Not every IndiaMART enquiry is a sales opportunity for every supplier. A manufacturer with a high minimum order quantity may not want retail-sized requests; a specialist supplier may not want repair, job, or unrelated product queries. Filtering helps your team spend time on the requirements it can realistically serve.
Common sources of irrelevant leads
- Small retail quantities when your business supplies only bulk orders.
- Job, resume, service, repair, or price-only enquiries.
- Requests for products, grades, or locations outside your offering.
- Broad buyer messages that do not match your target market.
Use positive and negative filters together
- Include keywords identify terms that should be present, such as your product names, materials, wholesale intent, or relevant locations.
- Exclude keywords identify terms that should be ignored, such as job, retail, repair, or unrelated product descriptions.
Start narrow, then refine
Begin with the clearest product and buyer-intent terms. Review both captured and skipped enquiries for a few days. Add exclusions when the same low-fit pattern appears, and relax a rule if it removes genuine buyers. This review cycle is more dependable than assuming a filter will be perfect on day one.
