyers have a chance to see equipment in operation, to be present at the tests and so on.

Since a business trip is always limited in time, businessmen make all arrangements in advance by phone or by telex. They reserve hotel accommodations, book tickets, discuss the itinerary of their meeting. If it is a business trip abroad it’s necessary to apply for a visa. As well an inviting party can arrange some entertaining programme, including excursions, restaurant parties, etc.

Business visits are usually very fruitful. They contribute to mutual understanding and further cooperation between the partners.
