The first thing for our foreign trade salesmen to go to work every day is to find a mailbox, and the second thing is to send a letter. Apart from the above-mentioned contents such as how to write a letter and skills, there is a small detail that I don't know if you have noticed, that is, the problem of time difference. Today, let's talk about the best sending time for foreign trade development letters.

first need to know the customer's work and rest before judging the sending time. For example, foreign purchasing personnel usually open the mailbox to check the mail when they go to work at 8: 00 a.m. and then spend about one hour to process the reply mail. The rest of the time is to deal with the internal purchasing matters of the company. I start work after 6: 00 p.m., so it will be more efficient to send letters during the working period of the customer, especially when I open the mailbox in the morning to send the mail to ensure that the customer can see it.

emails mainly includes foreign trade development letters and foreign trade emails. Because they don't know the working hours of foreign customers, many new foreign trade salesmen don't pay attention to it. The development letters are sent out during the daytime in China, while the corresponding European and American time is usually at night or early morning. If customers receive multiple mails, then your development letters or foreign trade mails may be sorted to the bottom, reducing the chance of being seen by customers.
