加拿大外贸
前序:最近,老听到一些爱学习的朋友说,他们的英语好象不怎么行了,而且一些原来读商务英语的朋友在给客户写邮件的时候都好象遇到了困难。自己想了想,好象自己的写作水平也在退步,尤其一些函电该怎么写才能把那封信变得漂漂亮亮呢?因此,突然有种想法,就是每天摘录一封函电信件并附上注解,好让自己有个加深记忆的复习,同时也能让更多的刚加入外贸的师弟师妹们一个学习的机会,同时也想让那些已经在外贸行业打滚多年的老前辈们出来给点实际的意见和交流,谢谢!
如果喜欢这个帖的朋友们,那就请留下你们的小脚印吧!开始的时候,我想在我的Q-ZONE里帖,但是想了想,QQ上的朋友们更多的喜欢是轻松愉快的东西,或许要找到懂得欣赏这个帖的朋友应该在这里,所以又转到这里来了。
PS:我个人觉的,其实外贸,不外乎就几个步骤:introduction (开发新客户),enquiry (询盘),offer (报价),counter-offer (还盘),之后就是洽谈合作的各项细节,谈好了当然就是签contract,之后就备货、生产、出货。但是,在我认为,销售的洽谈这个环节是至关重要的,尤其当你开发一个新客户的时候,一封漂亮好的邮件就更是吸引欧洲客户眼球的亮点!
如果不认同我的看法的朋友,也可以紧跟着发表下你的意见和看法!
