Yesterday, a potential client sent me a hesitant email.
He asked: "Caibin, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I'm looking for a specific type of high-end fountain pen from a factory in Southern China. I only need one sample for now to test the nib quality. I assume this is too small for you to bother with?"
Most sourcing agents would have deleted that email immediately. The commission on a single pen is negligible. It’s not "worth their time."
I replied immediately: "Send me the specs. Let's find it."
Why I Respect Every Single Deal
In the world of B2B trade, everyone is chasing the "Million Dollar Order." But I believe business is built on something more valuable than immediate profit: Trust.
How can I expect you to trust me with a $50,000 container shipment next year if I won't help you verify a $50 sample today?
My philosophy is simple: I don't just service orders; I service relationships. Whether you are a Fortune 500 company needing custom machinery parts, or a startup founder looking for a single prototype, you get the same level of attention, transparency, and "boots-on-the-ground" verification.
My Commitment: The 3% - 8% Promise
I want to be completely transparent about how I work.
I charge a standard service fee of 3% to 8% of the order value.
Yes, even if the order is small.
Yes, even if the commission barely covers my coffee.
Why do I do this? Because I am investing in you.
I know that small orders turn into big orders. The client who bought that single fountain pen today might be launching a stationery brand next month. When that happens, I want to be the partner who was there from day one.
What "Service" Means to Me
When you hire me, even for a micro-order, you aren't just paying for a product. You are paying for peace of mind.
I Verify: I check the factory’s reality, not just their website.
I Negotiate: I speak the language and understand the culture to get you the fair price, not the "foreigner price."
I Inspect: I check the goods before they leave China.
Let's Start Small (or Big)
Don't be afraid to reach out because you think your business is "too small." In my eyes, there is no small business—only business with the potential to grow.
Need to source a single customized part? Or a full shipment? I’m ready when you are.
