外貿(mào)業(yè)務(wù)員剛開始寫開發(fā)信的時候也貿(mào)易什么經(jīng)驗,幾乎都是靠跟不同的客戶接觸自我探索。若有熱心的老外能指點一下,開發(fā)信的效果就會提高很多。有意識地去模仿老外 們的行文方式和遣詞用句,你會發(fā)現(xiàn),這遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)比你雕琢的開發(fā)信來得直接,來得有效。
拿一段外貿(mào) 業(yè)務(wù)員工作前夕的信件 看看:

夠震撼吧?這就是學(xué)校里外貿(mào)函電學(xué)出來的東西呢,實際應(yīng)用中實在慘不忍睹,甚至還要教你在email的左上角寫上公司名和公司地址、日期。實際上,哪有老外這樣寫的,只有以前用手寫的時候貌似才有。
接下來給大家分享一封老外寫的email開發(fā)信,大家看看:
Hey guy,

這是一個巴西的
貿(mào)易公司寫給陌生的美國公司的開發(fā)信。別人也是做trading的,怎么就寫的和我們不一樣呢?有些人會說,哎呀,老外比較懶惰。沒錯,很多老外是很懶,但是你明知道他很懶,你還長篇大論的,你覺得這么懶的人會花時間仔細(xì)讀你的開發(fā)信么?
懶是一方面,這點沒錯,老外通常沒有中國人勤奮,但是反過來看,他們往往是言簡意賅,只說最重要的話,一句廢話都沒有。因為在他們的文化里,時間很寶貴,不能耽誤自己的時間,也不要耽誤別人的時間。
