Drugdu.com expert’s response: When engaging in pharmaceutical foreign trade, you often receive very short inquiries that simply say: “Send me your catalog.” Some buyers only leave their country and email address, with no mention of specific products, purchase quantities, or whether they are importers, distributors or end users. Many suppliers’ first reaction is to send over the company catalog directly. It is a dozens-of-page PDF covering a full product line, complete with images, parameters and company introduction. After sending it, they just wait for the buyer’s reply. But more often than not, there is no follow-up response. It is not that the catalog is completely useless. The problem is that when you send the entire catalog directly, the buyer may not bother to read it carefully. Especially for products like APIs, excipients, medical devices and consumables, buyers rarely go through a catalog “just browsing casually”. They probably already have a ...
