Many B2B prospective customers will want a quote before they place an order. With an online quote request system, specifying and purchasing products can be easy, accurate, and suited to their needs, any time - day or night.
Three benefits of adding a quoting system to your website
Here are 3 benefits of adding a quoting system to your website, that will improve your sales and website's conversion metrics:
1. Starts a relationship with a potential B2B customer
When a new customer is not sure that your products will meet their specifications, they may call you, send you an email, or even try your new online chat system… but this demands time and resources which means your prospective customer can leave your website to find a competitor. So why not give prospective customers a fast and easy quote system? With a quote system, customers will interact with your business and establish a relationship with you with very little effort. They can send details specifying their solution requirements, submit questions, drawings, and schematics, and connect with your business on their time and terms.
2. Assists your customer to select the right product before purchasing
Companies need to have accurate solutions and product information when making purchasing decisions. Details matter and one size rarely fits all.
A quote request sent to your office can give insight to the unique circumstances that will help you find a solution for your customer that is both cost effective and profitable to you. Adding and adjusting the quote details for your customer to match their needs, gives them the assurance they are buying correctly.
3. Allows for your customers to negotiate with you
Customers look for ways to cut costs wherever they can. They will buy in volume, seek purchasing agreements, and may want to negotiate with you about the price, the delivery date, or buying programs that will save them money.
With a quote request, you can adjust for material and handling costs and work with your shipper to provide the best most cost-effective method to ship to your customer.
Negotiating with your customer – is a sale waiting to happen.
