Translation

This week Suzanne and me discussed the Translation projects, and we did final decision in this week. And the total 20 pages I already feedback to her.

IV Other Tasks

1.      Wrote weekly Support report to FX.

  1. Done the weekly SALES report.
  2. Attended Training meeting, and learn more about the affiliate, and register [email protected] in tradedoubler.com, and choose 10 programs made a banner page, here is the URL:

http://www.geocities.com/pinanxa/training/banners/banner_aff.html

  1. Read the summary of affiliate and Suzanne three Chinese portal report.

V Support

Received I email, and the customer asked about the pay by Phone, because in our FAQ, there write they can pay by phone, and it is 1.66 Ero, so the guy asked me how much that in Chinese, and what the phone number, I replied him already.

 

VI SOMETHING WITH MY COMMENTS

1.      This week I wrote to Baidu many times, and now there is another way we can pay by HKD, but there is still the third party bank. But easier thing is if we pay HKD, we can just go to STANDARD CHARTERED BANK, and I already send the email to Suzanne about the process.

2.      This week I contack with a Information company in China that they has a short number 2110 for China mobile. And they gave me their information:

Company name: Henan Yutong Information technology INC.

Address: Zheng zhou city, Henan, China.

Contact person: Deng, lihui

Contact number: 0086-371-5968286---801or802

           This is a possible company, since my friends introduce it, so I just direct write email to them, and for more SPs, I am still waiting for you to check the letter.

  1. Since Suzanne told a Canada school wants to buy our software to test their student every year, I have one idea.  We can talk with them about we don’t sale our software, but since they are a group buyer and they need every semester, so we can give them a discount for group tickets, and from this why we not develop more group buyers? And this also made me remember before I have been written you an email about we can make a special IQ test for students, since now many Chinese student want to study abroad, and the truth is every year, more than hundred thousands Chinese students go to other countries. And most of them need pay 2000-3000 US dollars for the medium company (the company help the student choose school and do the visa), like me, I pay 2500 US dollars to a company. If we have a special IQ test, and tell them if you go to other countries student, IQ test is an important part of the entrance exam, so for sure they like to try it since it is just 15 Yuan.
  2. I read the weekly report from Suzanne, and I agree with her, we can just for a while the payment solution, but we need come up with more Chinese product, now I thought we did the Chinese product is not fast, and for looking for any partner, they are really care about what product we have, if we only show one IQ test, that can’t make them so interested, we need come up with the EQ test, and Job test. So we can show more, and give them more confidence, and also for ourselves, we can give our customers more interesting test, that will make more traffic, maybe a customer aim to test his IQ, but when he saw us EQ, he has more interesting. We need balance and organize our tasks well now.
