I found the same thing, very difficult to find potential customers on free B2Bs. But with high membership fee of some famous B2Bs, such as Alibaba. I don't know whether it will paid off in the end. I'm a SOHO and do not want to throw the money into water, prefer to have some other SOHOs share on account for famous B2Bs. Anyone interest?

I am a green hand.I never get a order.Hope to learn something here

yeah~the situation is the same to me ~

I am a green hand too. Since i came here,within one month,I only receive three enquiries altogether.But none of them turned out to be an order.in most cases our products cannot meet the clients' requirements. our compony is specialized in manufacturing ball valves. and they are of flanged ends.Sometimes the clients may need screwed ends or solenoid ones.And some times they may need gate valves or globe valves. So we can't make any quotation to them. We had suggested our boss to buy the goods for the buyers, but he said it could not benefit us.
2N/{8s2O1c9nbusiness forum,trade forum,business opportunity,Business China,Business India,Brazil businessI think to establish business relationship is more important to us than great profits because our export business has just began. We haven't got the wide foreign market open.[A Professional Business Forum]$a6\)m5E&m8{;s)p
Am I right? What's the most tough task for us now? I'll appreciate greatly if you can give me some advice.
