How To Request Appointments With Buyers
Using the On-Line Appointments Request System
How to Request Business Appointments with Buyers:
1. Review the Buyer Marketing Profiles Section in your Official Directory (Sections III and IV). These sections contain sales/marketing information about every registered Buyer organization. Each full-page profile includes Delegate name(s) and title(s), mailing and EMAIL addresses, telephone and fax numbers, plus a summary of sales and service data.
2. Please prioritize your appointment selections - your first selection should be the Buyer company that is most important to your business. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE SELECTMATCH SYSTEM SCHEDULES "PERFECTMATCH" APPOINTMENTS FIRST (When a buyer and a supplier request each other) AND THEN SCHEDULES BUYER REQUESTS.
3. To request appointments, use the company's registration number located at the top of each Buyer page in the Directory. Using the Appointment Request Form Online, type each Buyer Registration Number (one per line, Example: B-001) that you want to request an appointments with, in order of importance. By requesting 80 or more appointments, you increase your chance of receiving a full appointment schedule during TravelMart LatinAmerica.
4. We are NOT responsible for marketing your Company and we do not guarantee you a minimum number of appointments. Your pre-scheduled appointments will depend on the Buyer interest in your Company. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you take the time to pre-plan your attendance and request appointments. We strongly recommend you contact any Buyer Company you would like to meet and ask them to request a meeting with you using this On-Line Appointment Request Process. Do not forget to remind them of your Supplier Registration Number.
5. Please complete the Appointment Request Form by clicking the "Submit Requests" button at the bottom of the form or email your requests to sales@whcoleman.com.
6. Appointment schedules will be FAXED or EMAILED to your company one week before the event.
