Connections – The network is our beloved group of speakers, podcast guests, workshop hosts, and GFAVIP members in the community.

We create a profile for these amazing people so that you can learn more about who the leaders are in the space. In their profile page, there is a button that helps to connect with this expert in the community.

Clicking that button will bring you to a request a connection form. This form will be routed to our community management team who will review your connection request. Because these experts are very busy and often hard to reach, we cannot guarantee that we can connect you. We will show your request to them or to their support team and see if a connection can be made.

If you are a GFAVIP member, you will get prioritized connection service. We will let them know that your request is from our private membership and ask for a higher consideration request for the connection.

What are the right fit members? We break them into 3 categories

• Seller – This is an online seller such as an Amazon FBA seller, but also can be an offline distributor. These are companies who are buying from manufacturers and selling in their home markets around the world.
• Manufacturer / Supplier – This is a business who is making products that are then distributed around the world. They are looking for more sellers and distributors to help them increase their turnover.
• Service Provider – This is a business who assists sellers and/or suppliers in the cross-border ecommerce industry. Ranging from legal services to marketing agencies, these are important parts of a successful ecosystem.

Together, these three types of members together create an amazing ecosystem to grow and thrive on. All 3 are needed in order to flourish as an association and an industry as a whole.
