很多外贸业务员不是不懂产品,而是卡在英语上:开发信写不出、客户问价答不顺、跟进不知道说什么。其实外贸英语不需要多高级,会那几百个高频句型和模板就够了。本文整理外贸开发、报价、跟进、谈判全流程的实用英语,拿来就能用。

一、开发信:第一封邮件怎么写?

开发信的核心是"简洁、说清你是谁、为什么要找你"。记住这个结构:

Subject(主题行):

Body(正文模板):

Dear [Name],

This is [Your Name] from [Company], a manufacturer of [产品] with [X] years of export experience.

We noticed that your company imports [相关产品]. Our products have been exported to [国家/地区] and are well received by customers like [知名客户/市场].

Attached is our catalog and best quotation for your reference. We can offer [卖点:认证/定制/交期].

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
[Your Name]

要点:第一封别写太长,3-5句话;别群发,称呼写对客户名字;附上产品图或目录,比纯文字有说服力。

二、报价邮件:客户问价怎么回?

客户问"How much is your price?",别只回一个数字。规范报价邮件:

Dear [Name],

Thanks for your inquiry. Here is our quotation:

- Product: [产品名+型号]
- Price: USD [价格] per [unit] FOB [港口]
- MOQ: [起订量]
- Payment: T/T 30% deposit, 70% before shipment
- Delivery: [X] days after deposit

The price is valid for 30 days. Please let us know your quantity and target price so we can offer the best deal.

Best regards,
[Your Name]

高频问答句:

三、跟进邮件:客户不回复怎么说?

客户没回邮件是常态,跟进节奏:第3天、第7天、第14天各跟一次,话术换着来:

第一次跟进(第3天):

Dear [Name],

I'm writing to follow up on my previous email. I wonder if you have any questions about our quotation.

We are currently arranging production for this season, so placing your order earlier would help us secure a better schedule.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

第二次跟进(第7天):

Dear [Name],

Just checking in again. We value the chance to work with you and would like to understand your requirements better.

Would it be possible to arrange a quick call this week? We can discuss the details directly.

Best regards,

第三次跟进(第14天):

Dear [Name],

Not sure if you are still considering our offer. The raw material price is rising recently, and our current quotation will be valid until [日期].

If now is not the right time, please let us know, and I will keep you updated with our market information.

Best regards,

四、谈判与电话英语

价格谈判:

电话/视频会议常用:

五、常见错误避坑

六、总结

外贸英语不需要"高大上",需要的是"用得对":

  1. 开发信要短:3-5句话讲清你是谁、卖什么、找谁
  2. 报价要全:价格、单位、条款、有效期写完整
  3. 跟进要勤:3-7-14天节奏跟进,话术轮换
  4. 表达要准:数字、单位、日期不出错
