除了“怎么开发客户”以外，外贸新人常常问的问题是“如何处理客户不回复”。在业务发展的过程中，我们都曾经历过客户未回复的挫折，无论是发邮件得不到回应，电话被挂断，甚至被拉黑WhatsApp……回头看，客户不回复并不是世界末日，而是在逼着你“打怪升级”。
一起学习下吧：
一、客户为什么“突然装死”不回复？
别急着狂轰滥炸的跟进，先试试当一回“福尔摩斯”：
1. 查背景：通过查看领英上的客户资料，可以了解客户是否有跳槽、进行转行或即将退休的情况。有一次我花了半年时间追踪一个德国客户，最后才发现他所在的公司已经破产。
2. 看邮箱：利用找邮箱工具，可以查找对方公司的其他采购人员的邮箱。有一次我发现原来的采购总监被调岗了，而新来的采购压根没收到我的邮件。
3. 测问题：创建一个临时的邮箱或者使用另一个邮箱来伪装成新的供应商，然后向客户发送报价，测试客户是否仍在采购。这个策略帮助我发现了3个比价的中间商。
二、60天持续跟进总有一拳能破冰
(一).1-7天：冷静期+基础跟进
核心策略：避免急吼吼催单，先确认信息触达
1. 邮件确认送达(第2天)
“Hello [Name], I wanted to confirm that you have received the proposal/quote I sent. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m eagerly awaiting your feedback.”
2. 社交媒体轻互动(第3-5天)
操作：领英点赞/评论客户动态，WhatsApp发简短问候(如周末愉快/节日祝福)，不聊业务只刷存在感。
(二).7-15天：价值唤醒+换渠道突破
核心策略：换沟通方式+抛出钩子信息
3. 电话跟进(第7天)
“Hello [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Company]. I wanted to touch base to ensure that the quote provided is clear. Please let me know if you require any additional details to assist with your decision-making process.”
4. 给行业数据(第10天)
操作：附上市场趋势报告+客户竞品采购动态(例：”Our other clients in [行业] saved 15% costs by this solution…”)
(三).15-30天：痛点刺激+限时促单
核心策略：制造紧迫感+解决客户顾虑
5. Deadline话术(第20天)
“Hello [Name], I wanted to let you know that our factory schedule is filling up quickly, and we will reach full capacity after [日期]. If you are able to confirm the order by [日期], I will be able to prioritize your production!”
6. “尴尬点”提问(第25天)
话术”Hello [Name], I wanted to check in to see if there are any concerns regarding the [产品]. Some clients had expressed worry about [痛点A], but we have addressed this by implementing [方案]…”
(四).30-60天：情感牌+长期价值
核心策略：放弃逼单，转长期关系维护
7. 节日/事件触发(随机时机)
操作：客户国家节日祝福、邀约参观工厂、展会邀约参观。
8. 非业务话题破冰(第45天)
话术：”Hello [Name], I couldn’t help but notice the hiking photos you shared last week! The landscapes of [地点] are truly breathtaking…”
9. 长期埋种子(60天)
每月1号定时发送：行业价格波动图、海关政策更新速报、竞争对手动态简报。
📍 补充：避坑指南
- 🔹 频率控制：新客户10-15天1次，老客户7天1次，切忌3天内连发。
- 🔹 内容底线：必带新信息，绝不发“Just follow up”的废话。
- 🔹 终极心态：把“Why no reply?”换成“Why should they reply?”。
- 🔹 万能缓冲话术：“No pressure at all! Even if now is not the right time, I’ll keep sharing market updates.”
60天后仍不回复？做好客户分类管理工作，果断归档到“长期培育库”。外贸是概率游戏，把精力留给有回应的人！
三、修炼保命心法千锤百炼也不怕
1. 备胎思维：同时跟进20个客户，别吊死在一棵树上，遵循销售漏斗原则。
2. 留钩子：每次沟通必留个开放式问题，比如“您更关注交期还是MOQ？”
3. 装傻策略：过半年假装失忆重新开发：“抱歉John，系统显示您去年询价过XX产品…”
4. 反PUA话术：客户说“价格太高”时，秒回：“太好了！这说明我们的品质值得深聊”
外贸其实和谈恋爱很相似，有时客户不回复可能是因为我们的吸引力还不够。曾经有一次我花了2年7个月的时间跟进客户，最终成功拿下了总价值230万美金的订单。对方甚至不得不承认：“你的坚持真的让我无法拒绝。”
四、不同场景下的“已读不回”攻破话术
| 场景 | 应对建议/话术示例 |
|---|---|
| 产品询价后未回 | “Good day, we wanted to follow up on the quotation we provided… We are eager to assist you.” |
| 样品发送后未反馈 | “We’d like to inquire if the sample meets your satisfaction. Your feedback is important to us.” |
| 合同提案后无音讯 | “We forwarded the proposal last week and are keen to receive your input or adjustments.” |
| 长时间未下单客户 | “We are curious to know if there have been any changes to your requirements…” |
| 回复暂无需求 | “Would it be feasible to reach out to you at a more convenient time?” |
| 询问反馈无回应 | “We reached out a few days ago to request your feedback on the usage of product C…” |
| 节假日问候无回应 | “I wanted to check if you had an opportunity to receive our season’s greetings…” |
| 确认订单细节未回 | “In order to ensure timely delivery, we kindly request your confirmation of the details for order D.” |
