项目描述:
We are looking for hiring a local advisor in China who can help us with data collection and analysis。
需要一个当地的顾问做数据搜集和分析。
已经沟通过,是需要了解电力短缺对金属行业的影响。
我的想法:
已经和项目发起人取得了沟通,但是沟通上感觉碰到了问题。
我就是想让客户提供个明确的指南,然后他一直在重复他的目的,最后说做一个试验,我答应了,到结束谈话阶段,我并没有谈到收费的问题。
因为他提的这个数据要求我不知道我能不能找到,打算先尝试找一下然后在谈费用,想避免收了费用后,然后找不到数据的情况。
因为没做过这样的调查项目,总感觉到我和对方的沟通之间存在着某种问题,但不太确认问题在哪。
以下为聊天内容。

超哥:面试复盘
在大多数日常挑战中,能在多个申请者中成功入选,Proposal没大的问题,
但面试往往决定了能不能拿下项目。
面试中,绝大多数人最大的问题,是答非所问。
破解的关键,是要快速分析面试问题背后的本质。
基本上,所有的面试问题都围绕以下的目标展开。
- 我为什么要雇佣你
- 你为什么适合这个项目
具体我们来解读一下。
以下为聊天内容。
J: Hi Rachel
J: Can you please clarify what is your actual experience in the research field
R: For example, I have done desk research to help the client know there was an opportunity for them to enter the Chinese market.

J: Thank you
询问的是经验问题。
客户想知道,如果你来做,能不能完成他的项目,有没有做过类似的事情。
你的回答相关性很重要,这个项目需要的并不是你到手机店铺走访信息,也不是消费者用户体验,而是需要做行业调查和分析报告。
你如果能展开说一说desktop research, 你的搜索能力,求证信息的能力,会到位得多。
另外也可以讲讲自己经常做信息搜集、报告汇总的工作,提升了分析的能力。
还可以讲讲你在过去的几年,接触了很多行业,比如通过各种方式查看、验证对方的生产能力、实力,了解对方的竞争者、投资者情况。
如果你没有完全相同的案例,可以从客户项目要求技能的角度展开,提供一些具体的信息。
Ja: Where are you located in China?
R: I live in Shanghai.
这是普通的small talk。没问题。
J: CIC center is a leading research center. we have initiated a large scale research the impacts of COVID-19 on the metals industry. sounds interesting?
J: One of our main focus is the power crunch in China and its impacts on metals industry. we are looking for hiring a local advisor who can help us with data collection and anlysis
R: I’m interested in this project.
This is a complex topic.
Will you share your requirements in detail?
对方做了自我介绍,这是他的流程。
他讲到了他的目的,
data collection and analysis
这时候,你表达感兴趣是非常好的。
但马上说这个问题很复杂,不能说有错,只是略显突兀,转折有点快。
比较好的做法,是先不要说complex。可以去掉这一句
“This is a complex topic.”
顺着客户的目标,可以问问
Would you please tell me more about the details, what kind of data specifically?
问问要什么具体数据,这样可以直接转入业务范围的沟通。
也可以避开客户问你行业经验值的问题,下面两个问题,是你引发的,因为你问客户对你有什么要求
J: Are you familiar with the metals industry in China?
J: We are examining the impacts of power cuts on the industry production, Environment aspects are under our experts responsibility
客户回答了你的问题。“Will you share your requirements in detail?”
他指出了他关心的问题,“……带来的影响”
R: So what I can do for you in this project?
但是,你没有理会。
反而重新问客户你要什么。
这个时候,补救的措施,其实是响应对方,表达你理解,然后再做询问。
J: We are looking for a local advisor in China who can help us with data collection and analysis regarding the power cuts and its impacts on production
客户重新回答了你,并补充了他需要的具体东西,“停电带来的的影响”
R: I mean what data do you need me to collect?
Will you give a guide to do this project?
When will you expect to start?
其实后面的提问并没有什么问题,你也可以追问。但你又一次直接忽略客户的发言,这就让沟通的氛围显得尴尬了。
你这时候应该说的,是好的,我了解了,然后过渡。
J: The required data is the actual power cut of metals producers and the impact of it on the production.
J: If you would like we can have a trial to see if you are able to deliver
J: If you are able you will have a lot of job to do
即使是这样,客户也愿意给你机会。
R: We can have a trial.
为什么没有看到激动,没有看到兴奋?
就像你是领导。
客户看不到你的积极态度。
J: Ningxia Huiye Magnesium Group
J: it is a Magnesium producer
J: if you want I can choose other.
很好的开始。
R: This is OK.
J: Good luck
OK什么?
你OK了,客户就OK了。
trial test也需要有目标、预算、和范围。
首先,这个trial会付费么?
第二,什么时候要?
第三,需要哪些具体的数据,能不能提供界最感兴趣的问题?
你没有问。
J: Let us understand what is the current power cut and its impact on magnesium production? and what is the estimated plan for getting back to normal production
客户帮你回答了。
因为,实际上,他并没有OK,他并不放心。
已经和项目发起人取得了沟通,但是沟通上感觉碰到了问题。
我就是想让客户提供个明确的指南,然后他一直在重复他的目的,最后说做一个试验,我答应了,到结束谈话阶段,我并没有谈到收费的问题。
因为他提的这个数据要求我不知道我能不能找到,打算先尝试找一下然后在谈费用,想避免收了费用后,然后找不到数据的情况。
因为没做过这样的调查项目,总感觉到我和对方的沟通之间存在着某种问题,但不太确认问题在哪。
客户面试了6个人。
他需要找到的,不是最有才华,最能干,最有经验的。
而是他觉得能把这个事情顺利做成,最适合的一个人。
首先,要有能力,接下来要有积极的沟通态度。
我把面试全程逐句做了分析。
你其实即使沟通中有不少问题,但也已经拿到了机会,千万不要自己放弃啊。
因为他提的这个数据要求我不知道我能不能找到,打算先尝试找一下然后在谈费用,想避免收了费用后,然后找不到数据的情况。
试单就是这个目的。如果找不到,完全可以少收点钱,或者不收钱啊。。。
另外,这本身就不是非常难的工作,只是像很多新领域一样,对新手有一定的位置挑战和麻烦。
有些机会,一旦错过就不再!
