Of course, it is not the so-called standard one. There are some other formats too, say there is a small table before the contact of the letter, with several options, say only for information, for notification, for reply, etc..

Look before you leap. For some small companies, it might be too lengthy and completely unnecessary while for some big ones, it's better to be as full as possible.

But I always reply him very simplily at the first email. If he's a potential client, i think he/she will reply me for more point. Otherwise, i'm lazy to reply all details for every email.

What's more, lots of your real customers do know the main information about the product, so it is no need to offer all details at the beginning, we can deal with more in the near future if he/she really want to do business with u. And sometimes, i feel that they're all business people, so that some of them are busier than us. ..

thanks for your sharing, now i learn about how to quote

There are so many items,I cann't believe it.

I think the one of the important thing is you can reply the inquiry in time.But sometimes,forum.fobshanghai.com,Q6V1T.f9Y

It's nice to read the detail info about the quotation. I have little experience in quotation and I must to learn more from all of you.

I think the quotation should be simple, quick and should contain the shipping rule, payment term ,packing term and lead time as well.

Besides , I think the logo of company is also an important part of an quotation.

I agree with u. many clients are professional than us about products
