The Major Supplier Access Blueprint

How to approach majors, institutional traders and genuine suppliers in the oil market

• how majors and trading desks evaluate counterparties

• why most approaches are ignored

• how to avoid questionable brokers and long intermediary chains

• how to identify the real sources of the market

• how to present a buyer requirement in a credible and professional manner
