Replying to [johnleo]:Good for u John. I did get a buyer when I was a trustpass member in 2005. One unit only but that made me realise that there are genuine buyer in Alibaba. Buyer even paid to my supplier by cash.
I strived on. Even though didnt renew my trustpass, I carry on and manage to get two more buyers.
For all members infos, I am a marketing consultant for a few suppliers and I have manage to find buyers for three of my products, teak furniture, zircon sand and palm oil.
I hope, all you guys who is just starting in Alibaba to be patient. There are genuine buyers but we must have the experienced needed to analyse all those inquiries - genuine or otherwise.
First, congratulations! John! Although online business is still budding compared with traditional business, it is a leading trend in the future. So, never give up!
You are quite right. Businesses both online and offiline are not without risks. Every trader has to use your own business experience to conduct safer business.
Replying to [johnleo]: Yes you are right>>>> I would like to add, ..... Fortunately, thanks God, i got my first order in the first month of my registration as free member. Later on having a little response, i decieded to be Trustpass membership. Now i get 5-8 inquiries everyday.
I beleive that hard work is the key to success. So if you want success, do hard work.
Replying to [johnleo]: at first, gratulation to u. yes, u r right, we should pay more patient for the business, and i believe we will be successed in one day!
Replying to [johnleo]:You are very lucky! I have not find the client so far,for I have use it only several months,sometime I doubt.but now we will persist in .
