some suggestions for sales (share)

[color=Blue]As a sourcing agent and buyer I can tell you what is a good quotation for me:it includes all relevant information ! My job is to find a reliable supplier at a reasonable price in the shortest time possible.
's#Rz(~q,lq\ov It is very possible that I will choose a supplier whose price is a few percent higher but the quotation is complete. That means, it includes: - FOB (!!!) price, with seaport marked! (I often get FOB quotes without location. Obviously for me in Europe a FOB Shanghai price is higher than a FOB Xiamen price, since shipping rates are different).
P;[2xz.Lm5]WT - [b]delivery time [/b](so far no Chinese supplier was able to keep the promised delivery time for my projects - 90% delay, 10% early)
+J2]+W Ao$ZQ
k` - [b]package unit[/b] (carton details)!!! Carton weight, size, volume, content, material. It is very important!!! Usually this point is simply left out by suppliers. But I - and most full-time buyers - have just simply no time to beg for any details separately!!! If a quotation misses this, I simply delete it. I have no time to ask for these points, but I can only calculate my shipping cost with this info!!! \u!l!}nS`C%r*Gx
- [b]payment conditions[/b] must be exactly discussed.
$GT']us I hope suppliers will consider these points in the future. If you include all relevant information, you can really help your partner in his decision. And for the supplier, it is a job done once, you needn"t work out each detail separately.[/color]

yeah,I think the packing is important but it's usually missed

Do not copy other's articles without permission!

yes, a good quotation should include price, delivery time, packing details, as more as possible.:)

thanks for your share.

it's great! l have learned so much things.

We always try our best to send the complete quotation to our customers. As we known, few factory would like to offer the full info so we have to ask again and again. Actually it is a boring thing. But maybe it's why the trading companly can exist.

how could be a good purchase

i be a puchase just 3 mounths ,  i hope somebody can give me the advices that if your just buy the products which is not common in the market, and the QTY is not good, how could u ask the facture to quote it. thaks

You are absolutely correct!

Thanks for your suggestion.I am confusing why the earlier delivery is not satisfactory.But I think you are right!I found that some of my customers requested me to hold the goods if I want to make  the delivery date ahead of schedule even the goods they ordered were ready.In my opinion,It is not a bad thing.I do not know why!Would you like to help me with this/Thanks!
