Have your ever droppd a customer?

Today I have made up my mind to drop some of my customer.I don't know if you have ever met such things ，felt hard to continue the talk with them any more and finally made up your mind to quit.
Kt0Do*{4` s_ But it mkes me feel so fussy because I know how hard it is to find one and I'm not sure that if I have really tried my best to settle those problems arose.:o
IU*`k-U(w How terrible it is!

i haven't met it before. because i just follow up the orders no need to develop  clients.1{E}R+?XU'vt

Hey,my friend,i believe you meet some problems between your talkings,i wish you try again,if it is still problems,i think there is no other choice to quit it
$Kb&k)b3}1GL and i ever did this things,last i dropped my customer coz we were really  hard to deal with business

I also met this kind of questions , sometimes , we have no idea but to give up the customers.
Z4z-V aE)\w m~3nc}$j But in fact , many people say it is very hard to do interrantional trading , and we should nerver give up any customers. :)

To tell the truth, I have dropped several customers. Giving up a customer is very common, just as some customer give up our supplier.

!n)uT,Jv Nowdays, more and more buyers come to China, some among which is really rubbish. So, what we could do is opening more customers, and select the ones suitable for us. International business is also a mutual section butween buyer & supplier.

I AGREE WITH U ,BUSINESS IS BUSINESS . it based on benefit and always with risk, in my opinion ,it's no big deal of drop a customer,

you are all very stronger ,i feel that finding clients is very difficult

you can eat the cake and have it .remember you can't get anyting without lose.

oh ,shit~!

I think that this individual problem is no matter, as long as the attitude-being, perseveringly continued development of new customers and maintain existing customers.

My company gave me a loyal customer from switzeland. While He is a small buyer. each time he only purchases around 500pcs. Last time, he gave me another project, silicone tubes. Oh my God! :Q The total amount for this lot is less then 100usd,::L I am so annoyed at him.:L

Do not worry.I think you can do better in future.

:) Firstly,I would like to thank you guys all since I nearly forgot my own post in the past few days but you were still trying to encourge or otherwise help me.;T`V!r8da-T
Secondly,I want to share with you about things happened after that.
9C;|3@!V&_`s The guy whom I  actually dropped then finally placed  an order of 500pcs to me.You may think that you should congratulate me now right? But you will never know how stupid the thing is after that:I accepted his order considering that I have been devoting myself to that and this was just a trial oder as he said, but after I have done all the design and mass work before production,he just dissapeared as well as his cellphone,telephone and e-mail.e(T!` l*u?
The whole thing was suddenly stopped although all confirmation has been made by him.
sEf.mdG.F;~c\ Anyway,I'm not angry and oppositly feel a little felicitating myself on this.:) l/H\6d1{"L:Y
how funny it is!

dump a customer as you dump a girlfriend?.... [uo+XW~/Z.v
umh....it's a tiny tiny little different... you dump a girl, you dump a trouble. you dump a customer, you dump a trouble either...but you also dump a chance that your stupid customer might introduce a new one to you, who's fitting better? who knows...

I don''t know whom you were talking to  since you said that "like dump a girl.

But I got your idea .a}B0d!x
You know what I think? I feel that it's unfair to compare this issue with things happened between lovers.&b&P S6t2q,J
Anyways,you do not run to love for money right,excepting those who really treat it as their careers or money source...I don't know if it is the right word...

well...uhm....I wasn't meant to hurt a girl's feeling in such a way.....what I can explain...is that I am a guy, so that I use "girlfriend" If I was a girl I will use "boyfriend" instead....business is related to the money only, friendship is bullshit, it's more like politics...anyway If I need to define love...it's gonna take a day or a month, but trouble is part of relationship, so ignore me if you don't like my analogy. by the way.....you are too sensitive...no offence...and it's totally cool with me.

:) OK.&}-@

Obviously,I'm  more sensitive than what you think...But I'm also a girl who would prefer to those disagree voices.
