加拿大进出口外贸每周翻译论坛:提高英语表达水平,增强外贸销售能力(2008/24)



加拿大外贸

注:
很多福友没有经过如何写作开发信的基本培训,本周我选取刚刚收到的一封电子邮件,现作为开发信范文供各位参考。
除了文字、某篇布局,还请大家注意各种排版细节。
愿意翻译的福友,请翻译本人所加的蓝色部分。
谢谢。

思考题:
开发信是否越短越好?为什么?
本开发信有多少热点吸引读者?为什么?

Subject: Sales Tips: Top 10 Factors for Getting Salespeople to Overachieve

Hello Bruce,

As we quickly approach the of end the month and the end of the second quarter,
it is crucial to put something back onto your radar that you may or may not have
thought about since late December or early January: your 2008 goals.

Salespeople are often required or get motivated on their own to write goals at the
end of the year as they look forward to a fresh start. However, it is important to
remember that you can't simply write goals and forget about them. Now, at the
end of the month and the end of the quarter, is a great time to revisit your goals,
or write a few if you haven't already.

In this newsletter issue, four of our experts have contributed articles on the topic
of goal setting:   

-How to Use the Right Questions to Define Your Goals By Paul Cherry

Subject: Sales Tips: Top 10 Factors for Getting Salespeople to Overachieve
推销帖士:让销售员超额(完成目标)的十大因素

Hello Bruce,
您好薄如思,

As we quickly approach the of end the month and the end of the second quarter,
it is crucial to put something back onto your radar that you may or may not have
thought about since late December or early January: your 2008 goals.

随着我们很快地步近六月底,即第二个季末,把一些事情放回到您的雷达里(类似待办事项的东东?)至关重要,一些自12月底或1月初起您可能想过或没有想过的(目标):您2008年的那些目标。

Salespeople are often required or get motivated on their own to write goals at the
end of the year as they look forward to a fresh start. However, it is important to
remember that you can't simply write goals and forget about them. Now, at the
end of the month and the end of the quarter, is a great time to revisit your goals,
or write a few if you haven't already.

在年终期待一个崭新的开始之时,销售员常自我要求或自我激励写下目标。然而,重要的是要记住您不能简单地写下目标又忘记了它们。现在,值月底及季末之际,回顾您的那些目标,或者写下几条您尚未写下的目标,好时机也。

1. 个人觉得开发信应简洁,但要把能给客户带来价值的信息表达完整,篇幅长或短,要视乎具体内容;记得老师有一次提到过:能一个字表达的,勿用两个字。

2.  发现了4个吸引读者的热点:
a. 标题 -Top 10 Factors for Getting Salespeople to Overachieve;
b. 制定目标 - Write goals at the of end the month and the end of the second quarter;
c. 专家在线 - four of our experts have contributed articles on the topic of goal setting;
d. 获得让读者认识的机会 - We will share your ideas on www.EyesOnSales.com and in our next newsletter!

抛砖引玉,希望看到更多朋友的发现;也期待着老师的精彩评讲。

引用《小小开发信、订单滚滚来》中的两段说明:
==========================================
关于标题长度的说明
一个标题里应该包含多少个单词呢?你也许曾经多次读到过:标题不应超过某某限定的字数。但是,这里我们要指出的是:前面引用的许多标题和后面的很多其它标题,按一般意义来说都是相当的长。然而,尽管很长,它们却非常成功。当然,标题长度超过它所需要表达的基本作用是不明智的。但是,不要担心自己使用比通常情况更长的标题 -- 如果你充分突出了标题中的兴趣焦点而且表达清晰醒目,如果你的标题向读者承诺了针对性的好处而且非常鲜明似乎象是读者的名字出现在了标题中。这里,值得一提的是哈特﹒麦克思(即哈特、沙夫纳和马克思合伙公司的哈特)和他的广告经纪人乔治﹒靼尔(广告巨人,已故世)的故事。他们曾为广告长度问题争论过。为了最终赢得争论,靼尔先生说:“我以10美元打赌,我能写出一个报纸整版大小的全部是文字的广告,让你一字不漏读完它。”哈特先生对这种说法嗤之以鼻。靼尔先生回答道:“我不需要真正地写作一行来证明我的论点,我只要告诉你标题是:这一整版内容是关于哈特﹒麦克思的!”
==========================================
2)外贸开发信是不是越短越好?
简单明了是任何开发信的写作原则,但这个不是说越短越好。外贸开发信简简单单,只有一二句话,可以是一种形式;外贸开发信长篇大论,详细介绍你的产品和服务的突出优点,并且始终突出对客户的利益和好处,也会给人留下深刻印象。这里的关键点在于:你是不是能够始终紧扣WWIFM法则,让对方饶有兴趣地从头到尾地读完你的外贸开发信。
有很多外贸开发信,尽管写得不长,可是其中词句拼写错误、文字不通顺、内容假大空,可以让对方看得火冒三丈,逼迫他跳起来写骂人的回复,让你不要再打搅他。可悲的是,写这样开发信的外贸同行往往还以为自己是对的、自己的水平很不错。不反省自己,却总是认为是因为对方没有礼貌、对方是错误的。
更多的时候,我们看到的国内外贸企业的开发信总是啰啰嗦嗦地说上一大堆文绉绉别扭扭的空话。归结起来,无非就是说:我们价格低廉、我们质量高、我们是生产商等三句老生常谈。如果你的公司、产品、服务等真是那么回事,那你还不如直截了当说上这三句,并以确凿图象或数据证明一下:“We are making XYZ here in China. Our price is the lowest and our quality is the highest. Here is the proof.” 可惜,真有几家有这种气势说话?
==========================================
供各位参考。
并欢迎批评。
