I'm working for a small importing company. I have to call every Adidas outlet stores around Toronto, and ask them about their inventories.\nHow can I say this in a business-man-like manner?\nWould it be okay to say,\n\n"Hi, my name is Whatever. I'm thinking of making bulk purchase, and I was wondering whether I could get a list of your inventories, please."\n\nIs that alright?? Please don't just say it's good or not; even if you think it's good, please re-word in your own words.\n\nI'm desperate, so... please don't just skip....

I am not in that kind of business but I was taught that it is best to start with \n\nGood morning/afternoon...simply because most people don't pay attention to the first words (busy doing something else).\nYou should state whom you are working for too...and the reason why you asking for information.\n\nI am working for......and I am presently doing a survey about...Reason/because is....bla bla... I would appreciate it very much if/ I would appreciate if you could answer my request/ I would be very grateful ..(be grateful..if you want people to help !)

If this is a business letter confirming...something...the format is wrong.\n\n                                                                           Mr. Your Name\n                                                                            Your Company\n                                                                             Address\n                                                                            Date of Letter\n\nMr. Jeffrey Name\nHis Company\nCompany Address\n\nDear Mr. ?:\n\nAttached are five of the three-dimensional drawings that you requested. Please review them and let us know if you will require any changes. We will be forwarding the remaining drawings tomorrow.\n\nSincerely,\nPeter\n\nBe aware that you may always want to start the letter with a kind statement of some sort, depending on how well you know the person you are corresponding with. "I would like to thank you for the opportunity to: ......provide you with our services...OR...It was nice to see you and Diane again...\n\nYour name and address is to the right of the page and his to the left, his below yours (It will not allow me to space properly here).

I dont know about the shops location..it usual matters A LOT\nTaking into consideration the brands you named you already tried to extend business activities into disparate fields of brands...since that didnt work you might as well try and go for something new.\nIf you have young customers passing your shop I would suggest to at least start one display window with - you wont like it, I know - rappers outfit (street/sportswear). Wouldnt mean degrading your store, most of these clothings are quite expensive so it wouldnt be scaring away your present customers, would just help you to diversify.

The gentleman's full name will go in the address portion of your letter.  I'm curious about your use of the word "prosecution, " as that generally refers to a criminal action.  Also, you may want to include Mr. Raad's first name, and possibly his telephone number. Your text should read as follows:\n\nDear Mr. Giochi:\n\nWe have received the catalogs you sent.  Thank you very much for your attention and prosecution.  It was a pleasure getting to know your company; we were greatly impressed by the quality of your products.\n\nWe have added your company to our vendor list, and if we can collaborate on future projects, we will contact you.\n\nPlease feel free to contact Mr. _______ Raad, our manager of foreign commerce, if you have any questions or concerns.\n\nRegards,

Definitely ask - some companies will frown on it because of bugs or cleaning purposes (even if you're not messy).  If you're new to the company that's definitely a legitimate question (and chances are they'll appreciate you taking the time to ask).

A mission statement won't sell more cones. Period.\nBut it is something that you can hang on the wall for every employee to see. The fact that the owners are sharing their vision with everyone, in itself, is a great team builder.\n\nI would include language about your dedication to the quality of your product and your commitment to exceed (not meet) customer expectations with EVERY transaction. Your mission is to be the preferred vendor above all others.\n\nGood luck. You can do it.

Good Morning\nWould you like a free hot cup of coffee?\nIf he says yes then you give him the cup and ask him\nDo you have a cell phone?\nIf he says no then you show him one and ask him\nDo you want one for $9.99? (I don't know the price)\nIf he says yes then you have just sold a phone\nRepeat again\nInvest in a few disposable glasses and bring your coffee machine to you office.\nKeep records of how many cells are you selling before and after this new sales pitch. If it works then ask your boss to start paying you for the glasses and for the coffee.

I've found that calling the place instead of waiting on them to call you back is very helpful.  You can call and ask about the status of your application or call and speak to a manager and ask tell them that you've filled out an application and are very interested in pursuing that job.  I work two jobs at the mall...both places I filled out an application, and then called about 3 days later to check the status.  When I called, (showing my interest in the job), both asked me if I would like to come in for an interview.  Also, make sure that when you go to fill out applications, you're dressed like you were going to an interview.  Don't pick up an application in jeans, go dressed nicely and always ask to speak to a manager.  That way, you can speak directly to the person in charge.  Ask when they will be working again, so you can turn your application in directly to them.  Hope this helps!

Use 'it', or the name, if it's someone else's company - "Pfizer is the largest company of its kind." If it's your own company you can use 'we' - "We are the largest manufacturers of codswallop in Asia."\n\nYou normally use 'she' for vessels - ships, planes, maybe cars if you like! ; ) It's only used for an object that can 'carry' another object inside it.

I just met a fella that is going through negotiations with Honda for a motorcycle / ATV franchise...depending on your favorite or preferred make, that might be an option.  I have also met people that become dealers such as you see with cars - google your preference, and see what pops up.  The other thing you can do to give yourself more leeway with what you stock for inventory is to contact your state offices (ask a car dealer where to go for numbers), and get a license to sell anything with an engine, then set up a lot / shop for cycles (new & used).  I've seen some great shops in the last couple of years... there's some brilliant things you can do with this idea.

Not a question, but I'll write it for you.\n\n"Dear whoever. I am proposing a search of sponsors for an event. -Thanks, dudes!"\n\nIt's good. Use it. Just be short and vague.

Yeah, I see 3 problems with your question.\n\n1. You don't give enough information. (buyers for what?  from where?)\n2. Your comments are completely different from your question.  You ask about buyers, then make a personal ad??  What's that about?\n3. This ad could all too easily be misintrepted (I hope!) as you wanting to sell YOURSELF.  I assume that wasn't your intention.

I think I would start by contacting local businesses which you would want to sell your product. Ask them how they get the goods they sell. If it's from a warehouse ask for the name and some contact details. I think I might try and avoid some of the big chains because they may be expecting a large quantity and a regular supply of goods.

you need to make one correction. "A follow-up sales call would be APPRECIATED". Omit "in most cases".

Be very proud of yourself that you are an admitted thief....what a nice thing to tell us about your character. And you are certainly trustworthy, aren't you. Do you really think the boss isn't going to notice the inventory missing? Sorry, but time to grow up. Perhaps the boss thought you were all cleaning up, serving customers, ya know, the stuff you were being paid to do???? But with your work ethics, what a stupid thing to think. Sure wish I knew where you work (I use the term VERY loosely)...you wouldn't be there long. Grow up fast. You will all be fired very soon. I certainly hope you do not need this job as a reference.
