Kian Golzari: 我是产品采购和开发方面的专家,我将分享我的经验,包括如何为皇家马德里足球明星定制iPhone,以及如何在2025年应对关税。我会介绍广州交易会的重要性,以及如何利用它来建立与中国供应商的直接联系。我还将讨论如何通过与制造商协商、优化产品设计和寻找替代制造国来降低成本。此外,我还将分享我个人的保健方法,包括冷水浴和锻炼,以及如何在创业过程中保持身心健康。最后,我会谈谈如何在2025年应对关税,以及如何利用人工智能来改进产品开发。 我与皇家马德里足球运动员的合作,以及为他们定制金iPhone的经历,为我打开了更多与足球运动员、经纪人和俱乐部高层合作的大门。这让我有机会接触到更多资源,并拓展了我的业务。 在保健方面,我强调睡眠、饮食和运动的重要性。充足的睡眠、健康的饮食和规律的运动能让我保持精力充沛,并更好地应对创业过程中的压力。冷水浴可以帮助我控制呼吸和精神专注力,从而更好地应对各种挑战。 关于关税,我认为在长期来看,目前的关税政策是不可持续的。为了应对关税,我建议卖家首先与现有供应商协商降低商品成本,然后评估自身利润空间,看看能否吸收关税成本。此外,卖家还可以分析产品的物料清单(BOM),寻找降低成本而不影响产品质量的途径,例如更换材料。 我还建议卖家采用“中国加一”策略,即寻找除中国以外的最佳替代制造国。选择替代制造国时,不要只关注价格,还要考虑工厂的规模、劳动力技能、基础设施和付款保障等因素。 广州交易会是寻找供应商、谈判价格和获取新产品创意的绝佳场所。在交易会上,你可以直接与工厂老板和决策者沟通,获得更优惠的价格和更快的产品开发速度。 关于人工智能,我认为它可以用于产品开发,例如分析客户评价以改进产品设计,但在供应链管理中,AI的作用有限,因为供应商选择更依赖于人际关系和沟通。 Bradley Sutton: 我主持了本期播客,并与Kian Golzari 进行了关于亚马逊卖家采购和关税策略的讨论。我们讨论了Kian 如何为皇家马德里足球明星定制iPhone,以及如何在2025年应对关税。我们还讨论了广州交易会的重要性,以及如何利用它来建立与中国供应商的直接联系。此外,我们还探讨了企业家如何保持身心健康,以及如何利用人工智能来改进产品开发。 Kian分享了他与皇家马德里足球运动员合作的经历,以及如何通过为他们定制金iPhone来拓展业务。他还分享了他个人的保健方法,包括冷水浴和锻炼,以及如何在创业过程中保持身心健康。 在关税方面,我们讨论了关税对亚马逊卖家的影响,以及如何通过与制造商协商、优化产品设计和寻找替代制造国来降低成本。Kian还建议卖家采用“中国加一”策略,即寻找除中国以外的最佳替代制造国。 我们还讨论了广州交易会的重要性,以及如何利用它来建立与中国供应商的直接联系。Kian建议卖家在交易会上直接与工厂老板和决策者沟通,获得更优惠的价格和更快的产品开发速度。 最后,我们探讨了人工智能在产品开发中的作用,以及如何利用人工智能来改进产品开发。Kian认为人工智能可以用于分析客户评价以改进产品设计,但在供应链管理中,AI的作用有限,因为供应商选择更依赖于人际关系和沟通。
