Exporters.SG gives sellers access to millions of buyers and buying leads across 200+ countries. This guide covers everything from setting up your Showroom to closing your first deal.
Before You Sell
Complete your profile. Buyers check seller profiles before sending enquiries. An incomplete or outdated profile costs you leads. Update your company profile and work on your rating to build credibility.
Know your product. Have your specifications, pricing, minimum order quantities, payment terms, and shipping options ready before publishing listings.
Start Selling - Three Channels
- Your Showroom
Your Showroom is your virtual storefront. Add products with full descriptions, prices, and (for upgraded accounts) photographs. Keep listings updated - Exporters.SG ranks recently refreshed listings higher in category pages and search results.
- Buying Lead Alerts
When a buyer posts a buying lead that matches your product categories, you receive an email alert. Reply promptly with a detailed, competitive quotation. Each buying lead page shows how many quotations have been submitted and at what price - use that intelligence to position your offer.
- Advertising
For maximum visibility, advertising programs place your products in front of targeted buyers browsing relevant categories.

How to Close a Sale
- Respond quickly - buyers contact multiple sellers simultaneously. First to reply with a complete, professional quotation has an advantage.
- Answer all questions - address product specifications, lead time, payment, and shipping in your response.
- Confirm terms in writing - before the buyer pays, make sure price, payment method, and delivery details are explicitly agreed. Avoid communication outside Exporters.SG.
After the Sale
- Rate the buyer - a mutual review builds both parties' reputations.
- Add them to your Trust Network and Contact List - this earns Trust Points, improves your ranking, and keeps the buyer accessible for repeat orders.
