Don't Sink Because of Your Supplier: Questions Every Contractor Should Ask!

Don't Sink Because of Your Supplier: Questions Every Contractor Should Ask!

Introduction:

As a contractor, your reputation is built on the quality of your work and the materials you use. Your supplier plays a crucial role in ensuring your clients get the best possible results, which is why it's essential to ask the right questions and make informed decisions when choosing a resin supplier. In this blog, we'll guide you through the key questions every contractor should ask their suppliers to guarantee the best outcome for their clients and discuss the potential consequences of not asking these crucial questions.

How long has your resin been used and is it BBA approved?

Are you fed up with subpar resin affecting the quality of your projects? It's time to ask your supplier about their resin quality and whether it's BBA approved. Using BBA approved resin, like the Leeson Resin supplied by Exo Supplies, ensures that your projects are built to last and look great for years to come. This top-quality, rigorously tested resin can make all the difference in your projects and your reputation. Don't settle for anything less. Failing to ask about resin quality can lead to inconsistent results, unhappy clients, and damage to your reputation.

Knowledge and experience is key!

When working with a supplier, it's important to have confidence in the expertise of your account manager and technical team. Ask your supplier about the experience and knowledge of their team. Your supplier should be an expert in all things resin and be able to answer your questions confidently. A knowledgeable account manager can provide valuable guidance and support, helping you deliver the best results for your clients. If you don't ask about your account manager's experience, you may end up working with someone who can't provide the support you need, leading to costly mistakes and subpar results.

What Would It Cost You If Your Resin Failed?

Consider the potential cost to your business if a resin project failed due to poor-quality materials from your current supplier. Even one project failure can put your business and reputation at risk. The costs associated with project failure include wasted materials, time spent on repairs, and potential legal disputes with unhappy clients. Before settling on a supplier, ask yourself if you're truly confident in the quality of their resin. Remember, it's not worth taking the chance – choose a supplier like Exo Supplies, known for their top-quality, BBA Approved resin.

Does Your Supplier Keep Changing Their Raw Materials?

Suppliers that frequently change raw materials to save on costs could be putting your projects at risk. As a professional contractor, you need to generate consistent results and build a reputation that wins you more work, not loses it. Ask your supplier about the stability of their raw materials and whether they prioritise quality and consistency over cutting costs. Failing to ask about raw material consistency can lead to unpredictable outcomes, making it difficult to maintain the high-quality work your clients expect.

Finally, Have You Had Problems with Your Resin and Not Known Why?

If you've encountered issues with your resin installation, it's essential to have a support team you can rely on. With Exo Supplies, our team is on hand to help you resolve any problems. In fact, we've even visited installations where contractors have used other suppliers' resin to help solve issues and save their reputations. That's the level of commitment and support you can expect from Exo Supplies. Not asking about your supplier's support can leave you in a difficult situation, struggling to find solutions when problems arise and potentially harming your reputation.

Conclusion:

Asking these critical questions will help you make the right choice when it comes to your resin supplier. Remember, your reputation and the success of your projects depend on the quality of the materials you use. Choose Exo Supplies for top-quality, BBA Approved resin.
