Sales Note is TradeItβs built-in workspace for managing potential buyers.
After discovering companies through B/L Tracking or other research, exporters need a way to organize, track, and evaluate those buyers.
Sales Note allows exporters to store buyer information, organize buyers into pipeline stages, and track the progress of each potential business opportunity.
This helps exporters manage their buyer discovery and outreach activities in a structured way.
Why Sales Note Matters
During buyer discovery, exporters may identify dozens or even hundreds of potential buyers.
Without a structured system, it can be difficult to keep track of:
- which buyers were discovered
- which companies have been researched
- which buyers have shown interest
- which companies have become customers
Sales Note helps exporters organize these buyers into a clear pipeline and track their progress.
Sales Note as a Buyer Pipeline
Sales Note works as a buyer pipeline, allowing exporters to categorize companies based on their current relationship or progress stage.
TradeIt provides a default pipeline structure that many exporters can use as a starting point.
Stage | Typical Meaning |
List | Buyers discovered through B/L Tracking |
Lead | Buyers whose contact or company information has been identified |
Target | Buyers who have shown interest, such as sending an inquiry |
Client | Buyers who have successfully completed a business deal |
This pipeline structure helps exporters clearly track how each buyer progresses from discovery to actual business.
Customizing Your Pipeline
Every export business operates differently, and TradeIt allows users to customize their pipeline stages.
Users can adjust the pipeline structure to match their own sales process.
For example, companies may add stages such as:
- Prospect
- Negotiation
- Distributor
- Long-term Partner
This flexibility allows exporters to manage buyer relationships in a way that best fits their workflow.
Tip
Customize your pipeline stages so they reflect how your company manages export opportunities.
