We all like to think that we\u2019re as careful with our company\u2019s money as if it was our own…<\/strong><\/p>\n

But is this the reality?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nowadays few of us would just pop down to our usual electrical store to buy a new TV or to replace a tired washing machine. We\u2019d be straight on \u2018the net\u2019, looking at specification, availability, reviews and of course value for money.<\/p>\n

Through working at PlastikCity, I\u2019ve seen comparative quote request levels for equipment, raw material etc. steadily growing, but it is often either the smaller businesses where the \u2018man at the top\u2019 directly holds the purse strings, or larger companies with a results driven dedicated buyer, that generates the most activity.\u00a0 It genuinely only takes a couple of minutes to fill in a quotation request that goes directly to your selected suppliers so why are many still not using it?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve asked around about possible reasons for this, answers varying from \u201cI know the salesman really well\u201d, to \u201cwe know the kit works so why change\u201d.\u00a0 I\u2019m guessing that the answer wouldn\u2019t be the same if the same guy was buying a new TV or a car, even if his own brother was the salesman!<\/p>\n

So next time you are looking to buy something for your company, try not to automatically take the easy or safe option. PlastikCity have developed intuitive and easy to use quote request system that allows you to get multiple and accurate comparative quotes from the UK\u2019s best industry suppliers.<\/p>\n

If your usual supplier can supply something of equal or better quality and value, then fine, you can sleep with a clear conscience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
