Hi,
I shared this with the board, and they're all very interested. Could you give me some contact details for further discussion? Also, do you share some information about your company's finances? The board wants to ensure that any company we do business with is financially solvent.

Hi,
I'm just waiting to hear back from the board. Could you perhaps offer some discount, to sway them?

Hello,
That is reasonable, thanks, but do you think you can go into more detail about your main product? How can it benefit our company exactly?

Dear Virginia Fischer,

Actually I don't know what's your business, so I don't know how to evaluate the benefit we can bring you. This is an open access journal. We help those who want to publish academic research works, which can be seen or downloaded by readers for free.

Please feel free to ask us if you have any question.

Hello,
That sounds great. What sort of volumes are we looking at? What can you reasonably provide, and what turnaround times are we expecting? We're a pretty agile organization and would like to expedite delivery on this.

Hello,
That sounds great, could you give us a small example of what this would look like for us? It would be great if you could customize the example to our business a bit.
