What does following a buyer do and why should I do it?

The ability to follow a buyer is a paid feature for MFG manufacturers. By following a buyer, the manufacturer may see both historical and current RFQs that the buyer has posted on MFG.

The Follow Buyer feature is available to paid MFG manufacturer members.

By following a buyer, you’ll gain visibility into both their current and historical RFQs on MFG.

To follow a buyer, follow these instructions:

1. Open their company profile. You can find the company profile by either clicking the name of the company located on the bottom right of a quotable job, or on the details page of a RFQ.

In the Buyer's Profile you can find a great deal of additional information about the Buyer including:

- How long have they partnered with MFG

- How many current RFQs do they have open

- Direct contact email and phone number

 

Once followed, the buyer will be added to your MFG contacts list, and you’ll have access to all of their posted RFQs, past and present.
