Ask the Right Questions Before Preparing a Quote
Gmail · reply draft for reviewThank you for your interest in our ML-02 metal lockers. To prepare a quotation for 240 units, could you confirm dimensions, door layout, color requirements, and destination port? We will verify pricing and lead time for the confirmed configuration.
Draft basis: illustrative buyer email and product documentation. Price, certifications, and lead time await confirmation.
Pick Up Where the Buyer Left Off
Prepare quotation materials once configuration is confirmed. Follow up on samples after dispatch. If there is no reply by the agreed date, prepare a relevant message. CRM updates and sending require authorization.

Start With One Real Buyer Inquiry
Replace the customer, email scope, and product information. Review one result before setting up ongoing follow-up.
Ongoing Buyer Inquiry Follow-Up
Keep following up on [customer/email thread] in [market]. Use authorized email, supplied product documentation, and related [HubSpot/Pipedrive/spreadsheet] records to summarize requirements, confirmed facts, gaps, and current stage with source links. Draft a reply first; prices, certifications, lead times, and attachments require my review. After we verify the first result, check replies and due follow-ups on [working days/time zone/frequency] and send summaries to [destination]. Do not send email or modify CRM without authorization. Check the latest reply and existing records before acting to avoid duplicate follow-up.
Before You Get Started
What kind of inquiries is this for?
B2B buyer requests about product selection, bulk purchasing, samples, and quotations. Marketplace after-sales or delivery questions should be handled separately using the corresponding order records.
Do I need two CRMs?
No. HubSpot and Pipedrive are alternatives. Choose the one your team already uses, or start with a spreadsheet or exported records.
Will Leina quote or send emails automatically?
This example requests drafts for review first. Quotes need reliable product, cost, and logistics information. Sending or updating customer records requires supported operations and authorization. Ongoing follow-up follows your agreed scope.
