Our company first started supplying medical items locally in China. Our first venture into international trading was in 2001, when we joined Alibaba.com as a Free Member.
As a Free Member, we received inquiries from many different countries, and were very satisfied with the services offered by Alibaba.com. However, the amount of inquiries was not high, and many buyers did not trust Free Members, so we decided to try other B2B websites before paying for premium services.
After trying a few more B2B websites, we felt that Alibaba.com was the B2B website for us. So in 2004, we became a Gold Supplier.
What a difference it makes to be an authenticated and verified company! Once we became a Gold Supplier, the inquiries started flooding in. First from Europe and America, then later from Africa and Mexico also.
There were some buyers who did not trust us enough to place an order before. But those buyers gained a renewed confidence once they saw we were a Gold Supplier, and sent in new inquiries.
It's amazing how Alibaba.com allows small businesses like us to connect with buyers from all over the world and provide them with the confidence to invest in our products.
