Post Your Project First, Share Contacts Later: Why This Is a Safer Way to Connect
In many business groups, people post their phone number and every social account right away. It looks convenient, but it often brings trouble: constant sales pitches, irrelevant private messages, "cooperation offers" that are hard to judge, and personal details forwarded without consent. Chashe Tea Club works the other way round: post your project first; contacts are shared only when both sides agree.
1. The problem with the usual approach
- Too much exposure: once contact details are public, you cannot control who sees them or how they are used;
- Constant interruptions: many unrelated messages cost time and attention;
- Hard to filter: you have to handle conversations before you even know whether the project fits;
- More risk: public personal information can be misused.
2. Why posting the project first works
- Focus on the business: people first see whether the project fits, then decide whether to talk;
- Privacy: contacts are exchanged only with mutual consent, so you stay in control;
- Efficiency: interested parties come forward and pointless conversations drop away;
- Respect: no pressure and no intrusion is a good start for a long-term business relationship.
3. Fair to both sides
If you post a project, you do not have to worry about being flooded with calls and messages. If you are looking for partners, you can browse and compare at your own pace and express interest only in projects that genuinely fit. Both sides start from the same point and decide together when to exchange contacts and which details to share.
4. How it works at Chashe
Step 1: Post your project
Join the Chashe group or use the project bot @ChasheTT_bot, and briefly describe your project, need or the resources you can offer. A good post covers:
- Country and city;
- Industry and a project overview;
- What you need or can offer;
- The cooperation model and timeline.
No contact details are needed in the post.
Step 2: Mutual consent
When you see a suitable project, express your interest. Only when both sides confirm interest and agree to exchange do you move on. If either side declines, nobody is pressured.
Step 3: Exchange contacts
Once both sides agree, contacts are exchanged and the details can be discussed directly.
5. After the exchange
Exchanging contacts is only the beginning. Keep verifying: confirm the company and project details, put key terms in writing, and tie payments to delivery. Chashe encourages genuine, practical project information and reminds everyone to keep their own independent judgement.
6. Tips for a good post
- Keep it true and concise; do not exaggerate;
- Stay on business cooperation; no unrelated content;
- Respect others' privacy; no private harassment;
- Do not keep asking for contacts before the other side has agreed.
7. Who it is for
Companies, traders, manufacturers, distributors and service providers working across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, from established firms to teams entering a new market. Any industry is welcome. If you have a need or a resource, you are welcome at Chashe.
