At Supplier.io, we streamline the connection between suppliers and potential buyers using our Explorer platform. Here’s how buyers can easily find your business:
Step 1: Keyword Search
Buyers typically begin their search by entering a keyword or phrase related to their needs, such as “tank cleaning.” This initial search helps to bring up relevant supplier profiles.
Step 2: Refining Results
To fine-tune the search results, buyers apply various filters. Common filters include:
- Revenue Range
- Number of Employees
- Industry
- Location
- Diversity
- Size
- Product Category
Tip: Blank or expired fields on your profile will exclude you from results when those filters are applied. Make sure your company details (revenue, industries, certifications) are accurate and up to date to increase your chances of being noticed. Consider reviewing your profile quarterly or whenever there are significant changes to your business.
Step 3: Viewing Profiles
Upon finding a supplier that matches their criteria, buyers can click on the business name to view a detailed profile. This profile includes:
- Contact Information (ensure this is accurate!)
- Product Offerings
- Certifications
- Customer Reviews
Step 4: Connecting with Suppliers
If buyers are interested in your offerings, they have multiple options to connect:
- Save Profile: For future reference, buyers can save your profile to their list.
- Direct Contact: Buyers can use the provided contact information to reach out via email or phone.
By ensuring your profile is complete and up-to-date, you increase the likelihood of being discovered and contacted by potential buyers through Supplier.io.
