banks opinion as to a particular customers ability to meet a given financial transaction or commitment.The originator of a status enquiry should send the enquiry directly to the bank which holds the account of the customer concerned,But broadly speaking,in doing business anyone or any company can make a status enquiry,through different channels,to ask for information about a certain company or any other business organizations.If you are to get information about a certain company with which you intend to do business or establish business relations,you should try your best to obtain information about the companys financial standing,the credit,business reputation and ways of doing business.,2.Why do you have to make a status enquiry esp.before you do business with a certain company?,An enquiry normally asks for opinion as to the means and standing of a customer,and the customers trustworthiness in the way of business,the amount may be for a single transaction or series of transactions.In business transactions with foreign customers,making such an enquiry is even more important and necessary.The more you know about who you intend to do business with,the more realistic you can be in negotiations.It is a good idea to make a record of the related issues such as market prices,past few months of business and whether company is making or losing money,who are representing the company.You can also try to chat with the employees,talk with companies that do business with the company,and get any information available to public about financial position of that company.,3.What does a reply to a status enquiry look like?,If you have to make a reply to a status enquiry,youd better let the facts speak for themselves.That is to say,stick purely to the facts;avoid praise,criticisms and opinions of any sort.Let the recipients draw their own conclusions.Claim that this information is given in good faith and without recourse or something similar.Not only is this unnecessary if you keep to the facts,but its inclusion suggests that you have no confidence in what you are saying or in the customer.There is another thing to be mentioned:if your status inquires are headed Confidential or Private and Confidential,readers will pay special attention and care will be taken not to disclose their contents.If a third party trades with a customer whom you have recommended or criticized turn out to be different from what you comment,then your relations between either of them will seriously affected.,II.,商界名言,Business Sayings,1.The tongue is not
