外贸职业生涯连载(3)–第一封开发信

跟很多外贸新人一样,熟悉了产品,熟悉了公司(工厂),就要开发客户了。

两个问题:邮箱从哪儿来?该发什么内容?

补充一点:我所在的公司在我来之前没有业务员。所有的业务量来自于老板,或者美国的业务员发来的订单。另外就是香港的展会。2017年香港秋季灯饰展,副总带回来不少名片。于是,这些便是我开发的住战场了。

外贸实战

在发什么内容上,副总虽然给了一些建议,但是更多的内容是我在网上搜索的。阿里巴巴外贸圈、福步外贸论坛,都是资源集中的地方。我尝试着发出第一封开发信,并且抄送了老板jack(关于jack往后再说),密送副总。

外贸邮件怎么发

就这样发出了10封开发信,实际上也只有10个名片。远在美国的老板,给我回复了一封邮件,并且在微信里说,我给你修改了一下开发信,言下之意,我的不够好,我贴出来,让大家欣赏,并讨论一下。

老板修改之后的开发信:

不知道大家觉得怎么样,反正在我看来是中规中矩。只不过更加突出,介绍了下公司的优势。不过论坛里有人说,自己夸自己不怎么样,别人夸你才算是真的夸,可以在介绍里面加上一些大公司是我们的客户,有这样的背书,才会更好。

坛子里的大神说;

开发信是敲门砖,不要忽略几个要点:1.我是谁2.我要告诉你一件什么事 3.对你有什么好处。这是最基本的点,如果是推荐产品,还要给客户4.产品的买点 5.为什么要买。6.为什么现在买。

看了这些建议之后,我的卡发信改为了。
