Follow on Google News | The New World of Business and 3 things you should be doingYour business environment is changing. The new trends, digitization of the office, commoditization of many office products and supplies and the shift to online shopping and ordering should be causing you to ask if your office equipment is up to date
By: Amertoner Is your supplier customer obsessed? Does he/she (your sales rep) understand your business and product usage sufficiently to correctly support your needs and offer suggestions to save you time and money? Are you offered contact and ordering options that are useful and beneficial? When you talk, do they listen? Do they have a strong brand? Does your supplier offer you more value than the usual store or web retailer? Does it have a unique personality through special offers, the ability to fulfill all of your needs – even if it is outside of its standard list of products - and provide salespeople who are knowledgeable and inspire trust? Does it provide information and topics of interest that are helpful to you Is their online experience a good one? By next year, over 50% of all sales are expected to be made over the internet. Much of the remaining 50% will be influenced by on line information. Does your supplier have a user friendly, feature rich website? Do you regularly read their emails and expect useful information? Above all, don’t be complacent. Even if you periodically feel good about your current suppliers, a supplier evaluation and comparison will help both you and the supplier make positive changes.
