As you know , we take great pride in our machines and are jealous of the reputation for quality and dependability which we have achieved over the last 40 years.

We specialized in parking sensor system, and all our products with CE/FCC/FCCID approved!Regarding the FUN MINI DVR your selected on the fair, pls find the details with best offer in attachment.Hope to get good news from you! Thanks.Best regards,SandySales assistantSandy，我要说一点，你的情况和其他朋友又不一样了。你在展会上拿到过客人的名片，而且客人曾经对某一款产品感兴趣，那简直是一个相当好的机会！只要你把握住了，成交可能性是很大的！这种情况下，你特别要标注出他在展会上选的东西，而且主动提供详细资料和报价，这一点至关重要！客人很忙的，他可能在香港展上去过很多同行那边，问同一个产品，他会收到很多很多邮件，恐怕根本没空回复或主动联系你，所以你一定要主动出击，提供完整的资料和好的价格，然后跟进，赢得他的信任！如果像你刚才那样，问他是不是有兴趣，有兴趣你会给他详细资料，客人会觉得很烦的，觉得你怎么需要推一下动一下，做业务要学会主动，客人一个眼色，你就要能完成三四个动作。客人问你价格，你连详细参数尺寸包装材料都一并提供了。客人问你说明书，你连设计稿和文字都完整无误地给他参考。客人需要彩盒，你不止给了他图片，还有准确尺寸的刀模图，连别的客人的彩盒也一并给他做设计参考。你说，客人是不是会对你印象很好？商业文书：对付只回复了一封邮件的应该怎么继续追踪下去呢？1. 对付说有库存的应该怎么说才能引起再次他的兴趣呢？2. 对于说再考虑或已存档的呢？3. 对于那些只回了一封问厂址问MOQ问报价表然后就没回音的呢，又应该怎么办？1）对付说有库存的，可能没有太好的办法，只有等真有库存的时候，低价卖给他。或者卖给其他老外的货出了问题，比如说客人倒闭了，你货到了港口没人提，那就马上联系这些库存客人，低价卖给他们，以免滞港费到时更贵。2）对于说再考虑或者已存档的，不定期跟踪一下，有新产品的时候主动去推荐，时不时也可打电话联络一下，了解客人的进展。我以前也是一个沉默的客户，发发开发信联系了几次，一直都没消息，后来推荐新产品给他，也是没反应，再后来打他电话，他终于说最近准备去广州的一家贸易公司，有批货在那里做，我马上抓住机会，约他在广州见个面。客人同意了，也给了我手机号，后来见面以后就谈到了他目前采购的一些东西，也同意让我报一部分价格，再后来就下了订单，陆陆续续应该有7个订单，如果我没记错的话，但都是几千美金一单的，全部都是小单子。但是客人很好说话，付款也很爽快。现在虽然没怎么联系了，还是很感激他。3）对于只回了一封，问moq和报价的，接着跟进看看，是不是价格太高，还是moq觉得太高，再看看接着怎么做。一般客人要我报价，我通常对一个产品会给出几个方案，做出高中低3种价格，用的材料不同，包装不同，印刷也不同，让客人选择，然后再根据具体的情况来分析。假如找你这么办的话，那客户在中国的供应商会帮你把样品放到货柜里，发给客户吗？因为他的供应商肯定是你的同行，你们就是竞争对手。你不怕热包子打狗有去无回吗？其实老外通常还是诚实的，只要你能为他着想，他通常是知道的。而他的供应商即便跟你是同行，在这种情况下，也不便暗中动手脚的，其实大家的目的一致，都是为了赚老外的钱，没错吧？而且你的样品既然放在他的柜子里出，即使是类似的产品，但绝对不会一模一样的，否则老外自己都会考虑到这个问题，需要避忌的。很多时候是我们想太多了，大部分人我相信还是诚实得。有竞争是正常的，竞争对手可以用各种手段来对付你，甚至可以和你拼价格，但是他只能明着来，如果暗中捣鬼，一旦让老外知道，那肯定是适得其反，大部分聪明的供应商都知道怎么做的。网上转得疯狂的资料：很多sales朋友常常抱怨，开发信效果很差，100封里面好几十封退信，剩下的就是石沉大海，难得有一个老外回一句“No, thanks.”就可以让你激动半天。其实大家有没有想过，这样的做法会严重挫伤自己的积极性。可以试想一下，当你一天坐在电脑面前12个小时，从google和各种黄页搜索到客人信息，一封一封开发信发出去，晚上满脸疲惫的回家，等第二天满怀希望上班的时候，邮箱里爆满各种各样的退信，你是什么感受？我以前也是做业务的，当年大学毕业后从业务助理、跟单做起，后来做sales和sales manager，PA to director，一直到现在做buyer，中间换了几份工作，也经历过大部分朋友所经历的各种问题。我当时也有这么一段时间，没日没夜地发推销信，找新客人，无休止地报价，但效果甚微。后来跟很多不同的客人熟识了以后，私底下聊起才发现，当初的开发信写的是大大有问题的。很多老外也是做sales的，也会写开发信，为什么成交率比我们高很多？即使不说成交率，回复率也大大高过我们？很多刚毕业的朋友们都是学国贸专业出来的，一般都学过外贸函电这门课，老师们反复教你们怎么写商务信函，怎么回询盘等等，其实这些教材几乎都是学院派人士编的，不是老掉牙过时的东西，就是和现实基本脱节的。很多老师一辈子都呆在学校里，连外贸都没做过，你怎么能指望从他们这里学到写商务信函的精髓？真正的好的email，必须要模仿老外的行文方式，尤其是英语为母语的客人！即使你的邮件写得四平八稳，语法精到，整篇下来没有任何错误，在大学里可以拿满分作文了，可客人收到以后，还是怎么看怎么别扭。我觉得，你给客人写邮件的时候，必须要忘记中国人的行文和思维方式，要按欧美人的习惯去思考问题和写邮件，这样才能让客人把你当成同类。到那一天，你随便写一封邮件，当大部分人都看不出这封邮件出自一个中国人之手，你就出师了！我先列举一些大部分朋友写email时常范的错误，大家可以看看，对比一下自己，其中的几条是自己也会有的？接下来再讨论开发信怎么写。呵呵。1）邮件写得过长。客人的时间很宝贵，每天要收到数百封邮件，你想想，一个不认识的人发了一封又长又臭的邮件给你，英语表述又不好，还加了好几M的附件，你会不会认真去看？而且很多老外的时间观念很强，每天都有几块固定的时间用来处理email，很多长篇大论的邮件，只要不是他的熟人发的，一般会被直接删除，或者是把你的地址设为垃圾邮件。我问过很多西欧客人，他们一般处理每一封邮件的时间是2-3秒，也就是大致扫一眼，重要的邮件，一般马上仔细阅读并回复，不是太重要的，会在outlook里标注上要处理的具体时间，然后从inbox拉到相应的子目录里。换句话说，只要客人的邮箱地址是对的，也是你要找的right person，你的开发信只能停留在他眼前2-3秒，就是决定命运的时刻了。这种情况下，试问你敢不敢把邮件写得很长？2）没有明确的主题。一个不明确的主题，会让客人根本没兴趣去打开陌生人的邮件。这个就需要经验了，内容要言简意赅，直接吸引客人通过主题去点开邮件，目的就达到了。至于他看了以后有没有反应，就要看实际情况和你内容的功力了。有些人写邮件会这样设置主题：“we are the manufacturer of lights”，又或者“need cooperation”，或者“Guangdong *** trading company ltd”，或者“price list for lights-Guangdong *** trading company ltd”等等，一看就知道是推销信。当你一个礼拜就收到一封推销信，你可能会有兴趣看看，但是如果你一天收到N封推销信，估计就会很厌烦，直接删掉算是客气的了。所以如何把主题写好，让客人知道这是封推销信，还是要忍不住打开看看？就要根据之际情况来判断了。举个例子吧，假设我是做太阳能灯的公司DEF Co. Ltd，目前公司最大的客人是美国的Home Depot，尽管可能是通过贸易商做的，不是直接合作，但是完全可以当作一个开发新客人的筹码！如果我要写一封开发信给美国的ABC inc（这个名字是我编的），我从google上了解了一些这个公司的信息，知道他们是美国的进口商，有做太阳能灯系列，希望能试着开发这个客人，我一般会这样写主题，“Re: ABC inc/Home Depot vendor-solar light/DEF Co., Ltd.”其中，ABC inc代表了客人的公司名，你在写给他的主题上首先加上他公司名，表示对他们公司的尊重；Home Depot vendor-solar light明确表示你是北美第二大零售商Home Depot的太阳能灯供应商，既表明了实力，也勾起他的兴趣；最后的DEF Co., Ltd.代表自己公司。这样一来，假设你找对了人，这个正是ABC公司太阳能灯的buyer，又或者是他的某一个主管，突然某一天收到这么一个主题的邮件，哇，home depot的供应商找上来了，太棒了，应该看看是不是有合作机会，是不是比原有供应商更好？他打开邮件的概率会非常非常大！再说了，这个主题设置的还有一个好处，就是客人即使暂时不回你邮件，只是放在收件箱里，但是将来某一天他突然想让你报报价，很容易就能找到这封邮件！只要关键词输入home depot，保证一下子就找到。3）长篇大论的公司或工厂介绍。我现在做buyer，也会收到工厂和贸易公司的推销信。贸易公司还稍微好一点，很多工厂的业务员，开发信实在写得不咋地，简直可以说是惨不忍睹，既浪费客人时间，也浪费自己时间。我经常会收到类似的邮件：“我们是某某照明灯具厂，地处美丽的长江三角洲东南，交通便利，风景优美，离上海和杭州仅仅2小时车程，我们公司成立于2002年，具有丰富的太阳能灯生产和开发经验，享誉全球，我们工厂获得ISO质量体系，严格按照5S管理，真诚欢迎您来我厂参观拜访，希望和您建立起长久的业务关系，我们以真诚和服务赢得客户,,,,”诸如此类的话，客人会看得很不耐烦，即使你是一个很好的公司或很好的工厂，第一次就收到这样一封邮件，任谁都会感到厌烦的。有朋友会反问，那是不是完全不写呢？我的回答是，也不一定，要看具体情况。如果你的公司有突出的优势，可以写，但是最好一笔带过就可以了。可以这样写：We supply solar lights for Home Depot with high quality and competitive price. Hope to cooperate with you!简单一点，一两句话点到重点，调起老外的胃口，让他反过来问你各种问题，你的目的就达到了。做业务久了你就发现，很少有客人每封邮件长篇大论的，即使有，也是极少数的特例，或者是要确认一些细节之类的。4）爱炫耀英文水平。以前有个助理，英语八级，刚毕业的学生，要她给老外写email，总是喜欢把文字写得很出彩，各种语法从句层出不穷，还喜欢用冷僻词，让人理解都需要老半天。如果是英语为母语的客人或者德国、北欧这些英语很棒的客人还好一点，如果你写给韩国人日本人中东人法国人，那就要他们老命了，看一封邮件还得用上字典或翻译工具，还是半懂不懂，你说客人会对你印象好么？丘吉尔讲过一句话，具体的内容我忘了，大致的意思是，真正的高手，你要把最复杂的东西用最简单的文字表达出来，全部用最简单的句子，最简单的词汇，让小学生都能看懂。其实把简单的东西复杂化很容易，把复杂的东西简单化就不容易了，需要多学多模仿客人的邮件，用最简单的词汇来表达你要表达的东西。外贸函电的精髓就是，“简单简单再简单”，能用一个词表达的绝对不用两个词或短语，能用一句话写清楚的，绝对不写两句。谁能用最少的句子表达同样的意思，那就是最厉害的！举个例子吧，我以前招助理的时候，会考他们的email水平，我把中文意思告诉他们，然后让他们用英文来模拟一封邮件。内容很简单，写一封邮件告诉客人Mike，上次收到的样品已经寄给工厂了，但工厂说材料不是ABS，而是PP，价格他们需要重新核算，但近期内原材料涨价，希望您能尽快确认，我们好采购原材料并安排生产。 第一个应聘者是这样写的：Dear Mike,This is Jenny from EDF Co. Ltd. We're so pleased to receive your samples. I already sent them to our factory last week, and was informed the real material is PP, not ABS as you mentioned last time. What's the matter?I'll give you reply as soon as we get the offer from the factory. It will take several days. Please be more patient. But they also told me, theraw material increased these days. Could you please confirm the price quickly after you get it? We'll purchase the raw material and do the production immediately!Looking forward to your reply. Thank you!Best regards,Jenny这封邮件写得好么？老实说还可以，虽然主动语态和人称多了点，但是内容都点到了，表达也算通顺，用的词汇也都是挺简单的，不难懂。但是不是有点啰嗦？如果能简单一点，是不是更好？我们看看第二位应聘者写的email：Dear Mike,How are you?We received your all samples. The factory checked the details, and found the material was PP, not ABS as you told.Please give them some more time to re-check the price, because the material is different from the past orders. However, the material was increased very quickly! Therefore, please kindly place the order soon if the price is ok for you! We'll do production asap.Thank you in advance!Kind regards,Tommy这封呢？我个人觉得比上一封号一点，毕竟主动和被动语态结合，“We”只出现了一次，不算太枯燥。内容也稍微简单了一点，点到位了。最重要的是，他把purchase the raw material去掉了，直接用“We'll do the production asap.”这样更简洁，毕竟你要生产，能不采购原材料么？所以这是废话。缺点是，我个人感觉还是啰嗦了一点。我会这样写：Hi Mike,Samples received and already passed to vendor. The material was PP, not ABS. Offer sheet is preparing and will be sent to you soon.By the way, raw material increased these days, pls make a decision quickly to go ahead after price confirmed. We'll arrange the mass production asap.Thanks and best regards,C几句话点到主题，表达清楚就可以了。能用一句话表达的，千万不写两句，省掉一切能省的废话。写完以后其实可以读一遍，看哪句话可以删掉，哪句话可以换一种表达方式，少用第一人称，多用被动语态！等到你重新检查的时候，发现已经简单的不能再简单，没词可以删了，那就点“发送”吧~~ 只要做到“简洁”、“清楚”、“准确”，这就是一封好的email了。2. 5）喜欢用奇奇怪怪的字体。很多人为了追求醒目，总喜欢用很夸张的字体，颜色，甚至放大，加粗，再用斜体等等，其实一眼看上去会让人很不舒服。经常跟老外写email的人会发现，客人很少会用奇怪的字体或者粗体，甚至全部大写来写邮件，除了少数的尼日利亚、非洲客人，我还真没遇到过别的。欧美人一般比较常用的字体就是以下几种：Arial，Verdana，Calibri，Times new roman，也有一些用Tahoma字体的，但相对少一点。一部分台湾和香港客人会用PMingLiU这种字体。至于颜色，一般都是黑色或者蓝色，别在一封邮件里出现多种奇奇挂怪的颜色，像彩虹一样，看着不舒服。一般客人在邮件里特别加粗，或者大写，或者用红色标注的，肯定是特别强调的东西。比如有个客人的邮件如下：Dear C,Please help to send the samples to my HK office BEFORE THIS WEEKEND.Thanks.Rio这就很明显了，客人用大写的目的是为了提醒并强调，必须要周末前寄出！可能这封邮件很简单，你不太容易忽视，但是如果一封很长的邮件，里面详细确认各种规格的时候，突然加了一句要你周末前寄样品，是很容易被忽略的。6）主动语态用得太多。英文信函中，如果你仔细琢磨老外的行文方式，很少会充满We，I之类的人称的。相反要多用被动语态。 比如说，我们明天会寄你样品。中国人喜欢说We'll send you the samples tomorrow.这句话没错，语法正确，意思清楚，但是老外就不喜欢这样说。他们通常会这样写：Samples will be sent to you tomorrow.用得是被动语态，人称就没有了。7）经常会问一些毫无意义的话。比如Do you want our products？这句话被我列为最傻疑问句排行榜第一名。如果客人说No，你怎么回复？那就没下文了哦。而且本身你是去推销的，你希望客人感兴趣，你要引起客人的兴趣。但是这句话就大煞风景，等于一下子就把客人逼到了绝路上，一定要说是或者否。还有诸如Do you interested in our products? Are you sourcing for *****? How is your business recently? Would you like to cooperate with us? 这些都是毫无意义的话。开发信还是要直接一点，告诉客人你是谁，你做什么，你的优势在那里。只要清楚表述出这3点，就完全足够了。其他的东西可以以后慢慢谈。8）喜欢用附件和图片。附件和图片并不是不好，但是第一次发开发信的时候如果有附件或者插入了图片，很容易被国外的服务器拦截的。很多人喜欢第一次联系客人的时候就使用报价单，或者打包很多产品图片，或者发电子样本给客人，这样的成功率并不高，不是被默认为垃圾邮件，就是直接被客人删了。只有一种情况除外，当你收到一个新客人的询价的时候，那你回复的时候，就可以插入报价单或者图片了。第一次联系客人的时候最好全文本，不要出现任何的图片和附件。即使收到客人询价后第一次报价，如果不是客人指定，尽量避免用excel或word附件，最好是直接在邮件里写明。我一般会这样写：Item: Solar lantern with soft handleModel No.: HBC-294847/KTDescription:.................(把详细的规格写清楚)Package: color boxMOQ: 1,000pcsPcs/ctn: 20pcs/ctnCtn size: 50*40*60cmGW/NW: 20kg/18kgQ'ty/20': .... Q'ty/40': ...pcsLoading port: ShenzhenPayment terms: T/T, L/C, D/P, etc.Valid time: 60 daysFOB Shenzhen: USD2.39/pcCIF Valencia: USD2.45/pc以上是我随便写的，只是想说明一点，报价单少用，尽量用文字描述清楚，然后在附件里添加一张500K以下的清楚图片就可以了。这样做的好处是，避免很多懒的客人不去点开附件的word或excel报价单。其次防止客人把你的报价单随便转给别人套价格。如果客人要你报很多款产品，没法全部在邮件里写清楚的时候，那就只能用word或excel做报价单了，但是最好在完成的时候用acrobat生成pdf格式，这样就不容易改。因为很多老外比较懒，你辛辛苦苦花了大半天时间做个完整的报价单给他，他只要删掉其中price这栏，就会把它转给别的供应商报价。9）喜欢插入URL链接。很多朋友在写开发信的时候，总是会在内容里加上自己公司的网址，或者在签名的下面加上链接，这样做，同样有很大的概率被服务器拦截掉的！最好在客人回复后，第二次给他写邮件的时候插入这些就没问题了。10）语气过于生硬。其实邮件本身是比较死板的，在电脑面前阅读那些冰冷的字眼，和面对面的交谈或者电话沟通是完全不一样的。看一句话“Pls give me reply today.” 这句话如果面对面讲，客人不会觉得有什么问题，会很高兴说ok，或者no problem；如果电话里说，也不会有大问题；但如果放在邮件里，是不是略微生硬了一点点呢？如果改成"Could you please help to give me reply today?" 用的是疑问句，加上could, help这样的字眼显得十分委婉，但是又明确表达了你希望今天得到答复的准确意愿。这样不是更好么？所以"please, help, kindly, could, thank you, appreciate"这样的话在邮件来往中是很普遍的。除非你和客人已经非常熟了，偶尔客套一下即可，平常就可以不需要了。本文由()首发，转载请保留网址和出处！
