We have noticed many of our Social Agent clients request a local Chinese and English speaking person to help them with following up the sales leads in their account. Our team has been working day and night building, listening to customer / user requests, and building some more.
We know our clients don’t just need software, but they also need fully functional, skilled, and passionate Chinese sales and marketing assistants for their social media campaign’s success.
As a test (we always test first, carefully, heh!) we have connected some of the accounts to our close network of Chinese sales assistants. I met a few of them last week (where this photo came from) and showed them the Social Agent system, explained how foreigners (westerners) want to enter the Chinese market, or are already here, and have no idea on how to find and manage Chinese workers. Especially those skilled on internet marketing and social media.
I’m so excited about this, and already it motivates me more and more to get businesses to sign up – as it is money for these freelancers and will connect western businesses to quality Chinese workers. I love disrupting the traditional office space as well.
Here’s a motivating email I got from a hustling Chinese freelancer Jay:
Subject: New Work From Home Job Post

To: me, Chris, Amy
6:57 PM (43 minutes ago)OK, including posting weibo and replying the comments. Don’t forget to tell Tony that few people are using blog now. Is it 500 – 800RMB per repost （Fashion Weibo Account with 6M followers）acceptable to him? The number of followers will surely increased, and more followers mean more potential customers! When you have thousands/millions of followers one day, you don’t need to ask somebody to repost you Weibo anymore.
He is getting better and better at his pitches and offerings. I replied to him he’s getting better.
And I love hosting meetups – this will give me more motivation to network with these hungry Chinese home based workers.
Stamp of approvals, testing, and certifications in Chinese social media is next.
Onwards.
