Email template for respectfully declining unsolicited requests to meet from vendors
In my career I have came across two types of vendors. Type A: Vendors who were recommendations from friends, family, co-workers and executives or they obtained your contacts from conference meet ups or well established public companies looking to add your company to their partner list. Type B: everyone else.
Its usually best just to ignore type B, as majority of these emails are from bulk account and your response is no different then responding to spam. For type A however, its best to respond politely, as you may run into them in future. Below is the email template taken from Rajiv Pant.
