trust an anonymous e-mail where significant amount of money involved. You must leave a
mark for your customers to check your background and satisfy themselves as trust is
the bedrock of any business relationship. Web-site is the first step in establishing your
identity in the web.

identity but not good enough to attract new ones. You must make your web-site well-known
by registering it in B2B Portals.

to your web-site. Your web-site should be well promoted in search engines so that
customers can find you easily.

potential customers visit such portals daily
- Banner Advertisement at portals frequented by your customers is an easy,
though costly, way of attracting customers.

of targeting customers with pin-pointed accuracy.

attracting quality customers
