Also pay attention.
But I think the first question, the customer basically has no news, which is normal.
Someone just made you an offer and then ignored you. As for letters and telegrams, everyone writes them one by one. I am here to post a successful example for you. From FOB Shanghai Forum, you can go there for help. They are all engaged in foreign trade.
The following is the content of the post:
Many people on the forum always have some questions about the success rate of quotation and how to operate the quotation procedure. Why don't customers reply to the quotation? Why do guests only ask for quotations at first, and don't ask for other information? In fact, the quotation procedure should only be based on the fact that the guest has confirmed the order quantity with you, has clearly ordered, is sincere and has port information. A freight forwarder or offered to let you contact the freight forwarder. It means that you should also quote the approximate sea freight. At this time, your quotation can completely meet the other party's purpose.
Importers, except those with purchasing plans. Many people are just ready to explore the market in their country or region. This means that your quotation is sometimes just a backup, or you can compare your quotation with other products, or trading companies can collect suppliers. Some just make their own products, and you are his competitors in different regions. He needs your price to compare his pricing.
For example, this inquiry.
Hello,
Please send me a complete price list.
thank you
Middle East/West Africa/Wholesalers who just want to set prices will have such letters.
The best way is to give them the website, let them choose the amount of money and report it to them one by one.
Thank you for sending your product catalog to:
LJ development
thank you
This is just a letter to collect factory information. If you are a trading company and have no atlas, you can also use the website to trade with each other.
Thank you for your email. Our next visit to China is in September and October, so we may see you at the fair.
Such a letter must belong to old China. If you are here to purchase, ask to see the factory. If you have a bad relationship with the factory or the factory has the right to export, you don't have to pay attention to them.
Dear Mr. Liu
Thank you very much for your email and the following details.
In fact, we will not stock genuine leather products, because many of our customers need animal-friendly products. Therefore, could you please give me a revised quotation with the following requirements: fake leather fireproof interior decoration fabric, 304 polished stainless steel frame and British fireproof foam filling (the density is as follows)? I think this quotation will be much lower, because we will no longer use genuine leather. This will also enable me to price the chairs so that I can order more quantities from you.
Regarding your other products, please give me quotations for all other products except HZ-CF00 1. In addition, please let me know whether you also make two-seat and 1 seat versions with product number HZ-OS000 1. If so, please give me quotations for these products. In addition, please let me know if this project (HZ-OS000 1) has different colors. Similarly, please give me a quotation of fake leather fireproof interior decoration fabric and fireproof foam, as well as 304 polished stainless steel frame.
The British port of delivery may be Felixstowe or Southampton.
In addition, please find some other questions I hope you can answer below.
1. What is the sample availability/cost?
2. Do you have an agent in England?
Do you export to other European countries?
Will you attend any trade exhibitions in the next few months?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you very much and extend my cordial greetings.
You must pay attention to such a letter, and the other party will indicate the payment number, order quantity and port information for comments. It can be said that it is very sincere. When such a list is handled, it will definitely draw a conclusion and even hopefully make a sample list. But in fact, I didn't operate this reply very well at that time. If it is today, I will execute the sample list immediately. But I have written more than 30 letters to each other, and my feelings are getting better and better. I'd better show each other around the factory. We haven't made our first deal yet.
Dear Joe:
We notice that you are making upholstery furniture. Do you have a leather bed or a leather dining chair?
The target price of dining chair is $65438 +05.

This letter was written to me by a trading company in Malaysia. Actually, this is more difficult to operate. They have quantity, but they also have target price. They and their customers have fixed the price, and if they want to find a supplier, they will make a difference. Therefore, if trading companies want to make this price, they will survive in the cracks and cannot make a profit.
Hello, Joe,
Thank you for your greeting. I didn't know it was a special day in China, so I also said "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" to you! I guess the seasons and calendars are different from those in Europe.
We have just finished this summer!
I have talked to other people about sofas and chairs, and they are all interested, but like me, they want to see and evaluate them before buying. Therefore, I wait for my forwarder's instructions on transportation, and then I will confirm the order and pay 30% deposit.
I guess it must be around 0 1 in China, so good night or ... good morning.
You will hear from me soon.
salute

Belgians like to combine work and pleasure, and their letters have a good sense of humor. I'm good at considering your side. Such a person usually talks about work, anger and romance when he sees him. They will also place an order for you then.
The other category is retailers preparing to open stores. Such customers are generally ready to open a shop, buy some samples, and wait for customers to place orders for them. So generally speaking, they reply quickly, but to place an order, they have to have a series of plans, register a company and apply for a patent. It usually takes a while to buy your samples (in fact, they are going to start this business after they have customers, and they will find suppliers to help them solve their orders and earn the difference). I may meet such guests the most.
Dear Joe:
