Why are there always people who think the best way to increase their sales is by spamming the board?

You know, the sort that act like they don’t know where to post their trade leads - posting Sell Leads on the Buy pages, filling their posts with urls to their sites, putting their site urls in the subject field.

Well the first is a waste of time on our trade portal (because Buy and Partner trade leads have to be approved) and the other spamming techniques will only scare potential buyers off. Why? Because Buyers will only do business with those they can trust.

If you want to start building that trust you’ll have to put away the spam and:

• Behave in a responsible and professional manner
• Be ready to produce references
• Show you have a reputable business
• Show evidence of your time in business
• Show you have high quality products to sell
• Show you have the processes in place for dealing with international markets
