Introduction to a new buyer email template (English)

First email to a potential buyer: who you are, what you make, your terms and one simple next step. The emails are in English, the usual language of international trade. Nothing you type is sent to Triplicate.

Tips for this email

  1. Write to a named person and say how you found the company; one short email with a clear next step works better than a long company profile.
  2. State only what you can back up: products, certifications you actually hold, minimum order, lead time and terms. Attach a catalogue or price list instead of pasting it.
  3. Follow the rules on unsolicited business email in the buyer's country, include your full company details, and stop writing to anyone who asks you to.
