Tip1 :Never underestimate the importance of existing connections. Focus on building the relationship before talking business. Do not go for big profit on your first contract.
Never pressure your Asian colleagues for a decision. To speed up the decision process, slow down. Start from the beginning and work through to a solution in a logical, step-by-step fashion. Then stand your ground.
My thoughts: I think that the key thing here is to understand that nobody likes to be pressured into making a decision, not just Asian people. If you want to work in harmony with your colleagues/potential clients, its important to take some time to solve problems as it will also reflect on your ability to cooperate with them. Rather than add fuel to a fire, take a step back and work on a solution (even its only temporary) to help save you time. Address your concerns afterwards and do what is necessary then to ensure the same problem doesn't occur again.
Prepare for every interaction. Do not count on your ability to wing it. A lack of preparedness can cause loss of face and trust. Do not give or expect to receive partial answers from your Chinese colleagues, as that is considered offensive.
My thoughts: I'd honestly say from my own experience that winging it is almost certainly not the best way of showcasing your capabilities when it comes to closing a deal. No matter how experienced or 'good' one thinks they may be, anyone that you want to be doing business with will probably have done their homework on you and your company, so do them the same courtesy. Always be prepared no matter what. It is a reflection of your business ethic, and it will help to show your counterparts how committed and thorough you are.
