I the same to you!!

i got crazy with the foreigners

The same to you, i am aslo in the first step.

Just do it!

it doesn't matter. Just do it. when foreign customers have a request some day, maybe remind of your product then will contact you. Therefore, never give up, keep on moving. 5i-jGyc${TF

LO{$c+A7]1A@a Good Luck!

Best Regards and good luck.

keeping is victory

if you keep in it ,you will be victory

Just keep it up!

Yeah, I also have the same sentiment that it's very difficult to searching a serious customer, also keep a friendly relationship with old customers . You know, as i have learned from my other experienced friend, and they told that just keep sending emails to customers more often and don't let them forget us.But after i did like this, i knew that many customers don't like us to do like this way, they felt very boring and told me that: don't send any more as we will let you know if i have demands. or some one advised " we are don't need them and don't have any interests with them":(.  
/~:v\0[

LHa(p9i$c;C for commuicate with them.:D $TE,y&}M}(e

Y#nx$S7{ Is there any one could give me some workable advises. Or let's sharing what about this Foreign Trade lines. :) 4heuNL n

o\nn'X d#V+z ? Whatever, I believe just keep it up as soon as we found a reasonable ways for seaching clients and keep stable relationship with them.:handshake

I suggest you to tell your company's web site in first mail .7KTT(Oh ^

I think at the very first two or three emails, no reply it is ok, maybe you can asked them to reply you simply; then you'd better call them, check wether they got the emails or not; sometimes, maybe your emails treated as junk mail by the system; when call not only ask for their email address, but also tell yours to them.

Of course, we 'd better search every useful information about the customer before we call them, first you should make sure if they are real customers or just ask for prices for reference.

Note: The first emails, should be laconic, not write an article; and no attachments.

i want to get the answer too :lol

You should make clear whether they need it or not first by researching some necessary info about your clients ,then you should analyse which is the best way to attract their eyes .keep doing what you have done

My Gold,i feel boring.

i am also in the first step , i have the same experience with most of you . :\"z\'\L
At the beginning , many old sellers in our company have their own customers , i admire them so much , but i have no thing to do , but work hard .Because when you have your customer , then you will have an important place in your office .That is the truth .2V"u/F*\%n)O$xy
i try to send some faxes every day , but that is not as fruitful as i imagine , i will boring . My colleague told me that is very simple , but i have to contact with them frequently . I tried , but also have no fruit .r~q:xC

I am also trying to find a way to contact with foreign customers , if any one can give me one or some suggestion ,i will be very grateful .4[S4G$j|
Thank you in advance .
