However, in the rapidly changing global cross-border business war, if sellers want to continue to occupy the competitive highland, they must take precautions-not only deeply understand the policy trend and consumption pain points of the target market, but also dynamically optimize their business strategies and build irreplaceable core barriers through differentiated products, localized services and digital capabilities.

No matter which platform you are looking for customers, you must first be familiar with the characteristics and rules of the target platform, and make good use of the platform to reach more customers and realize sales transformation.
02 differentiated management
The cross-border e-commerce industry is changing from primitive growth to standardized development, and the original popular distribution model has no advantage.
