Ever wonder how to get a factory to respond to your emails? Do you wonder why nothing comes back when you send out a request? Or maybe you haven’t even sent out any emails yet.
Let me guess, you might be thinking:
- I’m too small. No one would want to work with me.
- I have an idea but I don’t have EVERYTHING figured out yet.
- I have a sample that I love but I want to change a few things and I am NOT an expert.
Then this video is for you! I tell you how to send a clear email to a factory that gives them just the right information so that you:
- Look professional
- Get to the point
- Ask the right questions
What to include in your email
