Addressing Challenges with Supplier Contact Information
Q: I don't have good contacts for my suppliers. Is this going to be a problem?
A: Having accurate contact information is important for effective engagement with your suppliers, but Emitwise can assist with this challenge in several ways:
-
Basic Contact Cleanup: Emitwise can help by identifying and cleaning up obvious contact details, such as first and last names. If only generic emails like "accounts@" are available, the first name field may be left blank.
-
Additional Support for PRO Customers: If you are a PRO customer, Emitwise has conducted data analysis to identify the types of roles and individuals who are more likely to be the data owners for sustainability efforts. We can use this analysis to help identify and suggest the right contacts to start with.
-
Identifying the Right Data Owner: When we first reach out to suppliers, our immediate goal is to identify the correct data owner for your request. We are typically successful in getting good referrals from suppliers who can direct us to the appropriate person.
The most important step is to provide the best contact information you have available. From there, Emitwise can help refine and improve the contact list to enhance your chances of success with your engagement campaign.
