How to get in touch with potential clients?
Thread Content
I work in the chemical industry, dealing with equipment. Today I suddenly wondered: how can one get in touch with purchasing officers at large chemical companies or food and beverage companies, without having any prior connections? Or is it that to get the project, you actually don’t need to contact them?
Look up the company’s phone number online and call them directly. . . Maybe call the front desk, explain your intention, have them pass it on to the purchasing department, and try to gain their trust. . .
Yes, this is also the contact method that comes to mind most easily; what can be found online are only the phone numbers of the reception desk. All companies’ official websites list only the phone numbers of their sales team in the marketing department and the reception desk. This path seems quite difficult.
It turned out that some suppliers called our company directly to propose a partnership, and after we did our due diligence and found that they were indeed a good choice, we decided to work with them. . . So it’s also a solution. . The most important thing is to gain the other party’s trust. . . It is indeed quite difficult. . Is there anyone who can recommend one? . This one is simpler. . .
Yes, it’s indeed quite difficult; it’s not easy to attract customers’ interest either. . Especially for such equipment suppliers, not every company has projects for procurement at all times.
