HornLink Matchmaking Process
Connecting buyers and suppliers through managed introductions.
HornLink's model protects both sides by keeping communication structured, reviewed, and professionally facilitated.
1. Buyer IdentifiedHornLink records buyer needs, product interests, sector, region, and sourcing requirements.
2. HornLink ReviewAvailable buyer information is reviewed before public visibility or introduction consideration.
3. Supplier MatchingHornLink identifies relevant suppliers, product categories, or trade opportunities.
4. Introduction RequestInterested parties request introduction through HornLink rather than contacting directly.
5. Facilitated ConnectionIf appropriate, HornLink supports a managed introduction or next-step discussion.
Protecting Both Parties
Confidentiality is part of the HornLink model.
HornLink generally does not publish direct phone numbers, personal emails, private contact details, internal documents, or sensitive business notes.
Buyers and suppliers should communicate through HornLink's structured matchmaking process until an introduction is appropriate and accepted by the relevant parties.
This approach helps protect business value, reduce spam, improve quality control, and keep HornLink at the center of the trade facilitation process.
