Finding clients for cross-border payments and imports

The signal in this market is not “looking for a supplier”. It is a broken arrangement: a bank bounced the payment, the payment agent went quiet, the shipment stopped at customs. Those messages are written the same day the problem appears, and they are written to a chat before they are written to a search engine.

What a lead looks like here

“The bank returned the invoice payment for the second time, who can pay to China?”
“My agent has gone quiet for a week, the supplier is waiting — is there anyone reliable?”
“The shipment is stuck at customs, we need a broker urgently.”

Each one arrives with a link to the original message, within a minute of it being written.

What is not a lead

The half that decides whether the feed is worth reading:

an agent or a carrier advertising their own service — the majority of what a keyword alert returns here
discussion of sanctions, rates and news with no need of one’s own
personal parcels, a subscription payment, one laptop — the deal size is wrong

Where it listens

Chats about foreign trade, international payments, logistics and customs.

Who this is for: Payment agents, freight forwarders, customs brokers and sourcing companies.

Before anything is connected we measure the chats and tell you how many matching requests they produced last week. If there is no volume, we say so — a monitor over three messages a month is a refund waiting to happen. Ask in @SonarLeadSupport, or read the questions first.
