Knowing “who buys what, where” is half the sales game

Global trade isn’t just about moving goods across borders—it’s about knowingwhich buyers exist in which countries, andwhat they’re buying over time.

Without this clarity, international sales teams often waste time on cold leads, miss active markets, or over-invest in stagnant regions.

That’s whyB2B buyer mapping—the process of visualizing buyer behavior across geographies—is now essential for data-driven sales planning.

What isB2B buyer mappingin practice?

Instead of starting with a vague idea like “I want to find customers for lithium batteries,” you begin by asking:

• Which countries are importing this product most actively?

• Who are the top 50 buyers of this category in the last 12 months?

• Which ports, regions, or cities do they operate from?

• How frequently do they order, and from whom?

UsingSaleAI’s Company Report Agent, you can answer all of these questions in one interface—based on real customs and business data.

How theCompany Report Agentworks for buyer mapping

You start with a product name, HS code, or competitor company.

The system returns a structured, visual map of:

• Active buyer companies by country

• Shipment frequency and volumes

• Top importing regions or ports

• Related suppliers and trade links

• Product trends over time in that region

You can drill down by year, filter by geography, and export leads directly into your CRM or campaign list.

Why this matters for export and market expansion teams

Let’s say you want to grow in Latin America but don’t know where to start.

Using buyer mapping, you discover:

• Mexico and Colombia have high activity in your product category

• The top 10 buyers are mid-sized firms importing quarterly

• They mostly source from Vietnam and Germany—not yet from your region

• Some use consistent HS codes across shipments, simplifying outreach

Now, you’re not just guessing—you’re planning with intelligence.

Real use cases of buyer mapping

• An LED manufacturer used buyer mapping to shift marketing to five new EU countries based on consistent import volume

• A battery supplier spotted three rising importers in Eastern Europe not yet contacted by their competitors

• A sales manager used buyer frequency and port data to choose the best location for a local trade show booth
