客户沉默只有三种原因:忘了、在比较、根本不想买。三种要用三种问法,同一个模板反复发只会把客户推得更远。下面每封只问一个问题,并给他一个不回复也不尴尬的出口。
场景1:说再看看,然后没了下文
这类客户多半在比价。别问进度,给他一份对比表,让他有理由回来。
Subject: Just checking in – any questions on our [Product] quote?
主题:简单问一句,我们的[产品]报价还有疑问吗?
问疑问,不问进度
Hi [Name], Just checking in on the [Product] quote I sent on [date]. Do you have any questions on the spec or the price? If it helps, I can put together a short comparison against the options you are looking at. Happy to adjust anything on our side. Best regards, [Your Name]
场景2:问题问完了,就是不下单
他认可产品,卡住的多半是预算或内部审批。给他一份可以直接转发给老板的一页纸。
Subject: Ready when your budget cycle opens
主题:等您的预算周期一开,我们随时启动
给时间锚点,不给压力
Hi [Name], You have asked all the right questions, so I think the product side is clear. Often the next step is internal approval or budget. If it helps, I can hold this price for you until [date] and send a one-page summary you can forward to your team. Would that be useful? Best regards, [Your Name]
场景3:答应某天回复,但没回
直接引用他上次说过的话,礼貌但不含糊,他不好意思装作没看见。
Subject: Following up on our call – you mentioned [day]
主题:跟进我们的通话 – 您提到过[某天]
引用原话,比泛泛地催有力
Hi [Name], On our call last [day] you mentioned you would come back this week. I know things get busy, so no pressure at all. Do you still see this moving forward this month? A simple yes or no is fine. Best regards, [Your Name]
场景4:订单确认了,定金不到账
把时间线写清楚,说明晚付对交期的影响,语气不能像催债,让他自己算这笔账。
Subject: Deposit for PO [number] – lead time starts on receipt
主题:订单[编号]定金 – 收到后开始计算交期
把影响说清,决定权留给他
Hi [Name], Thank you for PO [number]. Our production slot for [month] is reserved, but the lead time of [X] days starts once we receive the deposit. If the deposit goes out this week, we can still ship by [date]. Would you like me to resend the invoice? Best regards, [Your Name]
场景5:交货前的细节确认(不是催单)
确认包装、标签、唛头和收货地址。写成待确认清单,让客户逐项回复,避免口头说好、事后扯皮。
Subject: Please confirm packing details before we start
主题:开工前请确认包装细节
清单式提问,客户回得快
跟进节奏:报价后第3天问疑问,第7天给一份新信息,第14天做最后一次。超过三次没有实质回复,就改成每月一次的长期维护,别凭心情发。
两个技巧:所有跟进都在同一封线程里回复,客户往上翻就能看到上下文;主题行保留原报价的主题,不要每次新开一封。
