我想,作为业务员,最重要的就是维护与客户的关系。
几天前,我收到一个新客户的E-mail.一个我在去年11月份在Made-in-China B2B上开始联系的客户,直到今年五月1日开始下第一次定单,第一批货马上到岸。客户说他收到一个很奇怪的邮件,一个我的同行竞争对手发给他的邮件,说她们的产品类别跟我们公司一模一样,还说是从我们公司的一位朋友得到了客户的联系方式。客户收到邮件感到非常诧异,认为邮件是如此直接到达他的邮箱,而且似乎对客户的情况非常了解。客户认为很有必要转发给我,所以就第一时间将邮件及附件转发过来。
看了客户的邮件,我感到非常震惊。当然,我对于发件人也是非常熟悉了,尽管她离开了我们公司,可是为什么要如此直接地把脚插到我的客户。当然,还有很多邮件,也许是其他客户没有转发给我罢了。目前我们正在对部分产品进行调价,所以这样的做法肯定会对业务有一定冲击力。
我非常感激客户,他能够站在我的立场看待这件事,也足可见他是如此珍惜彼此的合作。我是这样回复客户的:

作为工厂与客户的联络人,业务员的素质非常重要,必须清楚什么事情可以做,什么事情必须Say No。
