Start with product fit
- State whether you can supply the requested product/specification.
- Mention relevant variants only if they are genuinely useful alternatives.
Include commercial basics
- Price or quotation basis and currency.
- MOQ and available quantity.
- Production/dispatch lead time.
- Payment and shipping terms where appropriate.
Keep the message useful
- Avoid generic promotional paragraphs.
- Ask concise questions where specifications are missing.
- Do not pressure the buyer to move immediately to an unprotected channel.
