Myself, as a consultant, I look at the buyer requirements, and search for a seller that is supplying the same commodity at an agreeable price and terms for the buyer.
I am from the US in California but mainly work with international trade. I worked with a company for 14 years that purchased commodities from all over the world. The last 3 years with the company I worked in outside sales as a contract manager. Due to cut backs I was laid off and decided to give it a try on my own.
Over the course of me starting out, I have met many buyers and sellers that are looking for commodities. I take the work out of the buyer searching for a reputable seller. This is no cost to you, my commission is paid by the seller after the terms are met by buyer and seller.
I am always on the lookout for buyers that I can assist with locating the commodities that are needed.
