外贸人该如何高效应对面对客户讨价还价

在跟进外贸客户过程中,外贸人都会经过“讨价还价”这个阶段,哪怕你真的是把价格降到最低,客户的回复还是:Please give me your best price。
无论你此时如何抓狂,客户只会继续让你降价。而讨价还价的内容,也并不仅仅是产品单价的讨论,很多客户都会让你东割一块西割一块,让自己能享受更多的优惠,例如:交付更少的订金;提出极短的交期;苛刻的尾款交付条件等等。
那作为外贸人,如何去应对呢?
第一种情况:针对印度、中东贸易商客户群体
客户群体分析:无理取闹式讲价,恨不得还没看你的报价表就马上回复:Your price is very high, friend.
针对这类客户的应对方式:
1、坚定自己的价格,形成高逼格的气场
2、回复客户的相关说辞例子:与其他供应商不同的原材料、与其他供应商不同的制造工艺,拿自己最好的产品拆分,显示出你们有最优秀的质量,晒出你们的证书,SGS, CE,TUV等,中东的,晒你们出货的SASO。
总而言之,对于此类客户群体,一开始的态度就是强硬,给客户营造一副专业的样子,让客户心中对你的印象就是行业的大佬,这样无论客户在市场上怎么比价,都是以你作为参照物,最终客户跟你成交的机率就大。
第二种情况:针对带着大订单来的客户群体
客户群体分析:此类客户持着手头的大单,有着不愁没供应商的样子,订单的条款非常苛刻,如订金偏少等
针对这类客户套路的应对方式:
1、先抬高客户,让他自我感觉良好,但是同时对客户做一个风险的预警,可以参考以下我的范文:
Glad to have your inquiry, we realized that you are one of the top client in your market.
As you mentioned that you need us reduce 5% of the price that we quoted. And I have to give you a warm advice that not only us but all the supplier will use lower quality material to make product for you base on your target price. And it will cause you a lot when it comes to after sales service including cost for shipping,replaced components,ect.
2、然后可以突出我们的一些服务优势以及产品优势以及继续提高自己的身价:
Base on our quote, we will offer 3 years warranty and the top grade material. Price maybe little higher than other small suppliers, however, you will get better materials and more complete and strict testing.
3、订金问题,必须跟客户阐述我司最低可接受的订金比率以及收款条款,一般这类大型订单的客户,引导他们走信用证+订金的模式。例如:
We are sure that such big client like you must have good credit in your country,to protect both of us, we suggest we can use L/C payment for this order.
第三种情况:针对新客户,但是客户所在地是你们公司有频繁业务来往群体:
针对这类客户套路的应对方式:
1、多晒当地客户订单PI,表明价格立场
2、对客户进行当地市场的详细分析,让客户明白你对当地市场已经进入专家模式,继而给客户指定最佳方案,让客户跟着你的思维走。
第四种情况:针对老客户返单讲价并且用新供应商的报价甚至PI压价的客户群体:
针对这类客户套路的应对方式:
1、由于此类客户已经和我们有了一定的交情,我们对于这类客户要打的是感情牌,摆出一副全都是为他着想的架势跟客户谈:
We know you already got lower price from other suppliers, however, base on the product you ordered, you can see that our product is really suitable for you and I am sure this is why you still send inquiry for me this time.
No one will guarantee new supplier can supply product for you as good as we can. If you still insist taking product from the cheaper price supplier, you may face some quality problem etc. And as you are our old client, we always put old client at priority place and offer the best service.
