Communication with the Client

Initial Contact

The client initiated a procurement request through our Alibaba platform. As the client held a high Alibaba membership level (L3), our account manager assessed them as a high-quality prospect and promptly transferred the conversation to WhatsApp for further discussion.

Requirement Confirmation

The client provided specific requirements regarding the specifications, zinc coating, material, and packaging of the galvanized steel sheets. Our account manager prepared a quotation and issued a Proforma Invoice (PI) based on these details. During this process, we showcased our factory facilities and case studies of previous successful clients, and conducted a virtual factory tour with the client.

Price Negotiation

• The client did not respond to the Proforma Invoice for two days, so we proactively followed up.
• The client indicated that the price was too high, explaining that they were a factory user with long-term purchasing needs and anticipated even greater future demand, and requested a price reduction.
• Our account manager proposed that we could offer a reasonable discount if the purchase volume was increased.
• Ultimately, the client confirmed the purchase of the originally planned two specifications totaling 165 tons, and the transaction was finalized.
