Managing buyer relationships requires more than simply discovering companies.
Exporters also need a way to track their interactions and sales activities with each buyer.
In TradeIt, these activities can be recorded directly inside Sales Note, allowing exporters to maintain a clear history of their buyer engagement.
By tracking interactions over time, exporters can better manage follow-ups, monitor deal progress, and organize their export sales activities.
Recording Buyer Activities with Sales Log
TradeIt allows users to record their sales activities using the Sales Log feature inside Sales Note.
Sales Log helps exporters document important interactions with buyers, such as research activities, inquiries, or quotation discussions.
Each record becomes part of the buyerโs interaction history, making it easier to understand the progress of the relationship.
Examples of activities that can be recorded include:
- buyer research or market analysis
- phone calls or meetings with the buyer
- product inquiries received from the buyer
- RFQ (Request for Quotation) discussions
- quotations sent to the buyer
Recording these activities ensures that important sales information is not lost over time.
Creating a Sales Log Entry
To record an activity, you can create a new Sales Log entry inside the buyer profile.
Typical steps include:
1๏ธโฃ Open the buyer inside Sales Note

2๏ธโฃ Navigate to the Sales Log tab

3๏ธโฃ Click New

4๏ธโฃ Enter activity details such as
- activity title
- activity date
- activity stage
- detailed description
- attachments (optional)

5๏ธโฃ Save the activity
Once saved, the activity will appear in the buyerโs Sales Log history.

Understanding Activity Stages
Sales Log entries can be categorized by activity stage.
This helps exporters understand what type of interaction occurred with the buyer.
Common stages include:
Stage | Meaning |
Pre-sales | Early research and market analysis |
Inquiry | Buyer shows interest in the product |
RFQ | Buyer requests pricing information |
Quotation | Exporter provides a quote or proposal |
These stages help exporters organize their sales activities and track deal progress.
Why Sales Log is Useful
Keeping a structured record of buyer interactions provides several advantages.
Exporters can:
- review previous conversations before contacting the buyer again
- track the progress of potential deals
- maintain organized sales records across multiple buyers
- avoid losing important information during long sales cycles
Over time, Sales Log becomes a valuable history of your export activities.
Tip
Maintaining detailed Sales Logs helps exporters stay organized when managing multiple buyer relationships.
