外贸客户开发信怎么写？这份攻略帮你实现80%的打开率

作为一名外贸从业者，主动开发客户自然少不了开发信，它是每一个外贸人必备的专业技能。那么外贸客户开发信怎么写呢？如何从打开率从最初的 5% 逐步提升到稳定在 60%-80%。今天就分享10个关键细节和6条参考模板分享给大家，全部可以直接套用，建议收藏。

很多外贸新人写开发信，习惯先介绍自己、再介绍公司、最后附上产品目录——结果往往被客户一秒归为“广告”，直接删除。

高打开率的10个核心细节

1.邮件主题是生死线

❌ 避免千篇一律的“Company Introduction”或“Product Catalogue”

✅ 改用“利益点 + 场景”组合，比如：

→ For your Christmas order – new eco-friendly packaging

→ Reduce shipping cost by 20% on your next order

📌 建议控制在45–60字符，注意客户时区发送（如美国上午9点、日本上午10点）。

2.第一句话就要抓人

移动端预览仅显示第一行，必须像新闻标题一样吸引继续阅读：

✅ Noticed your brand is trending in Europe – here’s a faster supply option.

❌ 避免一上来就：“We are a manufacturer from China since 2005…”

3.研究客户动态再动笔

每封信都应适度定制，比如提及对方近期动态：

✅ “I saw your new ‘Aurora’ lighting series – it fits perfectly with our glass covers.”

4.一句话说清你的价值

客户不关心你是谁，只关心你能帮他做什么：

→ 省多少成本（%）、缩多少交期（天）、新技术/趋势

✅ “We help retailers cut LED bulb cost by 15% without changing suppliers.”

5.正文别超120词

买家习惯扫读，大段文字直接跳过。

✅ 用2-3段，每段2-3句，适当空行。

6.多用项目符号（Bullet Points）

代替大段描述，亮点一目了然：

✅ Why work with us：

→7-day prototyping

→18% average cost saving

→MOQ from 200 pcs

7.结尾要有明确行动指令（CTA）

❌ 避免模糊的“Looking forward to your reply”

✅ 改为具体下一步：

→ Can we schedule a 10-min call next Tuesday?

→ Would you like 3 free samples?

8.签名简洁专业

✅ 使用真人头像、完整联系方式（电话/WhatsApp/LinkedIn/网站），确保官网带https（SSL证书），否则易被怀疑真实性。

9.定期做A/B测试

同一批客户发不同主题，测打开率，每月优化。

10.跟进节奏要稳

❌ 不要第二天就追问

✅ 建议节奏：

首封 → 等4-7天 → 第二封（补充价值/新案例）→ 第三封（Final follow-up）
