Q: What is the relationship between procureradar and Zhimao?

Same platform. The primary public brand is procureradar; the common Chinese name is 智猫. Legacy aliases such as 采购雷达 / zhimao remain for search only—not as the English brand name.

Q: What are buyer leads and how are they different from regular contacts?

Buyer leads are procurement intent data from real importers, distributors, or procurement managers — including company information, buying category, purchase history, and contact details. Unlike generic contacts, buyer leads are multi-source verified to confirm actual purchasing behaviour, dramatically reducing wasted outreach.

Q: What is an RFQ and why is it considered the highest-intent procurement signal?

An RFQ (Request for Quotation) is a specific purchase request initiated by a buyer, specifying product requirements, quantity, and delivery terms. Unlike passive company profiles, an RFQ signals immediate purchase intent — conversion rates are typically 5-10x higher than cold buyer leads.

Q: How can I improve buyer email reply rates?

① Use AI Operations to generate personalised outreach (3-5x more effective than templates) ② Send during the buyer's local business hours ③ Combine email + WhatsApp outreach ④ Set up 3-5 round automated follow-up sequences ⑤ Focus on the buyer's likely procurement pain points, not just your product introduction.
