针对客户的讨价还价的回复
Dear sir,
Sorry for my late reply,i discu with our bo for a long time, but regarding the price,it is near our bottom line,you know the market is changing everyday,and it is hard to cut more on cost as we need the products with best quality.
But we treasure our first cooperation,so we allow you a 2%discount,this is the best i can do for you.
I hope that if you have the will to cooperate,pls don’t just focus on the price,the most important is the quality,i think.
If you any comments ,pls let me know. Thanks and regards Angela
这个得针对情况，如果利润真的不太高，就这样写没有关系，如果老板太黑了，就给点折扣，关于价格不是一封两封的邮件可以搞定的，总之灵活点啦
应对客户的迟迟不回复的邮件: Dear sir,

So pls can you take some time to give me a reply?and kindly give me some advice on XX(products)
Look forward your reply Thanks and regards Angela

谈谈开发信的事情
还蛮感谢大家，我要继续努力啦，不然对不起版主，呵呵
其实我也还是做外贸就10月左右，所以经验什么的都不是很成熟，在总结自己的同时希望帮到比我还新的朋友，前辈不要拍我板砖哦。
发开发信要先找邮箱，至于找邮箱呢，我觉得至今用的比较顺手的是用各国邮箱的后缀（自己搜一下，太长了不好发上来）和一些好的黄页，有些朋友反映用邮箱后缀找不到，那是因为你要分析一下你们的产品在哪里很畅销，用的比较多。比如我们的产品水井管在沙特 等中东产石油的地方用的多，那么就那些国家的公共邮箱后缀，搜出来比较多。
其实我觉得开发信这个东西就像我们国内做电话销售一样，我想每个外贸人都很讨厌每天一大堆的网络推广电话，我想老外和我们应该是一样的心情。所以我觉得做外贸的不容易的，每天辛辛苦苦找邮箱发开发信，而且还被人讨厌，看都没看就删了。有的说喜欢简短的开发信，有的喜欢有点专业性的比较长一点的开发信，至于到底怎么样，我有两种版本经常换着发，要多多准备几封进行追踪，邮箱最好设上阅读回执，对有阅读回执的邮件进行追踪，几周几个月时不时的骚扰一下。要用不同的版本，要不发一样的，看不看都删了，没什么新意。我开发信的内容很大众化就不贴上来了。呵呵
还有一点是开发信得主题，反正我不喜欢什么how are you，Hi，my friend，什么的，就用产品名称，或者用RE：貌似比较有效果，呵呵，还有可以突发奇想，比如有一天我用的标题是your water need treatment,（我们做水处理过滤产品的）结果发过去一会就有人回复说介绍一下详细catalog 什么的。当然可能是运气什么的
发开发信需要坚持，不要没有效果就放弃然后再抱怨怎么没效果啊没效果啊，因为开发信本身的是一个概率问题，成功率本身就比较低的。所以那句话叫什么来着 广撒网才能网大鱼。前辈的话是有道理的。
有时间我整理一下自己的邮件或者用的好的黄页再分享给大家，呵呵先写到这吧，有时间再写，不能一下午光更新，呵呵
