How to Get your Project
started!
two different ways...
JOE MIKEJoe and Mike have the same problem.
But while Joe spends weeks of valuable time in the pursuit of a supplier to deliver his project,
Mike has it in hand in a matter of days.
What is the cause of this gap? Let’s take a deeper look at their different ways of
getting a project started...
VS
Who is JOE?Hi everybody, I’m Joe.
I’m a traditional business man, hardworking and very focused. I’m always struggling to find my suppliers...it takes me weeks to find the right one. In fact I can’t afford to have hobbies, I hardly have time to see my kids, even my dog ignores me.
This is all such a challenge. I’ve missed promotion again, I’m always tied to my phone, I’m getting more and more grey hairs and my blood pressure is through the roof…
But I’m sure I’ll be fine.
How JOE does itMeet with existing
suppliers
Realize they might not have what it takes to deliver
12 Google searches to identify potential
suppliers
What Now????
Management team agrees project objectives and
deliverables
How JOE does it18 Phone calls to check
out these suppliers
Worry time - Will they spot this is new
to me and take advantage?
2 Days due diligence and inviting suppliers to submit proposals
Brief the project to suppliers
They all seem competent! Who should
I trust?
8 Hours responding to suppliers queries - they’
re all asking the same questions!
What is the Result?Wow Joe!
You’ve spent a whole month finding and briefing the right suppliers…
If you really want that promotion, there’s always another way of doing things.
Check out how Mike does it!
Who is MIKE?Hi everybody, I’m Mike.
People call me a “next generation business professional”.
Since I embraced s-commerce I spend my spare time doing the things most people put off because they’re too busy. I’ve even found time recently to take my family to Disney World!
I’m an incurable tech geek, part -time explorer and evening guitarist. The most important thing in my life are my family & friends. Love my work. Hate wasting time.
Life’s all about balance!
How MIKE does itManagement team agrees
project objectives and deliverables
Mike puts the project on the Global Service Exchange
blur team gets the project in front of 100 pre-vetted
suppliers and fields questions to ensure quality proposal are
submitted
7 days later Mike has a short list of high quality proposals
to review
What is the result?
Great job Mike!
Look how quick and easy that was! You didn’t even have to contact your previous suppliers; you just
found their proposals with the others.Here are some ideas for the time you’ve saved...
Start another project, Test drive a sports car, Throw a pool party, Take Joe for a drink!
No alternative…
