How
is B2BDubai different
from other B2B marketplaces?
B2BDubai has
its own unique
market edge over
other B2B marketplaces.
Unlike other trading
exchanges that
focus on putting
just buy and sell
offers carrying
product images
with contact information
and a way to send
inquiry, B2BDubai
offers direct
on-spot trading
opportunity to
sellers, giving
them real-time
dynamic interactive
tools that help
make great business
deals on-spot.
On-Spot B2B trading
is a revolutionary
concept pioneered
by B2BDubai. The
payoffs of on-spot
trading are huge,
and provide virtually
limitless business
opportunities
for global traders.
It’s fast.
It’s easy.
It’s cheap.
And best of all
it WORKS!
Using this system
of trading, you
can:
 |
Have
audio/visual
conversations
with your
buyers/vendors/partners
providing
them detailed
information
via PowerPoint
presentations,
PDF files,
Spreadsheets
and Websites
about your
products or
services AS
THEY DEMAND
IN REAL-TIME.
(Can
you say I-N-T-E-R-A-C-T-I-V-T-Y) |
 |
Display
your product
samples online.
(stop
showing dull
static product
images on
your Web site.
Show original
product online,
and increase
perceived
value upto
90% more) |
 |
Brief
your buyers/vendors/partners
about any
unique service
you are rendering.
(keep
on updating
business people
round the
clock) |
 |
Negotiate
on-spot. (simply
priceless) |
 |
Conduct
Seminars and
Conferences,
or deliver
live presentations
to your targeted
buyers. (huge
time &
money saver) |
 |
Invite your
buyers/vendors/partners
to your B2BDubai
On-Spot
Trading Room
(OTR)
via email,
or by your
preferred
way and deliver
live seminars/meetings/conferences.
Impress them
with high
end business
development
tools, thereby
drastically
cutting cost
on travel,
communication
and manpower.
(never
again spend
a dime in
costly hotel
accommodation,
travel charges
and long distance
telephone
charges)
|
 |
Run
and offer
special on-spot
promotions/giveaways/discounts
to your buyers.
(attract
more buyers,
and take lead
in volume
trading) |
 |
Network
with other
business owners
and companies
on broad scale.
Using the
powerful collaborative
tools built
in OTR,
you can leverage
the true potential
of B2B commerce
at a premium
level.
(say
bye bye to
out-dated
Wait and Watch
business approach,
and start
focusing on
Show and Go
business policy) |
List
goes on... |
Moreover, traders
at B2BDubai enjoy
trading in a friendly
business community,
with each individual
or member company
looking forward
to help another
in human spirits
to bolster any
business deficiency
one may have in
satisfying her
customer. This
is supply- chain
mechanism to its
truest potential.
Of course, the
usual buy &
sell offers with
product images,
inquiry system,
private messaging
and a whole lot
of member options
are already in
place.
Come join the
revolution. Experience
the On-spot trading
difference, and
give your business
an unfair advantage
over its competition.

What
role does B2BDubai
plays in between?
B2BDubai plays
a pivotal role
in bringing two
parties of intended
business interests
at a unified level
serving as intermediary
while coordinating
in the business
development chain.
It lets them overcome
geographic boundaries
and enter the
expanding global
market by sharing
resources and
expertise interchangeably.
It actually bridges
the highway of
trust, commitment
and opportunities
between two or
more companies
to better serve
their targeted,
regional and/or
international
customers.

How
about having a bogus
or cheat partner,
who may provide
deceptive information
and conducts fraud
and defamation?
The
certainty of having
a bogus or cheat
partner cannot
be excluded or
denied from the
program. Businesses
are done on the
basis of trust,
communication
and commitment,
i.e., the integral
components and
its significance
cannot be forgone.
However, while
maintaining our
prodigious database,
the risk factor
of having a bogus
or cheat partner
cannot be 100%
eliminated since
we do not have
full control on
the parties we
are dealing with,
and also because
parties are globally
dispersed. At
B2BDubai, we ensure
to get the comprehensive
and most realistic
company portfolio
by using some
of our company’s
tactics using
credit bureaus,
validation through
eminent global
organizations
such as Dun &
Bradstreet and
through our Global
Search and Tracking
Mechanism (GSTM)
program launched
early this year
to avoid such
malpractices.
Bottom line is,
you must apply
caution and be
careful in all
your correspondence
and transactions
while dealing
with other parties
at B2BDubai.com.
B2BDubai.com will
not be responsible
under any circumstances
for any loss or
damage of your
company property.

Spam & Fraud

your understanding
about avoiding
fraud, and how
to practice safe
trading.

I
have various PowerPoint
presentations,
PDF files, Spreadsheets
and other Web
site resources
& information
of my products.
How do I show
these to my buyers
online apart from
my usual catalog
dispalys at B2BDubai?
Your On-Spot
Trading room (OTR)
has all the answers.
However, you need
to be a On-Spot Trader Member
in order to use
these services.
Displaying PowerPoint
presentations,
PDF files, Co-Web
browsing and a
whole lot of other
value added features
are already bundled
in the On-Spot Trader Membership

a meeting session
is established,
everything happens
in a magical way.
Seeing is believing.

How
do I talk, interact
and negotiate
to my buyers /
vendors / suppliers
/ partners, and
how can I have
live audio / visual

Your OTR is your
source for all
that interactivity.
Again, you need
to be a On-Spot Trader Member
to access all
these premium
services. Once
in a meeting,
you are all set
to talk to each
other as you are
in a physical
meeting.
The picture and
sound quality
of your OTR is
nothing less than
perfect. Plus
the tools that
you get in your

out of the box
and are meant

Here is what
you will get in
your OTR:

Why
use B2BDubai’s
OTR™ - Why
not Yahoo or MSN
for video conferencing
which is a free
alternative?
B2BDubai’s
OTR™ is
a business class
model web conferencing
solution.
B2BDubai’s
OTR™ completely
integrates voice
over IP (VoIP),
co-browsing, text
messaging, white
board, live desktop,
live video, file
sharing, application
sharing and data
collaboration
all in one easy-to-use
Windows software.
It is the ideal
solution for businesses
to improve internal
communications
and distance trading
applications.
You can invite
people into a
web conference
via an Invite
User feature from
your meeting room.
B2BDubai’s
OTR™ allows
you to engage
meeting participants
visually with
slide shows, pre-programmed
web presentations,
and document sharing.
You also have
the ability to
use text messaging,
hands-free voice/audio,
web tour presentations,
white board, live
desktop, file
transferring and
video conferencing
with your meeting
participants.
This makes B2BDubai’s
OTR™ ideal
for sales presentations,
meeting facilitation
and online training
to name just a
few.
B2BDubai’s
OTR™ is
a hosted/service
model, meaning
that our technology
is not peer to
peer. A hosted
model allows for
increased security,
much greater scalability
in terms of numbers
of guests, plus
firewall detection
and avoidance.
MSN® and Yahoo®
are "messaging"
services. They
are not Web Conferencing
services. These
two programs are
not structured
properly for acceptable
business to business
use on the Internet.
They are peer
to peer technologies,
this means the
host and guests
are connected
directly to each
other.
