05한국어 소개진행 방식과 업무 범위 한눈에 보기
한국어 소개
한국을 중심으로, 각 나라를 양방향으로 연결합니다.
Minethod는 한국을 기반으로 한국·독일·중국·일본·미국 간의 비즈니스를 양방향으로 지원하는 모델입니다. 한국으로 들어오는 거래와 한국에서 나가는 거래뿐 아니라, 다른 국가 간의 거래도 같은 구조로 연결합니다. 독일은 Rodi가 담당하며, 중국·일본·미국에는 현지 파트너들이 있습니다.
한국 고객이 해외 제조사 홈페이지에 표시된 Minethod의 한국 연락처를 보고 직접 전화하거나 이메일을 보냅니다. Minethod가 고객을 직접 만나 아이디어와 의견을 듣고 사양·수량·일정 등 요구사항을 확인합니다. 견적에 대한 반응을 파악하고 합의한 기준에 따라 제품 품질을 확인한 뒤, 결과와 필요한 후속 조치를 본사에 전달합니다. 견적·기술 답변·승인이 필요한 사항은 본사와 조율합니다. 본사의 답변을 고객에게 설명하고 후속 대응까지 맡습니다. Flex·Standard는 직접 연락해온 한국 고객을 귀사 팀의 일원처럼 책임감 있게 지원합니다. 아직 한국 고객이 없더라도, 비용 부담을 줄여 필요한 현지 업무를 요청할 수 있는 Starter 플랜이 있습니다. 고객사가 알아봐 달라고 요청한 정보 조사·확인, 현지 문의와 업무 조율 등을 합의된 범위에서 지원합니다. Minethod는 신규 고객을 찾아내거나 영업 대행 캠페인을 진행하는 사업모델이 아닙니다. 업무 범위와 일정은 시작 전에 합의합니다.
