Dear Sxxxx,


Nice day. Thank you for your prompt response. I appreciate your interest in our products and services.


I have a question: about the last price list(8-13),① do you mean the only concern of yours is the price and you could accept our payment terms? ② please help confirm it.


Besides, in fact, the prices in the last price list have been competitive in your market and it is  best prices i could offer to  you③ , if you are pleased to believe us and aim to  cooperate with us , we surely try our best to serve for you.


Therefore, firstly, we want to know your comments about our last price list; secondly,what about you new order,such as specific items and delivery time, we need know,becsuse it is related to our arrangement and adjustment.


In the result,  i will report to our boss after your comments and reply to you with our sincerelity.I am more than happy to discuss further to ensure we meet your needs and expectations.


Thanks  a lot.
一,先说说表达的问题:
①*(8-13)不是英文表示日期的方法,13th, Aug.
②,do you mean the only concern of yours is the price and you could accept our payment terms? 这个表达很没有礼貌,而且要让客户确认他是不是only在乎价格。对于印巴客户,包块非洲客户这样直白的表达,客户可能觉得无碍,但面对欧美客户,这种表达,客户有一种被羞辱的感觉,因为他们内心是傲娇的。无论是哪里的客户,最好避免这种表达。
③,在前文的跟踪邮件里,我们曾经许诺客户会提供Nice prices,这是吸引客户回复的原因,但是这里又告诉客户价格已经是最好的了。这会让客户认为是一种戏耍,或者不严谨不尊重。哪怕心里是这么想的,也不应该这么表达出来。
④,下文的表达是想知道客户对之前价格的反馈,客户新订单的计划,具体的产品和交期,接着向老板反馈再看看是否能达到客户的预期。


邮件分析:


这位外贸人是从跟单转做业务,很有想法的外贸人,在和我沟通的来往中,我能感觉到他在很多事情上的不自信,或者说是缺少自己的想法,
就好像这句话:do you mean the only concern of yours is the price and you could accept our payment terms?
我们反过来想想,如果我们作为买方,对方直接问,你只看价格吗?我们买方会是怎样的想法。(当然有一种西式幽默的说法是:"我们可以从别家采购价格低的产品给你,但我记得你曾经说过是要top quality products的,you must know the price tells the quality."),这是在充分了解客户的习惯以后的轻松表达。


我记得他告诉我想做业务不想做跟单的原因是:感觉自己一直被业务人员指挥,不喜欢这种被人指挥或者听命于人的感觉,那我想借此邮件说的一件事是:业务面对所有人时必须是hold住全场的,这是职位和角色给这类人群的定位,对于这些已经很明显的问题:客户是比较在意价格的,心领神会,但要尽可能多的去找突破口,找可以让客户做出让步和妥协的因素。


top quality其实是一个很好的突破口,客户并不想要质量差的产品。从他发给我的客户名字来看,很明显是一位非洲的名字,但客户当前在南美国家,但非洲人根深蒂固的想法一定会有,但同时又能接受新的理念是:一分价钱一分货。这是很好的。


由于这是一封主动开发信获得的客户,客户回复了前面几封邮件以后就没有回复了,我们在开发过程中要同时兼顾很多事情,不断的让客户产生购买意向,同时也要更多的让客户有回复邮件的冲动,还要适当的介绍自己的产品。所以我并不反对他用价格上的优惠来吸引客户做回复。但以价格作为引子,又不能一直在价格上绕。


在书写这封邮件时,要整理一个思路,先找到一个突破口,短短几封邮件,客户很好的明示了;top quality products。
一、所以第一个思路是围绕top quality products介绍自己产品在工艺、技术、原料方面的明显优势,这是这封邮件不可缺少的(这也是我一直跟这位外贸人强调的要深入产品)。因为只有把这个基调定好了,后面才好切入到产品,避免在价格上的过分谈判。
第二个需要回复的是产品价格问题,毕竟我们已经把这个问题摆在明面了,不可能回避,当然也不可能像上面的邮件里说的,“这已经是我们最好的价格了“,让客户带着怨气看邮件的事情还是尽量少做。


二、外贸人发的上一封邮件,我是刚刚看到,就延续上封邮件的in demand和供应商愿意提供好的价格,原因是大规模生产和大批量的原材料采购可以降低成本(所以reduction in prices),只是这需要结合其他的采购情况来定,所以正好可以引入what about you new order,such as specific items and delivery time, we need know,becsuse it is related to our arrangement and adjustment. 不用这么直白,可以问问客户当前常规或者未来的采购数量和具体的items,毕竟不同的items和数量价格完全不同,该外贸人一直觉得客户的采购意向不强,但是我们需要用正当的理由去了解客户更多的信息,我们掌握的信息越多,突破的可能性越多。


另外注意客户的表达;so that i can comment on the prices. 客户还是有一丝买方的优越感的,所以在我们询问item & quantity之后,可以继续照顾这种优越感:to expect your any comment on our prices.这属于增加客户回复可能性的部分。


三,在这封邮件时,要预想客户在未来发来具体的数量后的报价问题,如果公司不允许降价或者不能给客户经常降价的印象,下封邮件该怎么写好



另外,老生常谈的问题,客户的邮件里都没有对外贸人的称呼,下封邮件可以着重强调一下自己的名字, i am xxx。
