做贸易，常常要面对客户突然神隐的状况。如：邮件不回，社交软件留言不答复或约定好的电话/视频会议不出现，都是常见的事儿。
不过客户已读邮件不回或会议爽约，并不代表双方合作的终止，具体问题要具体分析。
首先，业务员要根据所掌握的客户信息及业务内容，认真分析客户的具体情况，仔细研判是否继续跟这个客户合作。
其次，要确认是否是目标客户，有了确切的结果后，可以通过拟写以下有针对性的邮件，得以恢复与买家/进口商的联络，获取重启合作的机会。

外贸已读不回10步跟进模板
如果只是三两天的断联，先按捺住。老客户一星期的正常跟踪，新客户十天半个月的跟踪，就可以了。不要邮件轰炸，客户也不一定要回复你。
1.常规的跟进，询求客户对价格的看法，记得长话短说。
比如 Can you please let us have your comments on the offer we sent on +月日？
2.如果客户继续不回复
May I know if you get my offer on+月日？I am attaching again herewith the offer for your reference. Hope to get your feedback soon.
3.继续不回复，打不死的小强精神起来。利用报价的有效期说事。
Friendly reminder on the validity date. Can you please further advise if the price is workable for you? Price will be invalid on+时间
4.继续不吭声。发最新产品/宣传册子，最新出货记录照片，尺寸要控制在1MB以内/目录控制在3MB以内。
Here is our newest model which will be in the market soon.
或Just shipped 1 container to your country and please see some photos for your reference. Any news from you?
5.当客户对原来报价或者方案一直没回复，尝试发下另外的方案或者推荐其他型号报价。
I've attached another proposal for you to review. Please look it over and let us know about your thoughts.
6.对于有潜力或者比较大的采购商，可以主动表示提供免费样板。
7.设法得知客户的Facebook或Instagram。可以在上面关注下他们的动态，从网友的互动做起。
8.低价诱饵效应。可对印度，中东，南美那些无限追求低价的国家客户。
可以探下他们的目标价 Can you please advise your target? 如果你的价格很有优势很可能就拿下单子。
但是如果价格低到你做不下去，也要在下封邮件展开攻势，突出产品的优势和卖点，并表示price will be more competitive if you can allow to adjust the quality .
这里面两个意思，一分钱一分货，你们价位高是因为这些优势，第二个意思他愿意妥协质量，价格可以再优惠 。
9.雷打不动，可以开门见山
Much appreciated if you can further offer some comments. Then I can know if you still get interested in our products. Otherwise I will stop to bother you.
开门见山，直接问他意见，不然停止写邮件给他了。
10.长期沟通的客户，突然无音讯了，这时你可以再发一封邮件说明下情况。
Since I haven't heard from you since last week, I realize my email may have gotten lost in the slush pile, so I'm following up again.
从上周开始，就没收到你的回复。我意识到邮件可能进了垃圾邮箱。所以我今天再跟进下。
