The Cross-Border Gap

Why are Chinese companies struggling to develop trust in the Western market?

For Chinese enterprise SaaS and manufacturers, success in the West requires more than just translating content from Chinese into English. You need a solid understanding of how B2B marketing is done locally. Here are the top 3 bottlenecks we've observed in our clients going West.

01

The LinkedIn Paradox

LinkedIn automatically bans behaviour that mimics bots. That means your outreach efforts are limited by volume and quality of messaging. Posting generic specifications and sending sales pitches to new connections on LinkedIn often falls on deaf ears and can get you shadowbanned.

02

The Cold Inbox Barrier

Successful email campaigns depend on 3 key factors, good timing, relevant messaging and the correct prospects. Most Chinese businesses fail because they miss one of these requirements. They fail to scan for intent signals, their messaging is obviously AI-generated and their lead list is low authority.

03

The Trust Deficit

When doing cross-border business you need to be trustworthy from the start. The algorithms on Western platforms are wildly different and this complicates your entrance into the Western market. A lot gets lost in translation and can easily tarnish your company image.

Our Background

About the founder Alla · Founder, Xiqiao

Alla is a Durham University graduate of Chinese Studies and has spent the past 7 years of her life immersing in China, its language, culture and people. Her journey started with the founding of an online Chinese school, Sinosphere. It pioneered an unorthodox approach to teaching Chinese, basing its entire curriculum on native Chinese media. Alla has significant expertise in social media marketing and B2B sales and has grown her audience to 41K across Instagram, Linkedin and TikTok.

She inevitably became "the go-to" for connecting colleagues and friends with factories in China, helping them source complex machinery for their businesses. While interacting with manufacturers she noticed an upsurge in Chinese businesses taking to Western social media to market their products and an opportunity to act as a bridge between China and the West.

Unlike most publications in the West, she doesn't believe that China has reached its peak yet. In her eyes China is constantly evolving and finding new marketing strategies to bring its services and products to the West.
