Hello, cottonman,

This is polyester girl, I've just engaged in exporting textiles for less than 4 months.Therefore not much I can share with you. But I found one thing is quite special and crucial while dealing with different customers from different countries.

PRICING

Everytime when I received any inquiries , I always show my best price easily and honestly also sillily.Because I am so afraid that high price would scare my protential customer away.After many setbacks, I finally realize that showing your bottom line at very beginning is still OK and workable but only for those who are really professional at textiles or those who really know your products well. But when you are doing business with some people from some certain countries,never do that .Because they believe and take it for granted if you want to do business with them , you should always give discounts or say goodbye.I think maybe they just enjoy the bargaining and as a service provider, we should try our best to satisfy them. So don't show your ace easily Play with them

 

Thanx, Patty. Good advice. I actually do this. But what I found is many potential buyers send requests and the vanish without any explanation.

Dear cottonman:

 Price offer is always a dilemma for most of us. But if your price doesn't go too far, I believe that the real customers won't vanish easily especially when they see the good specialities of your  products.

Now in my company, if a customer just send his inquiry keep on asking the price and price all the time (believe it or not , many people did that), then we will give up this customer.Because he is not ours, it's just waste time.We only send out our samples to those not only care about the price but care about the quality and added value that our company  creates more.

However , that 's the situation I met . But it could be very different  depending on the different products and also the strategy of your products.It's always good for us to exchange or discuss any opinions.

Also hope the experienced experts in the forum could share their views or experiences more
