Question
How do I convince my suppliers to use the RFQ platform - besides possibly receiving our business?
Answer
We get that sometimes it's challenging to convince folks of working another way, especially when it may seem like the only benefits are actually for buyer companies. But, the RFQ Platform offers supplier benefits as well as buyer company benefits. Here are just a few:
- A streamlined approach for suppliers to organize all their bids
- Suppliers can find, at a glance, which bids they've won and hold their buyers accountable
- Suppliers can also find all the bids they've lost - they will be able to review those bids they lost, determine why they might be consistently losing business, and find out what is most important to you (it's not always costs)
- Automated reminders - have you ever thought you sent that email only to find it in your draft folder? As RFQs approach their due date, suppliers will receive automatic emails prompting them to complete and submit their bids
