Seller:
> Here are some info for you:
> 1. Most Malaysian textile company are owner operated
> 2. They are mostly non-computer literate
> 3. They are all keen to do business but not with you or your company because of the way your present your business communication protocol.

>No one will bother to answer your enquires, unless:
>A. You include your company profile correctly (not in a jigsaw puzzle way)

>B. You must write-in/fax with the proper correct business protocol

>C. You must state very clearly:
you and your company current position, i.e. an import or export merchant, a commission agent, a part-time agent, CEO, manager, purchasing director, MD, Chairperson, etc.

>D. (Optional) You must state very clearly:
Your Objectives, Purpose, About your company, etc. to reflect and back-up your claim of intended business (making it worth the seller *Time* to respond to your enquiry).

It is not that Companies (world wide) does not want to sell. It is simply that *NO* companies wants to waste *time* with enquirers (seems to be a small time agency) that don't know their *job* and causing *Time* consuming and unproductive related cost for the seller trying to educate the enquirer (using a public email address).

Sellers have no time to ask all sorts of qualifying questions. Sellers have many other highly potential buyers that needs their attention and sellers have to prioritize their limited *time* resources.

You will continuously face *no respond* from many companies with your hastily written e-message and any company that respond, must be so desperate for business (like a drowning person grabbing a straw).

Therefore, many sellers judge your business potential -- not by the amount you say you intend to buy, but by the way your written business communication protocol that reflect and support your buying potential.

Example:
Just walk in-to any up-town car showroom, in shorts and slippers, the sales personal won't be taking you very seriously as a potential buyer, isn't it?

Of course there are cases when the sales person continues to serve the potential customer and made a sale for a *Porch* or *Rolls* (happy endings that we usually get to see in the movies).

Unfortunately, in email business communications judgment cannot be made at all, the seller can't even visualize the potential of the buyer *except* on the style of writing that will make it worth the seller *Time* to respond to your enquiry.

Therefore, email communication need even more efforts and *time* because the recipient can't judge whether you are wearing shorts and slippers -- they simply assumed it.

If you are consistently getting no respond to your e-business email enquire, the reason could simply be due to improper
e-business e-protocol, e-mail e-communication e-netiquettes.

In today's world of E-everything... The line between success and failure is *I have no time*
