It's very kind of you. Thanks for your great information.

This problem is not only catch you but an internatinal confusion for sales somehow.Too much reason can be list ,e.g:
1>the client didn't get your letter
2>the client still compare the price with other supplier
3>the client can not make the dedisin,coz he is not the boss
4>the one you contact with is not the final buyer ,they need to get order from their customer
5>your price is too high than their target price  

I , sometime feel that as a trader,instead of wondering why customers never responded to your offer in time we much firstly ask ourself if we have done a proper offer in term of pricing, timing etc. Second, ask yourself if  your business model and  poducts are competitive enough to enter into the market.  sell your products at the right price, right place to the right people at the right time.

Hi Buddies : I am really sorry for the belated reply as i did not surf this section lately.
1) whenever you have met an Indian customer, please try to identify his business status,whether he is a traders, importer, end user or financier ( the one who does not directly handle the business but only provide the financing) . This is important as it would decide the  business negotiation method you use.
2) Indian by nature are very suspicious person especially among Indian, therefore , you should not reveal such information like to whom you have dealt with in India etc to another Indian, reason also because most import into India are undervalue to avoid heavy taxes which is illegal.
3) D/P  with deposit upfront are commom payment term as most Indian company do not want to have any trade finance arrangement with bankers to avoid income tax. therefore, a private financier has emerged, this person usually has a overseas connection in Dubai, hong kong, London or Singapore to do the financing with a fee.
4) There are many more and it depends case by case, pls email me okurakk@yahoo.com.cn if you want my two cents worth of advice

i also think it's different to do business with the India customers
the agent want the low price and the OEM factory want the low price and also the good quality, so what should I do now ?

and also, the Indian are not easy to talk about the cooperation.
