RFQ feature is specifically designed to connect Real Sellers with Real Buyers through our easy to use messaging interface. If you are a Buyer, you can easily send your request to tens / hundreds of predefined Top Member Sellers, those Sellers that specified they regularly sell the product(s) you wish to buy. This is a unique way to instanly get quotes for the products you wish to buy (if you are a Buyer) or simply present your offer on a specified product to matching buyers (if you are a Seller). RFQs are only sent to Top Members, so if you would like to receive RFQs from potential buyers, you are advised to Become a Top Member.

With AutoContact, we invite matching buyers and sellers on behalf of you to review your profile and get in touch with you if they have interest in doing business with you. This is an extremely cost effective way to promote your company, products and offers since it is highly targeted to the demands or supplies of the buyers and sellers. By becoming a Top Member, you'll automatically be qualified for the AutoContact feature. No doubt, the higher your membership plan the more AutoContacts will be sent automatically on behalf of you to the matching members!
Automated Product Matching & Promotion
The Automated Product Matching & Promotion feature is exclusively a Top Member feature. When registering to our B2B Network, members indicate us the products they are regularly buying. We are matching these Buyer Needs with existing Top Member Products and promote by direct e-mail the products posted by our Top Members. To effectively use this feature, you are invited to Become a Top Member and post as many products as you have. Your Products will be promoted to our matching Buyer base. Important Note: All the Products you add to our marketplace as a Top Member are being promoted using the Automated Product Matching & Promotion. It is advised to post as many products as you can using different product names, so they are found by our automated software when searching for products our members would like to buy.
