[em10] I am from China, and I have been in the job as a foreign trader.

I am a little confused about contacting with foreigners. I have some customers, but when I gave them the quotation list, then no reply again.

Could you some one tell me what can I say in the following email ? i have nothing to say just say did you receive my email and how about our quotation, then no words.

Just a little confused.

Hope some can help me.

My experience here,share for all friends.

1)Patience.need to wait sometime

2)Seek the chance,after waiting  a long time,send email to customer to confirm that if he received your email or not but no need to ask too many questions since if he has interest for your products he would contact you in future

3)every some time,email to customer attached your company latest products,and indicate your products advantages in details

Below is just my opinions.Hope it can help you.

Hello Dear ,

                     Well i do not know what product you are selling but if the buyers are not answering you the reason could be you asked for 100 % tt in advance thats why they scared of scam.I am also the buyer but some one if asked for 100 advance then i do not reply them because i do not know whats the security.Hope this is the answer for your question.

Thanks

For me, if the price in the quote is high, I do not respond.

If the price is low, I will get more information, and possibly order samples to check the quality.

So, give me your best price in the quote, or lose your chance of doing business with me.
