Salesman Sample

A Salesman Sample is a sample provided by the seller to the buyer in foreign trade to showcase product style, quality, craftsmanship, etc., and to facilitate sales transactions. It is usually not the final bulk production but represents the product standard for future mass production. Usage scenarios include trade shows, customer visits, new customer development, and recommending new products to existing customers. Precautions: The salesman sample should match the final bulk quality as closely as possible to avoid disputes caused by discrepancies between the sample and bulk goods; samples are often marked with 'Sample' or 'Not for Sale' to prevent accidental sale; if the customer places an order after confirming the salesman sample, the sample may become the basis for quality inspection. Difference from 'Approval Sample': An approval sample is a sample confirmed by the buyer as the production standard for bulk goods and has contractual binding force; a salesman sample focuses more on promotion and display and is not necessarily directly used as a production basis. Difference from 'Pre-production Sample': A pre-production sample is made before bulk production to finalize confirmation of craftsmanship and materials. Therefore, a salesman sample is a promotional tool in the early stage of trade negotiations, while approval samples and pre-production samples are quality control tools during order execution.
