How to Respond to Buy Leads and Buyer Requirements

- Check quantity, destination and required timeline.
- Avoid contacting leads outside your real capability.
Prepare the response
- Reference the requirement.
- State matching product/specification.
- Provide MOQ, currency, price basis and lead time where appropriate.
- Mention relevant documents or certifications factually.
Keep the conversation professional
- Do not request sensitive credentials.
- Keep important commercial terms documented.
- Use a formal quotation when the buyer is ready to compare offers.
