Fewer Meetings, More Efficiency!
As a buyer, you know how frustrating the search for that perfect product can be. Numerous preliminary meetings with reps where more is said about the weather than product selections can stretch the process and put a real strain on your time and patience. But that’s not all, add to the mix packaging, transportation and distribution challenges and you can quickly find yourself pressed for resources – namely, time and personnel – and more than a little stressed out.
As someone who worked as a buyer for years, I completely understand these challenges and have streamlined the TMAC USA process to save you time and frustration. Our preliminary research process allows us to help you find your product and get it in stores much quicker than you ever thought possible. Our motto is “Fewer meetings, more efficiency!” What makes our process so different?
Respect for Your Time
You’ve probably found that when working with reps, you need to set aside a large chunk of time for building rapport – chats about sports, the weather, your town – before you even get to talk about the product you are interested in. At TMAC USA, we value rapport and cordiality, but we also respect your time. After saying hello, we cut to the chase and launch straight into the products – how the products work and why the manufacturer is an ideal match for your company.
What will we cover in that initial meeting? We will present you with specific examples of how the manufacturer was successful working with other companies and how we can use that information to create a successful partnership moving forward. You’ll get all the details about the manufacturer’s product, product quality, service and responsiveness. We’ll also cover our ability to adapt to the changing business environment as well as the kind of customer support you can expect.
In a nutshell, our first meeting is the only meeting we need for both parties to decide whether or not we want to move forward and agree to do business together. We never need multiple exploratory meetings. We do our homework in advance and that allows you to make an informed decision right away.
Making Fewer Meetings and More Efficiency Possible
Before we even schedule our first meeting, TMAC USA does its homework. We believe thorough research is a must, which is why we came up with a special matching process that compares the capabilities of the manufacturer with the specific needs of the buyer.
When a good match is determined, we take our research to the manufacturer. When the manufacturer understands what will be required to do business with the buyer, we’ve paved the way for a successful business transaction – even before the very first meeting. It’s like filling out a survey on a dating site. When both parties have been open about their needs and wants on their profile, the first date is more likely to be a success. The same is true when matching buyers and manufacturers. We ask that all-important question – how well do you both match up? And if the answer is “very well” then we have a solid reason to schedule that first meeting, confident that we won’t be wasting anyone’s time.
As you can see, our process is streamlined and efficient, which makes our meetings half as long and twice as productive. Get in touch with us today if you would like to work with us. We would be delighted to help you find the products you need from manufacturers you can count on.
