Warm Tips:

1. 新产品最好也是有针对性的发给不同客户的市场;

如果罗列太多的特色卖点就相当于没有重点突出,也会让客户感觉产品的真实性;

3. 最好附上图文并茂的图片,让客户更加直观的了解;

4. 如果产品款式很多,可以做成彩页以附件的形式发送,多角度的展示产品。

第三章 报价篇

3.1 范围报价

什么时候用范围报价?

a.很多时候客户一封邮件过来就问产品报价,可是你对客户的具体需求、数

量等并不了解直接报价过去很冒失也显得不专业,这个时候可以直接先跟客

报一个范围价,再跟客户确认其具体需、订量。

好处:

a 这样一来竟回答客户的问题,二来也可以自然过渡你想要确认的东西

b 有些客户你跟他确认具体需求时客户就不是很配合一直盯着价格问,这时

候也可以先发一个范围报价过去。
客户询盘:

Hi, What is the price?

3.4 成本报价

1 什么时候用成本报价法?

国际图易中成本报价法一般还是用的比较少的,一般是针对中东、印度等这些经
常压价压得特别离谱的国家,或是谈价谈到最后客户还是坚持目标价没有任何让
步的余地,用成本报价法是能清楚明了的让客户知道你所报价的合理性。

Dear Kim,

To be honest, we are keen to win this order, however, we have no margin to reduce
this price again, and it's really a pretty reasonable price basic on such nice quality.

2 成本报价法注意事项

1.不要客户一询价就给成本报价

2.成本报价不要随便用,特别是此产品是你们公司的某种专利产品或技术机密的
产品

3.工程造价的项目产品可以用

4 成本报价不用把所有价格组成项目罗列的十分清楚,只需要一个大概的组成部
分即可,以避免被竞争对手获取而造成不必要的麻烦

案例:

在去年 12 月份在 google 上找了一个 UAE 的大客户,主动开发客户很有意向测样,


2 月份中旬跟客户确认各方面需求终于把样品发出去,从 3 月份到 6 月份进过样
品的各种测试,样品测试非常 OK,原本客户是非常有意向谈合作的,但是鉴于价
格问题谈了一段时间双方都做出了让步之后,虽然没达到客户目标价,客户也没
有再说价格问题,后面就是他们展会高峰时间,要全球各地的去参展,说等展会
回来之后 8 月份再确认订单,没想到回来之后他老婆大病一场,我们也不好怎么
特别跟进订单的事情,基本上都是 Whatsapp 上问候客户妻子,后面 10 月份的
时候,我有做一些近期其它市场客户反馈和市场信息的分享信息给到客户,客户
在 10 月低终于查看邮件,但还是没有任何反馈,后面在 whatsapp 上得知客户
已经回办公室上班,妻子大病已经好很多。也再次查看了一些我们沟通过的邮件,
本以为客户要回来谈合作,没想到半个多月过去了还是没任何反馈,后面我就写
了这份邮件,客户也很真诚的说出了他目前的一些顾虑和市场上遇到的困难,也
让我们找到此次合作的突破口,最终把大订单敲定下来。

Good Morning, Dear Max,

1.) 客户找你

Dear Willem,
Sample is no problem, I can apply 2Kg RTV-123 as your requirements. As my
company’s rules, Sample is in free of charge. Shipping cost will be afford by yourself.

As just checked UPS, it's 100$, or do you have your own account?

Pls advise it, tks in advance!

Tks &B.R

Smartsousou(外贸人的智慧搜索)

2.)你找客户

Dear Willem,

Sample is no problem,…同上

As just checked UPS, it's $100, here in order to show our sincerity, I will try my best
to apply if my company can share it by half and half, (or go 50 and 50 口语化表达)
that mean you only need to afforded $50 as the long time business investment, will
be that acceptable for you?

Ps: we support small amount by Paypal &Western Union.

Waiting for your reply soon.

Tks & B.R

Smartsousou(外贸人的智慧搜索)
价值说服法:

Hello Dear Willem,

Personally, I really want to support you. However, every company has his or her rules,
we can't break it as only one customer.

What's the price you buy the silicone from local market?

If it's higher $5/kg or above than us, and you can import 5tons/year, then

5*5000=$25,000

That means today you just need to pay 50$ which can help you save more than
25,000$ every year at least it's really worth to invest it. Pls kindly to re-consider it
again.

Waiting for your comments soon.

Tks &B.R

Smartsousou(外贸人的智慧搜索)

运费返回测试合作诚意:

Hello Dear Willem,

Personally, I really want to support you. However, affording half of the shipping cost
is the best efforts we can do for you.

Giving others opportunity is the same for yourself. And we are regret that we can't go
head as just the small amount $50, so, I have another proposal for you?

We'll return the rest shipping cost for you if your testing feedback is not good if I can
apply successfully to my company. What's your idea?

价。

Hi Janson,
We firmly believe you can get better price from others.

However, what you request price we really don't know how to go head.

Let me show you something different between our company and xxxx company.

1. Firstly: Quality Assrance

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Thirdly: International office to support you fast after-sales service

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx , pls check the attachments.

Dear Janson, we believe that you will be very happy to cooperate with such a
company who can take more responsibility, better quality assurance and more
convenient service, right?

Last, but most important for you. If you can order 8tons in a time, we can give you an
absolutely attractive price and competitive quality. So, could you test our sample at
first? so that you can check which one is really better for you, how’s your idea?

Sincerely

Smartsousou(外贸人的智慧搜索)

6.2 价值主导型谈价模板
Warm Tips:

强调价值,谈价值而不是一味的跟客户谈价格,说你的质量好、服务好,具

体化,量化,细化!

Dear Alice,

Tks for kindly to copy Tom’s email to me. Yes, it's not your mistyping. And this is
really the best BCD Silicone can support you even without any profit.

coz, they want to win a new opportunity.

But we don’t think it's a long time business relations, no one can do business without
any profit forever, for the first or two times that is ok. And stands on this eyes, it's
easy to find we really give you our best support.

And yes, this is the truth at moment, comparing to BCD and EFG, our RTV-123 seems
the highest price at moment. But my friend, Dear Alice, when you buy a product, the
most important for you it's to get its value not just a price, right?

Here, I can make example for you—

BCD Silicone: 20. 12$/kg---> 1500 copy times

EFG Silicone: 20. 25$/kg---> 1200 copy times

ABC Silicone: 20.98$/kg---> 2000 copy times

That mean, if you want to get 6000 copy times, you will take--

80.48$ for 4kg BCD Silicone;

101. 255 for 5kg EFG Silicone;

62.94s for 3kg ABC Silicone;

May we know which one is really cheaper for you?

Further more. below is our unquie advantages:

1)
2)

3)

Dear Alice, you are such wise business man and strong& professional in silicone filed.
We think the most important for you is to buy a reassurance &stable quality,
especially for chemical products, right?

And I trust you will chose the most suitable &valuable silicone for your market, yeah?

Pls post your idea, tks!

6.3 间接让步式谈价模板

Warm Tips:

此谈价法,是本身价格已经无法再降,为了保证长远利益,也为了第一次合作,
则可从运费或付款方式上做让步;但是价格坚定立场。

1.有条件的让步

2.从运费或付款方式上让步

Dear Jim,

Yes, FOB Shenzhen 20$/kg is really our bottom price, as nothing is much more
important than the practical values that our products can bring your market. Yes? If
we could not cooperate just because of the price, we think it is really a big pity for
both of us for the long term business relationship.

For us---we will lose a potential &valuable customer.

For you-- you will lose a stable and believable supplier.

As we both of us pay a lot of time and energy to reach the cooperation. So, shall we
make a compromise to start the first cooperation?

If you can enlarge your qty from 800kg to 1000kg, we can bear 100$ for the shipping
cost and support you this payment terms 50% T/T in advance and the balance against
the B/L copy at sight. How’s your idea?

Waiting for your comments soon.

Tks &B.R

让步式谈价核心点:
1 有理有据

2 不卑不亢,友好和谐

3.同时也可留给客户一点紧迫感,促进双方合作步伐

Dear Gehard,

Good Afternoon &Thanks very much for your call in the morning!

Regarding to your worries on the costings, we sincerely understand your position on


this tough point. With our communications via phone calls & emails, especially your
visit to our factory, I think you and our company are already very good friends.
Personally speaking, I do not want to make my customers feel disappointed. As to
make a friendly start on our long-term co-op, we'd be happy to reach a compromise
on the price for our last further step on negotiation---

FOB Shenzhen xxx USD/KG basic your qty=5tons

Package:

Expiring Time:

Delivery Time:

Validity: 15 days

Currently Exchange Rate:

Dear Gehard, pls kindly believe that the price is really our bottom breaking price.

As you know, we have to protect every customer's interest and meanwhile to avoid
the vicious price wars, each company has to fix a local price rule on the products for
every single target market, including ours, Yes?
Pls sincerely understand our tough position.

Furthermore, a decision from our board of directors will soonly come into being. Due
to the continuous increase on our Chinese Currency, we are going to re-adjust on our
dollar-denominated price in the coming December, 2014. Pls kindly be noted. Thank
you!

Dear Gehard, Wishing our friendly business talk this time will lead us to final co-op.

However, if bottom price still can't acceptable at your side, and you can find some
other suppliers who can offer you cheaper price but satisfactory quality, pls just feel
free to let us know. We will also be happy for you, even though it would be a pity for
us both sides. As we can be good friends, and we are already good friends since our
last friendly meet in our factory, right?

Pls advise your idea. Thanks!

Regarding to your worries on the costings, we sincerely understand your position on
this tough point. With our communications via phone calls & emails, especially your
visit to our factory, I think you and our company are already very good friends.
Personally speaking, I do not want to make my customers feel dispointed. As to make
a friendly start on our long-term co-op, I have try my best effort to apply my
company to reach a compromise on the price for our last further step on
negotiation—

Since your target price is 20. 28$/kg, while 20.88$ is our best price, right?

(20.18+20.88)$/2=20.53$/kg

So, 20,53$/kg will be the reasonable price to show both side's sincerity for the
cooperation.

Pls post your idea. tks in advance!

6.6 二选一式谈价模板

Warm Tips:

当谈价几个来回之后客户依然坚持,为打破这种僵局可采用多从组合或二选一的
方式来促进订单进展。

Dear Sherif,

We totally believe that you can find cheaper price from China, as there are really
some new companies showing up. Meanwhile, as for the increasing cost of raw
material and labor, and the decreasing exchange currency rate, the rise of the price is
a tendency. It means the best quality would need the highest-quality labor, the best
equipment and raw material.

And also we definitely believe you would agree that there is no cheap pricing for best
product, since there is no deal if there is no profit, right? Just like Dow-corning
silicone, who is the famous brand with good reputation & high price in the world, but
it's also a perfect quality.

Dear Sherif,

1. As we know your month consumption is 2T/month, right? So, if you can increase
the trail order from 1.5T to 2T;

we can support CIF Manila xxx $/kg to start our first cooperation and support you as
the experiential marketing, so that you can have enough samples &time to test it.

2.If you stick to YY$/kg, we have another kinds product can meet your requirements,
just color and duplication times will be little lower than the first one.

Pls post your idea, tks in advance!

6.7 客户鉴证式谈价模板

Warm Tips:

1 所鉴证客户一定是要不在同一个市场同时跨区域很远

2 所鉴证客户最好把客户抬头信息隐藏起来

3.此客户如有签协议是不能用来做客户鉴证的

Hello, Dear Jim,

Honestly, this price is really very reasonable basic on this nice quality silicone. Since
you know high quality products need high quality material, advanced equipment,
hi-tech talents technical, excellent workers etc. This is why we become more and
more popular in the market.

Attached is the Pl &bank receipt from one of our customer who is the 2nd big
distributor in USA and he always order from us 8tons/month as the same silicone you
wanted. It's easy for you to find which FOB Price is 20$/kg. We know Asia is different
from USA market, and you need a better price that customer can accept it.

Jim, my dear friend, our profit is really very low based on your quality, now if you cut
1$/kg, we will no any profit and it will be rejected by our financial dept. coz, it seems
no meaning to accept this order, which not only makes our workers tired but occupy
capital. If we force ourselves to accept this order, we may have to bring down the
quality to average our cost.

So, Dear Jim, 19.58$/kg is already our best price, pls kindly evaluate our price again.
Tks & B.R

小技巧让客户尽快确认订单。

Dear Stefan,

Good morning!

This is Smartsousou(外贸人的智慧搜索), Ms jesse's manager from ABC Silicone Co,


Ltd.

Thanks very much for your kind support to our company and our work!

We feel greatly honored to have the chance to offer you service on RTV-2 Silicone
Rubber Material.
Thanks for your good news on the sample test. Nothing is much more important than
the practical values that our products can bring your market, right?

Regarding to the Quotation Record Jesse discussed with you on last week—

EXW 20.18xx $/kg basic on your qty=3tons

To be frank, Jesse already did her best to support you. Since the 3rd plenary session of
the 18th of Chinese CCP just finished, and there are a very important new policy for
us. In order to keep Chinese silicone supply of essential, government will restrict
silicone and its export amount from next year. So all export tax rebating os silicone
will be canceled. Thus, all the price of silicone raw material will go up on Jan of 2014.
In order to survive, we also have no choice to adjust the price from 1st of Jan, 2014,
and I think you can find a large scale suppliers relative silicone filed increasing his
price under this policy, pls kindly noted.(虚实结合给客户紧迫感)

We know your big holiday Xmas is at hand, so, time is urgently for both of us to
confirm this order. Here, as a sales manager, I don’t want to discuss more abt this
price with you. EXW 19. 08usd/kg is the bottom price I can give you directly If you
can order before23 rd December(有条件的让步)

Pls post your idea, tks in advance!

Warm Tips:

对于一些大客户,一直谈价的,可以总经理的身份、以公司名义给业务员的邮件,
制造一种我们内部沟通的假象。让客户相信这个价格真的是最低价,有一种赚到
的感觉、一种贏的感觉。

"I am afraid that he is dead, "said the doctor.

Hearing this, the man moved his head and said: "I'm not dead. I'm still alive.”

“Be quiet," said the wife. "The doctor knows better than you!

11.6 中国传统佳节的分享

第一封:

Hello My dear friend, Joan,

Today is a special day for Chinese! Chinese Valentine’s Day *^___^*


Have you hear it before? Here let me share the beautiful love story with you as
follow:

On the evening of the seventh day of the month in the Chinese lunar calendar, don't
forget to look carefully at the summer sky. In the Western calendar, that falls on
August 20th this year. You'll find the Cowherd (a bright star in the constellation
Aquila, west of the Milky Way) and the Weaving Maid (the star Vega, east of the
Milky Way) appear closer together than at any other time of the year.

Chinese believe the stars are lovers who are permitted to meet by the Queen of
Heaven once a year. That day is also called the "double seventh (Qixi in Chinese), and
it is the only Chinese festival devoted to love in the lunar calendar. In modem times,
it has been called Chinas own Valentine’s day!

The legend holds that an orphaned cowherd was mistreated by his elder brother and
sister-in-law, who eventually gave him an old ox and chased him out. The cowherd
worked hard, and after only a couple of years he owned a small farm and house. But
he was lonely, with only the company of his faithful old ox.

One day the ox suddenly opened its mouth and talked, telling the cowherd that the
heavenly Weaving Maid and her sisters wore going to bathe in river. The Weaving
Maid was said to be the youngest of the seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven.
With her sisters, she worked hard to weave beautiful clouds in the sky.

The ax told the cowherd that he should go there to rob the Weaving Maid of her
clothes while she was in the water. In exchange for the return of her clothes, she
would become his wife. Surprised, the cowherd willingly followed the ox's
instructions and hid himself in the reeds at the riverbank, waiting for the girls to
bathe.

第二封:
The girls came, and as they were splashing about. The cowherd rushed out of the
reeds and grabbed the Weaving maid's clothing In panic, the sisters dashed to their
clothes, hurriedly put them on, and ran away.

The Weaving Maid, deprived of her clothes, stood on the riverbank and tried to cover
herself with her hair. The cowherd told her that he would not return her clothes
unless she promised to be his wife. After a little hesitation, she agreed to his request
and they married.

The cowherd and the Weaving Maid lived happily together and had two children
before the Queen of Heaven discovered the Weaving maid's absence. She was so
annoyed that she had the Weaving Maid brought back to heaven.

Seeing his beloved wife flying back to the sky, the cowherd was terrified and sad. He
caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall.

The magical ox had told him before dying of old age, “Keep the cowhide for
emergency use.”

Putting the cowhide on, the cowherd, with his two children, went after his wife. With
the help of the cowhide, the cowherd was able to follow the Weaving Maid into
heaven. He was about to reach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off
her hairpin to draw a line between the two. The line became the Silver River in
heaven, or the Milky Way.

The Weaving Maid went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the
clouds. But she was so sad and missed her husband across the Silver River so much
that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Finally, the Queen showed mercy and
allowed the couple to meet once every year on the Sliver River on the double
seventh.

Magpies were moved by their true love and many of them gathered to form a bridge
over the Silver River for the couple to meet on the evening of Qixi.
It's said that it's hard to find a magpie at that time in China, because all magpies fly
to make the bridge for the Weaving Maid and the cowherd. And if it rains heavily on
Qixi night, some elderly Chinese will say it is because the Weaving Maid is crying
from happiness over meeting her husband on the Milky Way.

How do you think about this story? Does it a big different between yours, pls?
