ENQUIRIES AND REPLIES LETTERS SHIRLEY TAYLOR

1 State clearly and concisely what you want general information, a catalogue, price list, sample, quotation, etc. 2 If there is a limit to the price at which you are prepared to buy, do not mention this otherwise the supplier may raise the quotation to the limit you state. 3 Most suppliers state their terms of payment when replying so there is no need for you to ask for them unless you are hoping for special rates. 4 Keep your enquiry brief and concise.

Enquiries mean potential business, acknowledged promptly : If it is from an esta­blished customer, say how much you appreciate it; if it is from a prospective customer, say you are glad to receive it and express the hope of a lasting and friendly business relationship.

REQUESTS FOR GOODS ON APPROVAL Customers often ask for goods to be sent on approval. They must be returned within the time stated, otherwise the customer is presumed to have bought them and cannot return them afterwards

ENQUIRES LETTER

Reply In this reply the supplier seeks protection by asking for references. Some suppliers request a returnable deposit or a third-party guarantee. While safeguarding oneself, it is important not to offend customers by implying lack of trust.
