众所周知，销售的专业价值，资源价值都非常重要。今天我们来讨论一下如何提升专业价值，就是从基础的邮件表达开始，这个懂就是懂，不懂就是不懂。如果我们措词比较专业，灵活应变，不要过多重复使用一种句式，客户会对我们比较真实有人性的一个人，而不是电脑对面的一串数字。客户会比较信任专业的销售，没有对比就没有伤害。
专业价值
这些专业术语我们可以去了解并且有用的、使用频率很高的，一定要把它单独摘抄下来。但从整体也非常有必要去认真地看一下，并且保存好，起码我们要使用的时候知道从哪里找。这里我帮大家做一个汇总和融合，最后把自己的版本共创出来，做成自己的版本，不断的刻意读诵、刻意练习和使用， 就这么简单：

一、邮件开头表达问候
01
Salutation——称呼
开头的称呼大多数人都不会太注意，然而细节有时可以决定成败。在西方国家，比如已婚女性和未婚女性所使用的表达就不一样，因此在给女性客户发邮件的时候请务必了解清楚。
用dear作为邮件的开头肯定是没有问题的，但是很多小伙伴却忘了在后面写上人名，电子邮件dear的后面一定要有“人”。因为翻译的原因，很多人都认为“dear”是一个关系很亲密的称呼，但是在外国人眼里这个词其实是很正式的，就像我们写信的时候写的“尊敬的”、“敬爱的”等等。
所以在写邮件的时候“dear”用在比较正式的场合，表示一种对他人的尊敬，后面可以加上名字或者姓氏。
如果是给不知道名字的人或者是在写一封普通的邮件，可以在开头选择“Greetings”、“Hi there”。但在写邮件的时候千万别再使用Dear Sir和Dear Madam，这种说法过于老套并且很正式，给人一种你不必用心查找对方的名字的感觉，有点冒犯。还有“To whom it may concern”也不要用。
我们通常用的表达如下：
1、Dear Mr./ Ms. Smith （具体某人）
如果对方的有这些让他自豪的头衔，也可以称呼客户的头衔。
2、Dear Prof.（教授）/Dr.（博士）+ 姓（头衔，职位）
3、有人说Hi 更好， 有人说Dear 更好，用中道的思维就是：不做选择题，可以一起结合使用，我通常会结合使用。 比如说: Hi, Dear (Mr.) XXX
Hi， Hello 代表打招呼。单纯使用未免太过于疏远，而销售又是要缔结关系，特别是比较亲密的关系。所以这个也没有什么问题。但是不要直接使用 Hi dear, 不加客户的名字就代表是个调戏、调情的意思。对于这个千万不要乱用，因为回头你也许会问我客户骚扰你怎么办？
02: 打招呼
▷ I hope you had a good weekend.
▷ I hope you had a great trip.
▷ Hope you had a nice break.
▷ I hope you are well.
▷ I hope all is well.
▷ Hope you're enjoying your holiday.
▷ I hope this email finds you well.
▷ I hope you enjoyed the event.
▷ I'm glad we had a chance to chat at the convention.
▷ It was great to see you on Thursday.
▷ It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday.
Wishing you have the most fine day there~
Wishing you have the most beautiful days (in this wonderful season) there~[玫瑰]
03：感谢
Starting——开篇
对大多数商务邮件的开篇而言，我们都可以通过提及与客户之前的接触来表示友好的问候。
首先可以提及下你跟客户的“交情”并做出感谢。比如感谢客户跟你在哪里见过面、吃过饭、拜访过公司、展会上聊天或者通过电话，谈论过什么内容等等。如果并没有的话，那么就感谢对方的来信。（甚至没有及时回复对方的时候也表示感谢让其等了很久）
通常我们会用这样的表达：
1. Thank you for your (kind) letter of January 15th.
感谢您在1月15日的来信。
2. It was a pleasure meeting you at the conference this month.
很高兴在本月的会议上认识您。
3. I do appreciate your patience in waiting for a response.
感谢您耐心等待我的回复。
4. Thank you for contacting us.
感谢您联系我们。
5. It was a pleasure meeting you in Shanghai last month.
上个月在上海见到您很高兴。
6. I enjoyed having lunch with you last week in NewYork.
上周在伦敦与您共进午餐很愉快。
7. With reference to our telephone conversation yesterday...
我们昨天的电话交谈关于......
8. In reply to your request...
回应您的要求......
9. I would just like to confirm the main points we discussed on Friday.
我想确认我们在周五讨论的要点。
在简单寒暄之后，我们就可以直接点明写信目的。此处请注意，在表达意图的时候也要尽可能的简洁明了。不然会让客户没有兴趣继续读下去。
二、初次和客户联系说明发邮件的原因
State the main point——点名主旨
这一部分作为邮件的重点，需要向客户表述你的主要诉求。比如你写邮件是为了请求客户帮忙、提供报价，询问客户问题、或者回应客户需求，提供证明材料等。通常我们会用到这样的表达：
1. We are writing to inform you that.../ to confirm.../ to request.../to enquire about...
我们写信是为了通知/确认/请求/询问……
2. I recently read/heard about...and would like to know...

3. I am contacting you for the following reason...
此次联系您主要是为了......
4. We'd like to invite you to a meeting on May 15th.
我们想要邀请您参加5月15日的会议。
需要注意的是，在做这部分表述的时候，我们通常可以使用以下短语：
Making a request 请求帮忙
1. We would appreciate it if you would …
如果您愿意......我们将不胜感激。
2. It would be helpful if you could send us ...
如果您可以给我们发送......将会很有帮助。
3. I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

2. We are quite willing to ...

Giving good news 通知好的消息
1. We are pleased to announce that .../ to inform you that ... / to learn that ...
我们很开心（很高兴）的告知（宣布/通知/了解）.....
Giving bad news 通知不好的消息
1. I'm afraid it would not be possible to ...

3. Unfortunately we cannot / we are unable to ...

4. Please note that the goods we ordered on ( date ) have not yet arrived.
抱歉货没法如期抵达。
