MeetMax solution: MeetMax has the market leading platform for 1x1 Meetings. Choose from any of the following ways of running a program, and even use them in combination.

Allow each side to request the other anonymously - based on rich profiles for each participant. Use automation to schedule meetings from these requests - prioritizing mutaual requests, then Buyer requests then seller requests.

Allow each side to describe themselves, and the type of meeting they are seeking, via their profile. Match interests, and create meetings between parties with common interests. This saves time for participants, and maximizes the value of the host in curating schedules.

Allow Buyers and Suppliers to request each other, and to directly respond to requests they receive with approval or declines. This maxmizes the control of the participants, and allows the host to focus on filling in gaps in schedues.

Buying role, budget, recent purchases, upcoming purchases, buying interests - these are questions that will inform you about the Buyers - and later inform Suppliers when t comes to making meeting requests.
