前段时间通过外贸邦海关数据开发了一个印度的客户,客户在当地有一定的规模。虽然同事陆陆续续的跟进了有1个多月,但一直没有得到回复,就打算让我试试。
其实我们都是知道,大客户必然有无数的备选供应商在等候,想要赢得这个机会是很难的,但也不是完全没机会。重点的是要学会找突破口。
我简单的分析了一下我们的优劣势,感觉无法从产品方面入手。因为大买家的供应商,比我们专业的比比皆是。我自认为无法通过简单的一封邮件或几封邮件能吸引客户。因此我决定打感情牌,放低姿态,专业性的东西说明白就行。
在构思第一封邮件时,我采用了纯文本的形式没有加图和附件,看能否通过这封邮件打动客户。我是这样写的:
Hi XXX,
I believe your projects shouldn’t just be a slam dunk for massive manufacturers, but an opportunity for the underdogs, too.
That’s why I’m still trying to contact you to make quotes and sampling for Car aluminum light.
And to sweeten the pot, I’m okay to accept the trial order with low MOQ. I will also send you some more files- our catalogue, price list, testing report, etc- in separate emails.
Kindly contact me for any further questions.
Best regards,
XXX
首先,在第一段我们先吹捧对方一波,打一下感情牌。拉近与客户的关系。其次,在第二段开门见山表明目的,这样做的好处是让客户了解你发这封邮件的目的,从而吸引客户继续读下去。
在第三段中,我加了一些专业指导,这是向客户展现我们的专业能力。增加筹码,吸引客户读下去。最后,直接收尾,不要有太多废话,简洁自然就好,但要保持基本的态度和礼节就行。
这封邮件发出后不久就收到了这样一封回复:
Hello,
Do you only make stainless steel?
You do plating on stainless steel?
Can you also give me your price list?
Thanks,
这就是一个好的开始,后期我们只要继续按这个思路跟进,就不会有太大的问题。
对于报价没有回复的客户,我一般会按下面的步骤进行跟进的:
1.常规的跟进,询求客户对价格的看法,记得长话短说。比如:Can you please let us have your comments on the offer we sent on +月日?
2 .如果客户继续不回复: May I know if you get my offer on+月日?I am attaching again herewith the offer for your reference. Hope to get your feedback soon.
3.继续不回复,打不死的小强精神起来。利用报价的有效期说事。Friendly reminder on the validity date. Can you please further advise if the price is workable for you? Price will be invalid on+时间
4.好咯,继续不吭声。发最新产品/宣传册子,最新出货记录照片,尺寸要控制在1MB以内/目录控制在3MB以内。
Here is our newest model which will be in the market soon. 或Just shipped 1 container to your country and please see some photos for your reference. Any news from you?
5. 可以发展厅样板照片,并说:Well organized showing room and free samples are ready for your quality checking. 或者 Busy at the ** fair these day. Do you have any purchase plan?
6.对于有潜力或者比较大的采购商,可以主动表示提供免费样板。
7.设法得知客户的Facebook或Instagram,可以在上面关注下他们的动态,从网友的互动做起。
8.雷达不动,可以开门见山:Much appreciated if you can further offer some comments. Then I can know if you still get interested in our products. Otherwise I will stop to bother you. 开门见山,直接问他意见,不然停止写邮件给他了。
