Did you get good grades in school? Whether you got straight A’s or something else, you learned that grades are a simple way of identifying levels of quality. Now you’re out of school and grades are still part of everyday life. Where would we be without customer reviews and ratings for everything from food and clothing to medical care? So, is there a way to grade your order fulfillment company?
Yes. And you should do just that.
With a brand that stands for exceptional quality, you are obviously on a quest for continuous improvement. Assessing your needs is a proven way to identify priorities and establish metrics to measure progress toward achieving those priorities.
Since fulfillment is a complex process, it can be tough to perform a broadly valuable self-analysis. So we’ve created this handy quiz to guide you. You can use it to grade the order fulfillment company you’re using now, even if it’s an in-house department. There is a good chance you’ll also get some new ideas about fulfillment services you never knew could be yours.
But did your current efforts earn the highest grade? There’s no shame in failing if you learn from the experience and identify what you can do better. So, once you know where you stand and what’s possible, you’re ready to grade potential candidates to upgrade your fulfillment program. That can feel daunting, too. There are so many fulfillment services out there, how do you find the one that will deliver A+ care to your customers and be an A+ partner for your business?
The key to success is relationships. The right fulfillment company will have personable, well-trained agents who can advise and upsell customers. And the technology to make ordering fast and accurate. These details build customer relationships that reinforce your brand’s emphasis on quality and secure long-term loyalty.
Of course, the right company will have all the latest systems and best practices in place to ensure every detail of your fulfillment is handled to perfection. But here’s the thing – it’s the personal relationship that will ultimately determine the success of your partnership. Once you’ve graded the tangibles, choose people you like, people you trust and want to work with. From that comes confidence and peace of mind – both critical when your customers are in someone else’s hands.
We think you’ll like us, a lot. So let’s meet and talk about how partnering with USA can transform your order fulfillment into a program that earns A+ every time.
