What is RepQuotes.com?

• create professional looking quotes online.
• manage their prospects, quotes and orders online.
• create and maintain products, catalogs and pricing online.
• attach documents, in fact any electronic file, to a customer account (e.g. a contract) or to a quote/order (emails, drawings, pdf’s, active links to more information, etc.).
• have full history of all quotes and orders. They never go away.
• create a copy of a customer’s quote for use in future quotes.
• not buy any additional software since it will all reside on our secure, hosted server maintained by TrueSales at our location, available 24/7 to anyone in your organization using the internet.
• have at their fingertips all the information needed to generate a complete, accurate quote.

To get this, the subscribing manufacturer’s rep provides RepQuotes.com with customer and item data in an acceptable format (we help you with that) and information about his/her sales organization so we can build it in RepQuotes.

Once completed, a quote can be printed or emailed immediately. The output is a professional looking quote that stands alone as an acceptable document to send to both customers and manufacturers.

Benefits

Communication:

With the ability to email quotes and orders directly from RepQuotes.com, reps can easily communicate sales pipeline progress and status with manufacturers and customers.

Ownership:

Another key benefit to the rep is that it changes the ownership of electronic information and quote/order history. The subscribing rep gives RepQuotes.com the data, which is controlled by the subscriber FOREVER. It does not belong to anyone else. Again, this is the rep’s information and the rep doesn’t lose detailed quote and order history if the relationship with a particular manufacturer ends. As with most reps, their most valuable asset is their relationship and history with their customers. Products come and go, but the rep will probably stay in a certain sales channel forever. We allow reps to hang on to everything they’ll ever do with a customer. That is also something that can give the rep an edge when wanting to expand product lines and gain the confidence of manufacturers that [s]he is the best representative for their products. Using this tool makes the rep better organized and better able to take on new products, or justify expansion of a current territory.

Self-Sufficiency:

It gives self-sufficiency to the rep and decreases the need for administrative and marketing support from manufacturers. It allows for a rep to get a manufacturer’s product offering available for sale as quickly as information can be gathered and input into RepQuotes. It allows a rep to work with manufacturers who have good products, but are not savvy about websites or effective presentation of electronic media. Many manufacturers have electronic files and photo images, also known as “thumbnails”, which could be used for marketing and sales purposes. These are generally stored electronically in set locations on a computer server. But there they sit because the manufacturer just doesn’t have a good way of disseminating that kind of information out to their sales channel. With RepQuotes, the manufacturer only needs to keep the electronic file in a specific location accessible from the internet and we provide the “hooks” that link it to the sales channel.

Sales Force Automation and Product Catalog consolidation:

Reps who are using a manual quoting system will find this a useful automated solution to a stale sales process, which they are forced into this because manufacturers can’t or won’t supply an adequate quoting system. It is also attractive to reps who represent multiple manufacturers, some of whom may already have a quoting system (but just for their products), because it lets the rep consolidate multiple product catalogs from multiple manufacturers into one system.

Unlimited information links can be tied to items:

The product catalog aspect of RepQuotes.com is powerful in that it allows for as much information to be stored as needed in order to help the rep sell the product. We allow the utilization of images, provide a limitless area for additional product information and finally allow “links to other information”, which can take you anywhere on the internet. It goes well beyond the basics of item, description and price.

Low monthly cost:

RepQuotes.com is billed by the month—just like a phone bill. $xx a month for the first user and $xx a month for additional users. Services to help load data are also available and are either done on a flat fee basis or at an hourly rate. We can also work directly with the manufacturer to get their data into your RepQuotes.com account.
