Hi Ami,

I would look those who respond quickly, If they slow before i place an order, then chances are they would be slow in delivery.

I would also look to see if they have corporate email or free email such as hotmail, yahoo, gmail..etc

Email is cheap, serious company wouldn't mind getting a proper domain name.

Cheers,

Remus

It depends on how the mail stand out from others. I would certainly open every single mail but I would only go thru the 1st 2 sentence on how you presents yourself. Advice is try to be as formal as possible so to show your sincerity, some supplier just don't have the will to write whereas some email would be as simple as "Hi, I'm xxxx, I can offered what you want. Kindly contact me!"

Another thing I would like to tell the suppliers is that try not to tell me EVERYTHING in your 1st mail. What's the point for me to contact you again if you tell me everything in your 1st mail?

Make your 1st mail clean, simple, and straight to the point.; currently my mailbox is only 100+ and still manageble but I heard that there was some buyer receiving more than 300+ mail per day and just to clear off all the mail would take hours or even days! So the TITLE is extremely IMPORTANT too so that ensure your mail won't be deleted or put into spam/junk mail.

oh yea, try to write an understandable and readable mail... What's the point having the best and cheapest products in the world IF you can't communicate it clearly?

Of course, for some detailed buying lead, reply to your quotation is partly determined by your language skills. I cannot comment on it since I am also new in the field and learning step by step. So experience and more communication with your customers will help you understand more of business ways.

I may choose some detailed quotations if I were the buyer. So everytime pls put up your offer first and later your company introduction. Buyers are interested in your products and quotations first of all other than a name or symbol which tells nothing they want to find out urgently.

Hope you can improve yourself soon. And do be frank with your buyers.

Sometimes I just get straight to the point. Believe me, I have started my letter like this;

Dear Mr blah  blah blah,

I am not going to beat around the bush nor am I going to waste your precious time reading my silly looking intro.

Attached is a detailed catalogue of our products .  If they interest you, our website and contact details are all in there.

As someone who uses this kind of "broadcast contact" method for certain serious



enquiries, I can only say that the service is extremely useful, especially when you are



sourcing suppliers of items/products you haven't handled before.




I'm not saying it's always possible to read all 100 messages out of 100 incoming



offers....most people already know - in their minds - which supplier they'd like to deal with, within 48 hours from receipt of their quotations. That obviously means certain others



get left by the wayside - that's business I guess. I think you know this works both ways.



Even for buyers, not every enquiry they get from one of their own clients turns into an



order....




This method of contacting suppliers - whether GOLD suppliers or not - is good for both the seasoned buyer and the newcomer:




(a) As a seasoned buyer, when I am looking for a new item, by getting in tens or hundreds of quotations, I am better able to judge which supplier to contact.

There is no set rule - by using due diligence and some of the knowledge I have, I narrow down on suppliers I'd like to deal with. Follow up includes chatting with them on MSN, etc.




This in itself will give you a good picture of what the particular supplier is all about -




in terms of service, product knowledge, follow up on samples requests, etc.

I personally also prefer to concentrate on suppliers whose factories are closer to Hong Kong - ie. Guangdong province. It makes life easier in terms of inspections, accessibility,




etc as well. That is not to say we do not deal with suppliers from other provinces - we do -




its just that our GD suppliers far outnumber the ones from other provinces!

(b) For the newcomer, contacting several suppliers for items which you have little or no knowledge about is also a great way to start acquiring the basics on that particular product. If you are new to an item/field, would you be satisified contacting just 3 or 4 suppliers ? If you have say 20-30 offers to choose from, you would already know which price bracket to aim for




(as most suppliers will be within a set range for basic item without value-added




features).





Hope this answers your question !
