Prerequisites of an exporter
Today, in the world around us, many people engage in export and import work due to the various resources that are available to them, but you will find few people in this market who try to reach a sustainable export with export science. As science advances rapidly in various fields, if an intelligent exporter does not involve science in his work, he will definitely not achieve sustainable exports, and today all traditional exporters are out of the cycle of competition due to not being up to date with the global movement of target markets. They were removed and unfortunately they harmed the commercial sector of our beloved country, Iran, so sustainable exports should be scientifically achieved. Atis Export Management Company (Arin Tejarat Yekta Soha) is trying to share its experiences and knowledge with you friends with its continuous efforts in research and development of commercial markets.
In the first step, it should be said what characteristics an exporter has, and then we will tell you what the prerequisites of a successful exporter should be.
Characteristics of an exporter
Any exporter who wants to find his position in the global market must have three characteristics.

Exporting is not a second job and a successful exporter must devote all his time to sustainable business in order to manage exports properly. The work of exporting has many different aspects. A person cannot solve all the problems of the export path alone, so he must have a strong team, including people specializing in digital marketing, unloading, loading, clearance, etc.
2- New knowledge: As mentioned, new knowledge in today’s world causes multiple progress and failure to advance with new knowledge causes exclusion from the global cycle. New knowledge in export science not only connects to first-class suppliers and export targets, but also finds export customers at the same time. Today, many international virtual pages provide this knowledge to businessmen for free.
3- Specific goods and services: What is your winning card? If you do not provide special goods and services in the global market, you will not reach sustainable exports. It is not meant to be exclusive, but it is to progress simultaneously with the needs of the society. Every society will find new needs at some point in time. A smart exporter will prepare and provide the best products and services specific to that society by examining these needs.
