Why Buyer Research is the First Step to Winning Sales
In B2B export sales, sending a quotation without knowing your buyer is like sailing without a map. Many sales agents and salesman agents skip deep research due to time limits, risking wasted effort or even unpaid invoices.
An AI buyer research tool changes this by providing instant, data-backed insights into a buyer’s credibility, activity, and market fit—before you even send the first email.
What to Look for in Buyer Research
A complete buyer profile should include:
-
Company Basics – Name, registration details, location.
-
Trade History – Products imported/exported, transaction frequency, sourcing regions.
-
Market Presence – Website, digital footprint, media mentions.
-
Buying Signals – Participation in trade shows, hiring trends, expansion announcements.
-
Risk Indicators – Legal disputes, low trade activity, inconsistent contact data.
