Our Distribution Philosophy
Superior
Materials, Inc. is focused on the constant evolvement and improvement of our
company on the mission to be a world-class Distribution and Sales Agent
company. The following is a synopsis of philosophy rather than a mere mission
statement.
Our
expertise is providing professional sales coverage in a territory where the
customers are geographically dispersed, where customers can make multiple
purchases and rely on the expertise of their supplier.
We are the guardian of our Principal’s brand and conduct business that enhances the standing of our Principal with our customer
» Our product lines work in synergy and be of the highest quality
» We project a market image in line with our Principal’s own image
We focus and dedicate appropriate resources to effectively promote our Principal’s products
» We have well trained professionals covering our territory
» We do not have a list of Principals that stretches for pages but must work with a limited number of quality Principals
We develop a premier sales relationship that involves in depth knowledge of our customer base, needs and interrelationships
» It is our charter to have more than a superficial knowledge of our customers’ businesses
» We focus on getting to know our customers through socialization and entertainment
We have coverage and productivity through a proper call rate that allows the development of close relationships
» There are effective call patterns which is particularly acute when traveling with a Principal
» We focus in this ever shrinking marketplace of manufacturers to increase our market share
We maintain the highest degree of communication and assure the flow of pertinent information to our Principals
» We have the discipline of providing call reports, e-mails, or phone calls to keep our Principals informed
» Significant information is documented
» All calls or e-mails are responded to promptly
We continually plan and follow through on those plans to identify and develop targets as well as work to maintain existing business
» Call patterns include a combination of existing business and potential business
» Calls with Principals are appropriate and purposeful…we do not just fill time.
We strive to remain flexible and cooperative with our Principals
» There is passion to sell and a willingness to help a Principal with the big picture of the market and not just work for specific sales
