kev Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Kevin, It's always worth phoning your supplier regularly too - with stock coming and going everyday in Warehouses, its impossible for a Rep to know exactly whats in stock and what ain't. Most major suppliers have freephone numbers, so it won't cost you to ask. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 That freephone number can also be used by the Reps Kev. No excuse for not knowing whats in stock. One of my pet hates was Reps who were not aware of the warehouse stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 That freephone number can also be used by the Reps Kev.No excuse for not knowing whats in stock. Indeed it can, Hugh. Didn't look at it from that angle. But if you do need something before your next rep visit, you're gonna phone or fax or email an order - so why not ask the question? Failing that, tell the suppliers what you want when you meet them face to face at the Cutting Edge exhibition. If you don't ask, you don't get.

x minit uk Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 My CB rep always checks live on his lap top as to what stock is available which i find very usefull, if something is out of stock I can get an alternative . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Why can't the rep just call the warehouse for the customer and find out if there's any stock of whatever Is that not his job Is that not why he's there Just a thought! Carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 If the rep is using a Laptop plgged into your phone line, you pay the bill. As Keith rightly states, Get the rep to phone the 0800 number from your shop and it costs nowt. As for requests at exhibitions Kev,less than 20% of my requests were ever taken up. Yes the details were taken but not followed up. I would gather it is the seer volume of requests on the day and if they dont have the answer when they trawl through the note pad they dont bother to let you know that they can not help in that instance.

ironplanet uk900 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I must say, My Charles Birch Rep is brilliant, Nothing is too much trouble. He's always on the phone sauceing odds and sods for me. Thats why I am loyal to him with 90% of my repair materials, engravable gifts sundries etc. uk900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 MY CB rep also uses a laptop, its an excellent program and doesn't need my phone line! its updated daily & I think he even showed me a plug in mobile modem so its probably updated even quicker than that! Its an excellent system and finally brings the reps valuable job back to importance as x minit and proud of it x says My CB rep always checks live on his lap top as to what stock is available which i find very usefull, if something is out of stock I can get an alternative this is something which really turns the traditional reps job on its head. Charles Birch have clearly developed a system to bring the reps call back to the forefront of the trade. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ SOLUTIONS Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 So whats the point of a rep calling if youv'e got to phone to see what they supply. So do CB sell resin(serpia) sheeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironplanet uk900 Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 So do CB sell resin(serpia) sheeting. You could have given them a ring yourself and found out by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Even though I wouldn't know a sheet of Sepia sheeting if you slapped me round the head with it, I'll ask the question on monday for ya and post the result here. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I'm sure that the reps provide an admirable service and one which we would sorley miss if we all had to do business by phone. (speaking retrospectively). "If you want top-poeces press button 1 now, if you want half soles press button 2, if you want Serpia sheets hold the line and an operator will be with you in 45 minutes". " serpia"!!!! must be scam sheeting from Nigeria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 As far as I can find out, this is only stocked in Natural or Black. With it not being my area of knowledge though, don't take it as gospel! If you need any more in depth info you need to phone the warehouse or speak to your reps. Sorry I can't be of any more help. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Sorry I can't be of any more help. Kev somebody slap him round the head with it will ya!
