The client, based in Ghana, already produces egg trays with older equipment. As an Alibaba L4-level buyer, they have a proven track record of international sourcing and significant purchasing power. They initially approached Shuliy for an egg tray packer machine and are not yet ready to discuss egg tray line upgrades.

- Molds: Standard 30-egg aluminum molds (290×290mm, egg diameter 47mm)
- Template size: 1500×470mm
- Mold quantity: 4 sets, 1 rotating surface
- Speed: 5–8 cycles/minute

- Accessories: 20 trolleys (1500×700×1600mm), 520 wire mesh sheets (1500×330mm)
Solution & Sales Process
Phase 1: Initial Contact — Building Trust Through a Small Order
The client’s first inquiry was for a baler machine only. They mentioned they already had egg tray equipment. Our team responded promptly, provided transparent air freight estimates, and closed the baler order quickly.
Key action: During the credit insurance order process, we noticed the client’s L4 buyer status, indicating frequent imports and strong purchasing power. This signaled a high-potential client worth nurturing for future egg tray line sales.
Phase 2: Upsell Opportunity — Seizing the Moment
After we shipped the baler, the client proactively expressed interest in a new egg tray production line. Our team immediately:
- Shared verified customer case studies and real feedback
- Provided factory production videos
- Sent documentation of client visits to our facility
- Discussed mold specifications in technical detail
Phase 3: Virtual Factory Tour — Closing the Trust Gap
While our team was at the factory for training, we conducted a live video tour for the client, showing:
- The actual egg tray machines in production
- The factory floor and manufacturing capabilities
- The trolleys and wire mesh sheets in stock
The client was impressed by the transparency and requested an updated invoice including the accessories. After the invoice revision, the new order was placed and payment received.
