Member Recognizes Value in buyCASTINGS |
Interview with Todd Rogers: Sales Manager
Bescast Corporation, Willoughby Ohio
www.bescast.com
1. How has buyCASTINGS.com added value to your company?
The relationship has enhanced Bescast by affording numerous, valuable opportunities
to reach new prospects and markets.
|
2. Have you been introduced to and are quoting new customers?
Have you received any new orders?
We have been introduced to an array of new prospects, and have been awarded
contracts based on our ability to efficiently fulfill clients' procurement needs,
and offer practical solutions to their manufacturing dilemmas. |
3. Why has Bescast, Inc. chosen to become involved with buyCASTINGS.com?
buyCASTINGS.com gives Bescast additional internet exposure, which augments
our marketing and sales efforts on a global scale.
4. Describe how difficult or easy the system is to use and receive request
for quotes.
When product specifications/requirements are clearly and fully identified (as
is usually the case), it has proven to be a system that allows us to effectively
evaluate request for quotes by simply reviewing the e-mail questionnaires.
5. Describe the quality of requests that you have received. Have you received
requests that do not match your capabilities?
Through the purchase requirements versus supplier capability matching process,
the inquiries we receive almost always exclusively fit our capabilities.
6. Describe the professional relationship you have with buyCASTINGS.com
staff.
We have long been associated with the management of buyCASTINGS.com, even before
its inauguration. The staff's experience and technical knowledge of the entire
casting supply chain process greatly enhances the value to our prospective customers,
our supplier base, and to Bescast.
|
7. How does the transaction fee (commission) compare
to other reps you may use?
When considering the broad territorial reach of buyCASTINGS.com, and the comprehensive
service it offers to the entire supply chain, the transaction fee and terms can
be considered a bargain. |
8. Has buyCASTINGS.com dealt with you in a straight forward and easy manner?
Yes. The service has been exemplary not only from a sales and marketing standpoint,
but from a supply/procurement aspect as well.
9. Why would you want to use an internet rep that competes your company
with other companies on the same job?
In business, as elsewhere in life, it should be realized that competition is
often valuable, healthy, and even fun. BuyCASTINGS.com is an arena for companies
to compete at what they are best suited for.
10. Overall describe your satisfaction or dissatisfaction with buyCASTINGS.com.
Utilizing buyCASTINGS.com gives us the opportunity to evaluate the suitability
of requests for quotes, and then allows us to appropriately market our services
directly, without intervention.
|
11. Do you expect buyCASTINGS.com to add to your
bottom line?
Based on our experience, I fully expect buyCASTING.com to continue to add value
to Bescast, and to our clients.
|
12. Based on what you have seen so far, do you expect buyCASTINGS.com to be
around for awhile?
I certainly do - unless something entirely new is created that makes the internet
obsolete.
13. If you had a second chance to register with buyCASTINGS.com, would
you do it again?
I certainly would.
