This type of inquiry is lengthy, but has no relevance to the company or product and lacks any useful information.

This type of inquiry often states that you need to purchase a certain product, and you can only see the image by clicking on the link.

4. Email signature without leaving company name and contact information

This type of foreign trade inquiry is likely to be a disguised peer seeking information.

Although these types of customers have small orders, they often have a lot of demands, which is very labor-intensive. Persisting in following them may not be worth the loss.
