Les visiteurs réguliers au club Chine de KLM connaissent probablement déjà un des membres les plus actifs de notre communauté : Directeur de Suzanne Hermans, de vente et de communications des histoires de succès de la Chine.

En raison de son réseau exceptionnel de plus de 940 contacts chez le club, mme. Hermans a attrapé notre attention. Après son voyage vers la Chine, nous avons échangé des rôles et lui avons demandés une entrevue.

Jeune et ambitieux
Suzanne Hermans est 24 années et un diplômé dans la gestion intégrée de communication. Elle a visité la première fois la Chine en 2001. La Chine l'avait inspirée depuis. Elle a même commencé à apprendre la langue l'année dernière.

Suzanne avait travaillé pour des histoires de succès de la Chine depuis janvier. Elle est responsable de la teneur du site Web et du bulletin. Elle également prend soin des entrevues et contrôle des opérations générales.

Le contenu unique s'est relié à faire des affaires et avec en Chine
Les histoires de succès de la Chine est une organization de sevice internationale qui a commencé il y a juste 4 mois et a été fondées par quatre entrepreneurs hollandais intéressés à la Chine. L'organisation est située à Utrecht, les Pays Bas. Son but est de fournir le contenu unique lié à faire des affaires et avec en Chine. Pour faire ceci, la compagnie interviewe les initiés expérimentés : personnes d'affaires les Pays Bas, des USA, de Chine et d'autres pays qui sont disposés à partager leur histoire personnelle de succès avec le reste du monde.

Partagez une histoire de succès
Suzanne pense que le club Chine de KLM est une manière parfaite de contacter d'autres qui ont n'importe quel genre de raccordement avec la Chine.
La « lecture des histoires et des expériences d'autres sur le site Web est commode et fascinante, et obtenir en contact avec ces personnes est très facile. Le fait que le club Chine de KLM offre un service de message en ligne augmente considérablement cette accessibilité. When you find people you would like to connect with, you simply invite them to your network. Sending them messages is just as easy. For me, and China Success Stories, Club China is a perfect network to meet and get into contact with expats, entrepreneurs who are doing business in China, businesspeople who want to do business in China, and, of course, people who are willing to share their success story!”

No day without Club China
No day goes by without visiting KLM Club China. Her work at China Success Stories is full-time; she always has a browser open to Club China. Just to see if she has any new messages, to see who the latest new members are, and to send messages to her own contacts. One of her favorite features is the one that lets you see other members’ contacts. “This way, you can see certain connections and invite their contacts to become your contact as well.”

Suzanne’s success story with Club China
Suzanne has been a member of KLM Club China since March 2007. By now, she has built a network of more than 940 extremely interesting professionals. In the meantime, China Success Stories has received multiple messages from people wanting to know what China Success Stories is and how their story could help China Success Stories in any possible way. “I was very surprised to see that people are that eager to tell their story and share it with the rest of the world.”

Suzanne’s business success story
She and a colleague went to China in April. They interviewed 14 very interesting and extremely friendly professionals, all of whom have extensive experience in the Chinese market. Almost every person they interviewed in China is a member of KLM Club China. For China Success Stories, the trip to China and all the articles resulting from that visit (coming soon to our website) is a success story in its own right. Suzanne thinks it is fair to say that this success is due in part to the great support of the KLM Club China network. Next time China Success Stories goes to China, klmclubchina.com will be again the first port of call.

Terms of employment to start meeting Western standards soon
Many people are afraid that a lot of production work will move to China due to the lower labor costs there. Their fears are justified as of now, but for how much long longer? China is developing and Chinese production workers are becoming more and more aware of the fact that certain terms of employment should be considered standard instead of bonuses. Suzanne thinks that terms of employment such as working conditions as well as respect for the environment, etc. will be meeting “Western standards” sooner than most people think. In this respect, she can only be glad things are heading in this direction. “This means that for me, China is full of opportunities as opposed to threats.”

Tips for other members
Suzanne’s advice is: “If you plan to go to China, be sure you are well prepared and informed. If not, postpone the trip. It would be a waste of time and money, and it would ruin your chance to make a good first impression – something that is very important in China.
