No doubt alibaba.com is a good B2B site compared to other B2B sites. By posting selling leads for new products regularly and updating the products in regular intervals, one can get more inquiries. If the product has good market potential, then one will get more quality inquiries and become success in export business in short time, by becoming the member of any good B2B site such as alibaba.com.

Having a company web sites is another part of getting success, in export business. If you don't have a web site, then how your buyers will know about your products/services? Sometimes it is very difficult to explain all the things by mail. One can put all common information in their web sites, and put a link in ther mails. So, having a search engine friendly web site is another part of a successful export business.

Another way is to get enquirers is, first we have to collect the prospective buyers list from any third party agency who provide such informations in the form of CD/Hard copy against payment. But I don't think these are effective as the buyers normally do not like to switchover to a new supplier if they are getting proper service from their existing suppliers.

But 1 million question is that, are these only methods to get quality inquiries and become most success in export business? Is there any other ways to get quality enquirers?
