BlackHawk Industrial EXAMPLE OF BUYING POWER AND CONVERTING TO AD – Cutting Tools • 120 cutting tool vendors represent $70m • All these vendors are $50k or more in annual sales • Top 60 suppliers represent $63m and bottom 60 suppliers represent $6.5m • Scenario: Conversion of ½ of miscellaneous vendors where possible to A-D would increase overall leverage • Benefit: Leverage = stronger relationship, improved margin, better programs including freight. WIN-WIN for everyone!
BlackHawk Industrial WHAT TO DO IF WE GET ASKED FOR A NON-FOCUS SUPPLIER?
BlackHawk Industrial Value Proposition of Wholesale-ORSNasco
BlackHawk Industrial Example of ORS Wholesale Profitability • Vendor consolidation • Reduce inbound freight • Inbound from wholesaler • Inbound from manufacturer • Internally • Transactional savings • Fewer PO’s, invoices • Increase average order size • Improves profitability
BlackHawk Industrial UTILIZING WHOLESALE AND THE OPPORTUNITY: • Verticals not familiar with such as welding is a great opportunity to bring in wholesaler such as ORS Nasco that will bring multiple vendors to the table. • Never hesitate to sell a dozen of anything just because we don’t have it on the shelf…utilize wholesale. • To get in the game use wholesale ….. • no inventory investment • broken pack options • lower margin to win first order
Managing Multiple Supplier Relationships - Minimize Conflict BlackHawk Industrial • Lead with AD/Platinum and Focus Vendors • Focus efforts on training and joint sales calls • Growth with these Vendors will help BlackHawk invest and expand • We will support those Vendors that provide the most support to us… both at a Corporate and a local branch • Vendors that do NOT provide support locally… reach out to Marketing to discuss a plan to “encourage” that Supplier to provide local support • “Competing Brands” within the BlackHawk Program • We sell based on providing our customers the best options… best products for “their” needs… performance, cost reductions, etc. • Looking out for the interests of our customers is what is MOST important!
