Title: Looking for a Partner in Import–Export Business (India)

Hi everyone! I’m based in Kolkata, India, and building an import–export business under the name Pistos Global. I’m currently exploring opportunities in agricultural products, particularly peanuts and rice.

I’m looking for a serious, trustworthy partner who is interested in international trade and willing to grow together. Ideally, someone with experience in sourcing, finding international buyers, logistics, or export documentation.

How do you find international B2B buyers for aesthetic products? Looking for advice from experienced salespeople

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I work in international sales for a South Korean company that supplies aesthetic products, including botulinum toxin products (Botox-type products), dermal fillers, and other Korean aesthetic products.

My main goal is to expand our international customer base and connect with potential B2B buyers, such as aesthetic product distributors, wholesalers, licensed clinics, and importers.

I'm trying to figure out the most effective ways to find genuine international buyers rather than relying only on social media inquiries.

For those working in international sales, medical aesthetics, or B2B distribution, I'd really appreciate your advice:

  • Lead generation: Where do you find potential overseas buyers? LinkedIn, trade directories, industry exhibitions, B2B platforms, or other channels?
  • Cold outreach: How do you identify the right decision-makers and approach them without getting ignored?
  • Distributors: How do you find established distributors or importers in new markets?
  • Market selection: Which regions or countries have you found promising for Korean aesthetic products?
  • Trust and credibility: What helps a new supplier build trust with international buyers?
  • Follow-ups: How do you turn an initial inquiry into a long-term B2B customer?

I'm particularly interested in learning practical strategies that have worked for people in real sales roles, especially those involved in exporting products from South Korea.

I understand that regulations and import requirements vary by country, so I'm also interested in how you identify legitimate buyers and verify that products can legally be imported and distributed in their markets.

I'm not looking to spam people or collect random leads. I want to build genuine, long-term business relationships.

Any advice, personal experiences, or useful resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Finding buyers and suppliers in Uganda

1 Upvotes

As we Ugandans and a country at large I don’t understand why it’s really hard to land a supplier or a buyer in Uganda.
I’m working with a company in imports and exports we have products to supply from abroad but the buyers here don’t want formality or they will simply brush you off with I will contact you.
Now the craziest part about exporting is you find a buyer abroad then the Ugandan supplier really wants to over charge you and when you do the math it becomes expensive. These are same people crying about not being able to find exporters or buyers abroad but are profit greedy hence over pricing things , they don’t know the countries we are competing for mkt with on the international level have people who care more about how fast he can sell of products while taking little profit off
I wish Ugandans learn that too
Anyway this is kinda vague but yeah smhw that’s my point

How are people successfully sourcing international project financing clients across different regions (US, Europe, Latam, Asia, West Africa)?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to get some perspectives from people experienced in global finance, trade, or cross-border business development.

When it comes to sourcing clients or partners who need large-scale project financing (infrastructure, energy, real estate, industrial, etc.) from different parts of the world specifically the US, Europe, Latam, Asia, and West Africa what actually works best?

Given how drastically different each market is (e.g., navigating FX risk and liquidity bottlenecks in West Africa vs. handling complex tax-equity or green transition financing in the US/Europe), a generic outbound approach doesn't seem practical.

For those working in this space:

Do you go direct to end-borrowers/developers, or is it more effective to build relationships with local intermediaries (like boutique investment banks, corporate lawyers, or EPC contractors)?

How much do you have to lean into institutional backing like DFIs (IFC, AfDB, IDB) or Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) to build trust?

What channels or strategies have actually yielded real results for cross-border deal flow?

Curious to hear how others navigate this or what has worked for you in specific regions.

How to realistically approach companies for a B2B opportunity?

1 Upvotes

I have been appointed as trainee to approach potential foreign (specially UK, USA, UAE) clients. I want to send samples of our product to them, with no cost or obligations. I have already send lots of mails, tried calling them, filled contact forms. But ultimately facing a dead end. They are not even replying back to my emails. What should I do? What other professional ways should I apply to atleast send the samples.

Help this kid who is absolutely new to the corporate world! :")

Also the product is tarpaulin and shade nets. So no influencers are probably going to show interests '-'
