One of my clients in India,
He asked me to send the small sample to him.
And he told me his DHL account and paid the freight fee..
He has got our samples and told me that he will open this product's market in his country.

I always contact with him.
And with regards by each time.

He told me that he will give me an order soon ..
He said many times..

But he still not give me an order..
What about your clients in India?
I am puzzled!

you'd going on to keep in touch with him,and be patience!It's a long way to get the first  order of a customer ,you know!

my customer in New delhe promised me that he would make a big cooperation with us after his first trial order
more than 3 months passed, I have contacted him for more than 6 times for their feedback to our products and their plan for future transactions with us, but he never replied.
I am confused! He can told me"  your quality is too bad, we would stop working with you" " we will give you orders in future, but donot worry", but he got loss! So it confused me!

If the client is very good,he will give you a message !I think maybe he also want to wait for oportunity!

maybe you should waitting for a long time ,
clients are so unimaginable ,like this one ,everywhere has !
and i think ,we should communicate with them detaily about our business before sent our
sample

How to introduce my first customer from Indonesia? 3 times interviews, 1 small order----he came to visit our company for two times and didnt want to place the order though he had interests in some items. When i asked him why not to place a trial order, he said he need to investigate the market.The third time, he finally placed his first order valued $6000 and asked us to ship them in batches, and ,he asked for many times to supply him the level-A goods with 'made in German'.It took us 3 months to get the first order!!

your clients is the same as one of my clients,he also from India,he always said he will give me order soon,but he still didn't do that.just fell so gloomy.

how to say my indian customer , after I gave him the sample, I get nothing from him. He ddin't reply my email. I don't know why, It's puzzle.
but now I meet a Polish cutomer, I am afraid she will be the same as Indian

It's very normal for Indian Clients!Be patient is what we should do!And do not give up and go on developing !

Good luck!

Now I just received some queries from some customers. but after quoted, there is no any reply any more. Really want to get an order, but think it is not easy. Need more patient or something need to improve? Feel confusing...

Yeah,one of my client he asked to send the PI for him for more than three times,but without any reply each time.When I ask his response,he just said,I would place an order to you at the end,don't worry.
I also want to know why.

i also meet this condition.one of my clients ask me to quote many times,but without any reply after i quote.

once after my quotation to my indian client , he said that the price was so high , and ask to reduce the price by half which is imporsible . honestly speaking the price i quoted was very low and i cant image that a  buyer can do that !

the clients like to compare the price with the others factories.

it needs the time to consider , I think.
