"You don’t know what you need until you see it. With the efficiency and expediency of the process, we can talk to so many more customers. We’re writing an insane amount of orders, and the fact that those orders can be written and shipped out that day is a huge win for us."
"After joining Cooper-Booth, my vision for ordering was to be more order process agnostic. I would love to say, we just want your orders. If you want to use the web, that’s OK. If you want to have a sales rep write your order, that’s OK. If you want to use a handheld ordering device, that’s OK too. We’d like to be able to offer our customers a whole suite of options for ordering and let them choose whatever they like."
"We use Handshake not just because it’s convenient, but because it’s making a difference to our relationships with our customers."
"At first, when were in just a few schools, order forms seemed to work just fine. But we couldn’t keep up with the demand, and we couldn't keep up with all the paperwork. We were hiring people just to do data entry, and it just wasn’t efficient."
"Some people just prefer to order this way. They don’t have to dig through their email to find a past order. B2B eCommerce is way more effective than anything else."
"We try to do what we can to honor our relationships with retailers by not selling to a store right down the street. If someone’s supporting us, we want to support them. Now we just ask any potential customer for their zip code, enter it into our iPads, and immediately see whether we have existing customers in their area."
"Frequently, by the final day of a trade show, orders from the first day of the show are already shipping out the door. Customers appreciate how quickly we can fulfill orders."
"I can’t imagine going back. It’s so easy, professional, and convenient, and everything works efficiently."
"In order to take advantage of these growing expectations we were seeing in B2B, we needed to provide a reliable, user-friendly tool that would allow us to promote more self-service buying."
"We had a particular customer who was ordering more from a competitor even though our pricing was significantly better. Since we switched to Handshake, though, our ordering experience is so much better that they’ve given us the majority of their business."
"Our independent retailers are passionate about providing the highest quality products to their customers’ pets. They are experts on pet nutrition and pet health and really passionate about what they do, but not always as focused on efficiency and streamlining process."
"The biggest return on investment has been the time savings, which directly translates to cost savings."
"We’re having a very efficient time with the buyer. We can get them pricing on the spot, and we can get an order in at the show. It’s a tremendous increase in efficiency."
"I want my sales reps to be perceived as professional trusted advisors that are there for each and every opportunity to assist in growing their accounts business."
"We can let the customers shop as we’re sitting with them. It shows how we custom-cut products."
