1st. Buyers prefer to search for matching suppliers directly on Alibaba which is quite efficient and they only need about 3~10 suppliers to compare products and transaction terms. Usually buyers can find these 3~10 suppliers directly on the first 3 pages.
2nd. Some buyers also choose to post Buying Request. Usually buyers would receive the satisfactory results in the first 48 hours . And if more emails keep coming in, they would simply do one thing "Delete, delete, delete...".
3rd. The biggest concern of buyers is about fraud when sourcing online. Because they are even not sure whether the company they contact is real and whether the person is reliable. They prefer to trust in any qualification provided by Alibaba.
So to win buyers, you should have:
1st. Listing Priority - buyers can find you first and fast, send you inquiries directly
2nd. Unrestricted Buyer Access - you can contact any buyers, esp. exclusive access to the Buyers' buying request.
3rd. Alibaba Pre-Qualifications (eg. Gold Supplier Qualification) - you can win buyers' confidence to contact you at the first glance
You can ONLY have all these benefits when you have joined Gold Supplier membership, which is a paid membership that can give you 22 times more serious inquiries. Would you like to join now?
