1. saving time and money on your
small business procurement

2. how
most
small
businesses
procure

3. when buying products or services, most small
business people will use search engines and
other information portals to research suppliers
and service providers that can fulfil their buying
needs

4. they will send emails or call different suppliers
and service providers to try and get the best
possible products or services at the lowest
possible price

5. most will probably not make it past 3 phone
calls or 5 emails and between searching, calling
and sending emails, most will have spent more
than an hour doing this

6. is this time consuming
process really the
best way of going
about it?

7. how
big
business
and
government
procure

8. in big business and government, a request for
proposals (rfp), a request for bids (rfb) or a
request for quotes (rfq) is sent out through the
media or through an internally compiled
supplier database

9. suppliers and service providers will bid for the
business…the best bid with the best price will in
most cases win the business

10. with their buying power, big business and
government have more opportunities of saving
costs…tremendously

11. so
why
not
small
business?

12. one small business does not have the buying
power of big business or government…but
several small businesses can amass this power
and even more

13. however, one small
business still has to
find other small
businesses to increase
its buying power, and
there’s the question of
a supplier database to
cater for a group of
small businesses

14. even worse, small
businesses don’t always
have the time or resources
to find other small
businesses or create
supplier databases

15. but
what
if
there
was
a
way?

16. what if there was a simple way for small
businesses to increase their buying power by
grouping together and increasing their reach,
through access to a large supplier database;
with or without time and resources?

17. what if your business can
request quotes, inform other
small businesses to join in the
request and send the request
to interested suppliers and
service providers, all in less
than 10 minutes?

18. what if suppliers and
service providers
were to compete to
fulfil your
requirements, bidding
to win your business
and the business of
other small
businesses that have
joined your request?

19. what if you can read what
previous customers are
saying about these
suppliers and service
providers, without having
to make a single phone call
or send a single email?

20. what if you were to save time, effort and costs
(as high as…say 40%) on your purchasing? surely
‘you and your business will love it!’

21. this
year,
there
is
a
way

22. it’s a new way of saving you valuable time and
effort on the task of buying products or services
for your business

23. it’s a new way of exploiting the sheer power of
the number of small businesses in your
locality…which will increase buying power and
give small businesses the opportunity to save
costs on purchases…tremendously

24. it’s a new simple way of fulfilling the buying
needs of your business and a lot more other
small businesses…and it starts with you and…
