Follow-up · Mark's field notes
How should you follow up after the visit?
Turn conversations into a written action list with owners, dates and open questions.
Updated 2026-11-03 · Mark Ma
Record what was shown, what remains unverified, and which documents, samples or quotations each supplier promised. Confirm specifications and commercial terms in writing.
For suppliers and orders involved in our trip, my day rate includes 30 days of online follow-up by chat, email or phone from the service date. Further in-person meetings or inspections are quoted separately.
This follow-up keeps the conversation moving without a sourcing commission or an undisclosed supplier payment.
