当客户已经从自己同行手里购买同类产品的时候:好消息是确认客户对产品有需求,及立即的采购计划。坏消息是客户可能对于现在的供应商很满意,并不要更换供应商,此时杀进去难度很大,而且需要经过客户的反复考验。
下手开发的几个切入方向:
1. 不断开发适合市场需要的新品,推荐给客户。如果新品被选中,则可以顺利建立关系 。
2. 考察客户网站,看看客户的用户对于现有产品的反馈和投诉,试图解决这些不被现有供应商重视或者解决不了的问题,这些应该是客户很关注的。
3. 考察客户销量比较大的款式的产品,研究看是否有方法可以在保证质量的情况下,大幅度降低成本,通过价格吸引客户。
那么第一封开发信一定要直接突出自己的优势,如果你所能提供的和客户现有的供应商一样,那客户为什么要费那么大的力气换个供应商呢?所以你需要给客户充足的理由,开发信要开门见山,点出你能给客户带来的好处,并且要有充分的令人信服的论据来支撑你的观点。

清楚了客户的兴趣之所在,以及自己公司和产品的优势,研究清楚如何引起客户强烈的兴趣后,就要考虑这封开发信要发给谁了。
找到具体的联系人,会让开发信的成功率数倍提高。学习利用谷歌找到采购负责人很重要。如果找不到采购负人,就直接搜“@客户网站.com”,找到客户公司任何一个联系人,再向他们问采购负责人的联系方式,成功率也很高。
新手切忌不问收件人是谁,上来就推销,说一通套话我们是最大的,我们是质量最好的,最便宜的。推销会让客户很反感,尤其是收件人并不是具体负责采购的人,看到这样的推销信,直接就删除或者丢到垃圾邮件箱里了。
这封邮件的目的要清楚,就是找到相关的采购负责人。客气礼貌地说明来意,邮件可以简短点。

四. 客户产品线还没有我们的同类产品
如果客户产品线里还没有我们的同类产品,对于你来说是个潜在的机会。如果是个大客户,开发的周期会很长,因为大公司做决策流程很长,需要不同部门的审批。从客户的立场来想,当我们不知道一个新品的时候,有供应商来找我们。我们会是什么样的一个判定流程呢?
1.这个产品是什么?为什么我要加入现有产品线?
2.嗯,这个产品不错。这家公司资质如何?有能力保证品质和供应吗?
3.他有能力做,价格是否有竞争力?我是否要比较一下其他的供应商?
所以我们初期的目标应该设定为让客户接受这个产品,第二步的目标是让客户接受我的公司。如果客户第一步对产品感兴趣了,此时要及时介绍公司,证明你们有能力提供高品质的产品,保障供应。
第一封开发信需要把新产品介绍给客户,同时,还要把产品的益处,能给客户带来什么商业利益讲清楚,如果有销售统计数据证明这个产品快速上升趋势的话则最好。
专业邮件模板16:
“ I just visited your web site, and found that you are not offering XXX products to your customer yet. The sales of XXXX product in your local market grows very fast. The sales are expected to be very hot in 2023. May I give you a little more information regarding XXX products for your study? Target: It targets 30-40 years old man. BTW, we have samples ready, do you need a sample to evaluate it?
这封开发信的重点在于让客户知道有这么一款产品,市场上销量不错。产品介绍的侧重点在于让客户直观地评估该产品带来的收益,所以一些信息如目标市场价,采购成本,销量等都很有帮助。
五. 利用展会作为契机
我们一直使用integrated marketing。
国外有研究,平均每个客户要触动8次才能合作。所以我们每次展会前都会发送大量的展会邀约邮件给客户。正好也是一个借口,客户一般不反感。如果能去参展,我们展会流量会增大,能当面谈当然成功率要提升很多。如果客户不去,也没关系,他至少了解我们多一次。这种方法宣传既有重点,又有广度。那些到了展会的客户可以进一步深谈,而没有去的客户也加深了一次对公司的印象,公司坚持参展对于客户来说也是实力展示和传递信心。

现在是社媒时代,观察身边优秀的外贸人不难发现,他们都有在经营着自己的社交媒体平台账号(Facebook、LinkedIn和WhatsApp为主),并在平台上不断积累增加好友数量,提高自身影响力从而收获客户和流量。
所以花了钱参展,在社媒上更要充分把展会作为一个营销的契机点。不管客户会不会来展会,都把邀约当成一种营销手段,既刷了一波存在感加深了印象,后续更新参展照片动态,又能当成一种公司实力的背书,促进新老户的信任和认可。

B端外贸人把领英作为重点的居多,效果相对来说也是最好的。所以针对领英上可以通过领英助理(www.lingyingzhuli.com)将邀约信息添加至消息模板内后,再对领英好友进行模拟手工批量群发,内容里记得设置插入姓名变量用来自动添加客户姓名,如下图简示:
以上模板文字仅供参考,思路引导才最重要。不同的客户,应采取不同的策略和技巧。
只有被打动的客户才会回复,也只有解决了客户的疑问,满足了客户的需求,客户才会把订单交给你。
只有做足功课,调研客户的兴趣点,才能搔到客户的痒处。上客户网站、社交账号(Facebook、领英等)里分析,在Google、购物网站里研究该行业客户的特点和痛点。
所有的切入方向都是建立在获知客户的痛点并准确传达产品价值上,基于客户痛点解决现存的问题,更要帮助客户发现潜在的问题,创造客户的需求。
则一切水到渠成!
