Why Many Sellers List Correctly but Still Get No Orders
This is important to understand early:
- Listing ≠ Orders
- Visibility depends on:
- Category competition
- Pricing
- Buyer demand
- Bidding participation
Many beginners think:
“I have listed my product, orders should come.”
That’s not how GeM works.
Practical Advice for First-Time Sellers
- Start with 1–2 well-optimized listings, not 20 weak ones
- Observe similar sellers and pricing trends
- Learn how bidding & reverse auction work
- Track which categories actually receive orders
GeM rewards process-driven sellers, not impulsive ones.
Final Thoughts
Listing products or services on GeM is not difficult, but it requires discipline.
For beginners:
- Focus on correctness, not speed
- Understand the system before scaling
- Avoid shortcuts
If done properly, a good listing becomes the foundation of long-term government business.
