Start with the product itself

A product name is only the beginning. Describe its intended use, materials, model, dimensions and essential features. Prepare specifications or reference images, and distinguish requirements from preferences.

Clarify quantity and timing

Separate a trial order from recurring requirements. State when you would like to receive the goods and describe business constraints to make proposals more comparable.

Include destination and packaging

The destination country and city, packaging and product information affect the initial review. Mark undecided details so an assumption is not mistaken for a final requirement.

This is a general guide to preparing a discussion. Each project’s circumstances require individual review.
