saving time and money on your small business procurement

howmostsmallbusinessesprocure

when wanting to buy goods and services, most small business people will use search engines and other information portals to research suppliers and service providers that can fulfil their buying needs

they will send emails or call different suppliers to try and get the best possible products or services at the lowest possible price

most will probably not make it past 3 phone calls or 5 emails and between searching, calling and sending emails, most will have spent more than an hour doing so

is this time consuming process really the best way of going about it?

howbigbusinessandgovernmentprocure

in big business and government, a request for proposals (rfp), a request for bids (rfb) or a request for quotes (rfq) is sent out through the media or through an internally compiled supplier database

suppliers and service providers will bid for the business…the best bid with the best price will win the business

with their buying power, big business and government have more opportunities of saving costs…tremendously

sowhynotsmallbusiness?

one small business does not have the buying power of big business or government…but several small businesses can amass this power and even more

however, one small business still has to find other small businesses to increase its buying power, and there’s the question of a supplier database to cater for a group of small businesses

even worse, small businesses don’t always have the time or resources to find other small businesses or create supplier databases

butwhatiftherewasaway?

what if there was a simple way for small businesses to increase their buying power by grouping together and increasing their reach, through access to a large supplier database; with or without time and resources?

what if your business can request quotes, inform other small businesses to join in the request and send the request to interested suppliers and service providers, all in less than 10 minutes?

what if suppliers were to compete to fulfil your requirements, bidding to win your business and the business of other small businesses that have joined your request for quotes?

what if you can read what previous customers are saying about these suppliers, without having to make a single phone call or send a single email?

what if you were to save time, effort and costs on your purchasing? surely ‘you and your business will love it!’

thereisaway

it’s a new way of saving you valuable time and effort on the task of buying goods and services for your business

it’s a new way of exploiting the sheer power of the number of small businesses in your locality…which will increase buying power and give small businesses the opportunity to save costs on purchases…tremendously

it’s a new simple way of fulfilling the buying needs of your business and a lot more other small businesses…and it starts with you and…
