Another great day has come to an end. Although I had a couple of inquiries from clients who couldn’t afford our products, which left me feeling a bit down for a moment, we’ve got plenty of orders.
I was particularly surprised by a large order from Xiamen.
When she inquired last week, the buyer didn’t know the first thing about the product, yet she asked us to quote based on the order specifications. I assumed she was just shopping around for prices.
But their attitude was sincere, so I provided a quote. However, they rejected certain contract terms, and I refused to amend them, leaving us at an impasse.
So I concluded they weren’t a client for me. Plus, I was away on a long trip last week and too busy traveling to respond to their messages. (I generally dislike inquiries that only ask for prices without mentioning the operating conditions; I usually provide answers out of politeness.)
Yesterday she contacted us again, asking to amend the contract, and I flatly refused. Today she asked me again if we accept bank acceptance bills.
With such a fussy client, I really wanted to hang up, but since she’s a woman and hasn’t once lost her temper with me over the past four or five days of communication, I’ve had to patiently answer her questions—though I never expected an order; I was just being polite.
But unexpectedly, the payment came through this afternoon. The moment I saw the transfer, I was stunned, still wondering to myself, “How did you end up placing the order?!”
Compare that to the other two: one asked me to send him some 8566 die steel to try, while the other told me not to ask any questions—just tell him if we had the material and how much it cost per kilogram. The contrast is striking.
This comparison makes me realize that the people who buy your mold steel are polite, while those who don’t are downright hostile.
To those who are so aggressive, I want to reiterate: Wu Dejian Mold Steel either matches or surpasses the world’s top brands. It’s used by three Fortune 500 companies, and Kyocera has been purchasing it for seven consecutive years. If you want a cheap deal, want to pay on a monthly basis, and are still so fussy, then don’t bother coming to me.
