How to reply to this kind of inquiry??

Hi, all. I am new here, and would like to ask for your help.[A Professional Business Forum]3B3{$d8z4A$\*P9^"@!c.O
I just start working in a trading firm for a week now. After sending out those fist introduction emails, I got reply from customers who's asking me for the full set of price list. According our company's policy, we're not suppose to send the list out to customer. Pls show me how to reply politely. Tks.

Thank u all for ur kind suggestions.

After sending out emails for asking more specif details, some of them don't reply me back.

Should I send them another email or just ignore them? Bcoz it seems that they aren't really interesting in our products, or they're just shopping around 4 the price, right?

some customers just want to get the price information from different suppliers.

Ask your customer which styles does he/she prefer, then give he/she price list for those he/she interested in.

this is the problem we face to every day. just tell him "due to our many models, sorry that we can't send all price list to you. Could u plz advise the models u actually interested in? So i will quote to you promptly. I think it will be more effective and save yr time. what do u think about?"

I sent many letters to potential customer, only receive 3 letters in 3 weeks. However, the customers who give me reply is not the customer that i want.
