一、年末催单方法与技巧
（一）了解客户情况
在催单之前，务必对客户的业务状况、订单历史、市场动态等进行全面了解。这有助于判断客户延迟下单的可能原因，从而制定更有针对性的催单策略。例如，如果知道客户所在行业正在经历旺季，可能需要稍微延迟催单时间；若客户近期有新品推出计划，可结合新品关联产品进行催单推荐。
（二）把握催单时机
节假日和特殊事件前后：在客户所在国家或地区的重要节假日（如圣诞节、感恩节、新年等）之前，提前一段时间发送催单信息。因为很多客户会在节假日前完成采购计划，以便在假期后能及时开展业务。例如，对于欧美客户，在感恩节（11 月第四个星期四）前一个月左右开始适度催单是较为合适的时机。
促销活动期间：如果自身企业或所在行业有促销活动，如年终大促、清仓活动等，及时通知客户并提醒下单可享受优惠。这不仅能刺激客户下单，还能让客户感受到实惠。比如，“Our year-end clearance sale is coming soon. You can enjoy up to 50% off on selected products. It's a great opportunity to place your order and save costs.”（我们的年终清仓大促即将来临。部分产品可享五折优惠。这是您下单节省成本的绝佳机会。）
（三）提供价值信息
产品更新与升级：告知客户产品的改进之处，如新功能、更好的质量、更环保的材料等。例如，“Our latest product version has enhanced durability and added a new intelligent control function, which can improve your production efficiency. It would be a great addition to your business.”（我们的最新产品版本增强了耐用性并新增了智能控制功能，可提升您的生产效率。它将是您业务的有力补充。）
行业趋势与市场情报：分享一些与客户业务相关的行业趋势、市场动态或竞争对手信息，让客户意识到及时下单对其保持竞争力的重要性。比如，“According to the latest market research, the demand for [product type] is expected to increase significantly in the next quarter. Placing an order now can ensure you have sufficient inventory to meet the market needs.”（根据最新市场研究，[产品类型] 的需求预计在下个季度大幅增长。现在下单可确保您有足够库存满足市场需求。）
（四）制造紧迫感
限量供应策略：告知客户产品数量有限，如原材料供应紧张、生产批次有限或特价产品数量有限等。例如，“We only have a limited quantity of [product name] left in stock. Once these are sold out, the production will be postponed until next year, and the price may also increase. It is advisable to place your order as soon as possible.”（我们的 [产品名称] 库存数量有限。一旦售罄，生产将推迟到明年，价格也可能上涨。建议您尽快下单。）
价格调整预警：提前通知客户即将到来的价格上涨，让客户明白延迟下单可能会导致成本增加。例如，“Due to the rising cost of raw materials and exchange rate fluctuations, our product prices will be adjusted upward by 10% starting from [specific date]. To lock in the current price, please place your order before that date.”（由于原材料成本上升和汇率波动，我们的产品价格将从 [具体日期] 起上调 10%。为锁定当前价格，请在该日期前下单。）
（五）个性化沟通
根据客户的不同特点和偏好，采用个性化的催单方式。对于注重价格的客户，重点强调优惠和成本节省；对于关注品质的客户，详细介绍产品的质量管控和认证情况；对于长期合作且关系密切的客户，可以采用更亲切、随和的语气。例如，对于一位与公司合作多年且注重品质的老客户，可以这样写：“Dear [Customer Name], you have always been our valued partner who appreciates the finest quality. Our new production line has implemented even stricter quality control measures. I believe these upgraded products will meet your high standards. Looking forward to receiving your order soon.”（亲爱的 [客户姓名]，您一直是我们珍视的合作伙伴，对品质有着极高要求。我们的新生产线实施了更严格的质量控制措施。我相信这些升级后的产品将符合您的高标准。期待尽快收到您的订单。）
二、年末催单媒介
（一）电子邮件
电子邮件是外贸催单最常用的媒介。它具有正式、便捷、可记录等优点。邮件内容应简洁明了、重点突出，主题要有吸引力且能准确传达邮件主旨。例如，主题可以是 “Urgent: Christmas Order Reminder for [Company Name]”（紧急：[公司名称] 圣诞订单提醒）。在邮件正文中，详细阐述催单的原因、产品的优势、优惠信息等，并附上清晰的产品图片、规格参数、价格清单以及下单链接或联系方式。推荐AB客营销邮件，99%送达率，免费送200封！
（二）电话沟通
电话催单能够直接与客户交流，及时了解客户的反馈和顾虑。在打电话之前，要做好充分准备，熟悉客户信息和订单详情，列出通话要点。通话时，注意语气礼貌、热情，先与客户寒暄几句，建立良好的沟通氛围，然后再切入催单主题。例如，“Hello, [Customer Name]. This is [Your Name] from [Company Name]. How are you? I'm calling to follow up on the order we discussed last time. I know you are very busy, but our year-end promotion is about to end, and I don't want you to miss this great opportunity.”（您好，[客户姓名]。我是 [公司名称] 的 [您的名字]。您最近怎么样？我打电话是想跟进一下我们上次讨论的订单。我知道您很忙，但我们的年终促销即将结束，我不想让您错过这个好机会。）
（三）即时通讯工具
如 WhatsApp、Skype 等即时通讯工具在国际商务沟通中也越来越常用。通过即时通讯工具催单，可以更加及时、便捷地与客户互动，发送文字、图片、视频等多种形式的信息。例如，给客户发送一段产品的演示视频，并附上简短的催单文字：“Hi, [Customer Name]. Check out this video of our new product. It's really amazing. And don't forget our special offer is valid until [deadline]. Let's finalize the order soon.”（嗨，[客户姓名]。看看我们新产品的演示视频。真的很棒。别忘了我们的优惠有效期至 [截止日期]。让我们尽快确定订单吧。）
（四）社交媒体平台
如果与客户在社交媒体上有互动，可以利用社交媒体平台进行催单。例如，在 LinkedIn 上发布关于公司产品的更新动态，并 @相关客户，提醒他们关注产品信息并下单。或者在 Facebook 或 Instagram 上分享一些客户案例、产品使用场景等内容，吸引客户的兴趣，然后私信客户询问订单意向。但要注意在社交媒体上的沟通风格要符合平台特点和客户群体的偏好，避免过于商业化和生硬。
