经过一段时间和福友门,外贸前辈的沟通我发现,我犯了个错误。
本来想借案例来让大家学习,谈论,可是却变成了误导。
声明: 1》本案例只代表本人和我的这一位尼日利亚客户的沟通流程,里面有很多偶然性,不代表本人从事外贸业务对待所有国家客户的态度。
2》本案例,我只是一次试验,我本身也没有对此客户报有很大希望。但是之前看过一句话:谁也不知道奇迹什么时候发生。不尝试就一点机会也没有了
看了前辈的案例后,总感觉像是亏欠了别人似的,所以也发一下自己的一个客户的案例吧。
小弟刚刚从事外贸大概6个月了,英语4级没有过,口语不行,只好书信往来(大部分还都是机器翻译工具帮忙)

(这封邮件语气和用词都很不太友好,一般的 业务员在第一次和客户沟通中是不怎么使用的)
