How a China sales team‑as‑a‑service works

1

We hire and employ your local team

We recruit sales, channel, and service staff in China and employ them through our EOR/PEO solution, so you don't need a local entity.

2

You own the strategy; we run local execution

You define ideal customer profiles, pricing, and messaging; we localise and execute sales activity, channel development, and after‑sales follow‑up.

3

Compliance, HR, and operations are handled by us

We manage contracts, payroll, social insurance, and HR administration, ensuring your people are fully compliant in China.

4

Transparent reporting and scalability

We provide regular activity and pipeline reporting; as you see traction, we can expand headcount or help you transition to your own entity.

Typical go‑to‑market scenarios we support

European industrial manufacturer

Uses a small China sales and service team to win first key accounts and understand pricing and channel dynamics before committing to a subsidiary.

Hardware or IoT company

Builds a regional sales + technical pre‑sales team in East and South China to support distributors and key customers.

Specialised equipment or component supplier

Maintains a lean China presence to nurture relationships with OEMs and strategic partners.

In each case, you get the benefits of a local presence in China without the fixed cost and complexity of a local entity.

Why work with EmiliaTeams for your first China sales team

Grounded in HR and compliance

We ensure your sales and service staff are legally employed and protected, which is essential for long‑term relationships.

Understanding of international manufacturers and B2B sales

We are used to working with industrial, hardware, and B2B tech companies that sell complex products with long sales cycles.

Bridge between HQ and the field

We help align your headquarters expectations with what is realistic and effective in the China market.

From "test and learn" to long‑term presence

We design teams and processes that can be scaled or migrated into your own entity later.
