Trade Leads! Trade Leads?

I've got mixed feelings about the value of online trade leads. Those of you who've read my book, Magic Carpet, understand how they can be useful -- and how they can be a waste of time. Nevertheless, here's a great trade lead site if you want to check out the territory: http://www.citd.org/trade_info/sections.cfm?sid=23

Dear Dennis:

I would like to congratulate you for this blogger, it's a great idea.

I have a question for you: don't you like Alibaba as a source of trade leads? I think that they are the best on the Net.

Best regards,
Luiz
 
Hi Luiz,

I like Alibaba also. I believe they are the best buy-and-sell site out there, thanks largely to the way they have of pre-qualifying potential partners. Alibaba is one of the few buy-and-sell sites I do recommend in my book, Magic Carpet.

What I'm trying to say, however, is that traders shouldn't rely exclusively on the Internet to sell their products. Communication, relationships and problem-solving are the ways to be successful in this business.

Thanks for your comments!

Dennis
