收到款项或信用证后,业务员开始组织生产或发货。在采用CIF和CFR发货前,在货款已经通过T/T方式结清的情况下,卖家要及时租船订舱,并安排报关、通关事宜。发货后,业务员要向客户提供商业发票和装箱单,供客户在目的港清关时使用。下面将分情况介绍发货前后业务员应该注重的工作环节。
在采用FOB 和T/T方式付款的情况下,卖家应该及时和客户指定的货运代理进行物流的对接。而在采用信用证方式付款的情况下,卖家应该在发货后,凭信用证上规定的发票、装箱单等单据找议付行议付货款。下面以采用CIF 和 CFR 发货前货款已经通过T/T方式结清的情况为例,列举业务员应该和客户沟通的事宜。
在生产过程中,业务员应及时跟踪生产进度并向客户汇报。生产进度的汇报包括产品生产过程中的照片,已经完成和即将进行的生产工序,预计完工时间,是否可以在合同期内发货等内容。
示例如下。
