外贸从同行手里挖客户的开发信该怎么写
关于外贸开发信的分析
当客户已从同行处购买同类产品时,一方面确认客户有产品需求及即时采购计划是好消息,另一方面客户可能对现有供应商满意而不愿更换,此时介入难度大且需经客户反复考验。
那么如何写出有吸引力和高回复率的开发信以建立联系并争取销售机会呢?
大型采购商的情况
大型采购商对供应商管理通常为:有主要供应商占 60-70%采购量,次要供应商占 20-30%,还有第二替补供应商占 10%左右。一旦主供应商出问题,会迅速培养次要和第二替补。业务员需了解自身公司是否匹配,即是否有实力成为该采购商供应商。若有实力,目标是成为 10%的第二替补,需反复考察质量、服务等,同时要仔细分析客户产品和市场定位、现有供应商短板等。
几个切入方向
1. 不断开发适合市场需求的新品推荐给客户,若被选中可顺利建立关系。
2. 考察客户网站,关注用户对现有产品反馈和投诉,尝试解决不被重视或无法解决的问题。
3. 研究客户销量大的产品,看能否在保证质量下大幅降低成本以吸引客户。
中小型采购商的情况
相比大型采购商,数量较少且情况不同,如可能是老板本人或专门采购经理,且不同中小型采购商市场定位不同,关注的供应商资质和产品也不同。老板或家族成员采购更关注实惠,职业采购经理则关注责任和职务升迁,不太愿为降低成本冒更大风险,需提供更多说明材料。
第一封开发信要点
要突出自身优势,给客户充足理由,开发信要开门见山点出能带来的好处并提供充分论据。如推荐新品:
