but start from email is only one of accessiable way to find new buyer.

Email is not favored. You might instead concentrate on producing a high-quality Website with easy-to-access information on your valve offerings. Avoid large PDFs or other memory intensive downloads. If using multiple languages, be sure the translations and editing are good.

why not favored? my job is something like an assistant, the only practical way for me is email, i also recharge my skype accounts(sinolaura) to help contact potential clients.

i surfed online to search for buyers or FAQ, but make no sense,

People do not like unsolicited emails, also known as "spam." If this makes no sense to you, then prepare for failure as a marketer.

Contact a consultant. Have them guide you.

Your initial approach is flawed.

The response you have gotten here has been gentle, so far.

Good by.

If you're starting a new business then you must not delay it. More the earlier, better for you.
