Provide Your Tax and Credit Information to Suppliers.

April 29, 2009

DistributorCentral has made it available to add your Tax and Credit information to your DC distributor account so that all the suppliers can access that information.

You can quickly get to this area by logging into your account and going to the right side of your Home page under Shortcuts. Click on “Upload Credit and Sales Tax info“.

You should update your State Tax ID numbers here and you can upload a Universal Credit application that suppliers can use to grant you accounts for ordering from them.


Email Multiple Products to Customers

April 16, 2009

DistributorCentral has added a new feature that will allow you to send your customers multiple product selections at once!

This is a very similar process to creating a quote for multiple products.
  1. To utilize this feature, you should do a search for the products that you would like to send to your customers.
  2. Then on the search page, select which ones to add by selecting “Compare” below each product image.
  3. When you have completed your product selections, you can select the Compare Tab above your search results.
  4. There you will see that you have a list of your products selected previously.
  5. To send an email flyer for the products you should select the button “Send Quick Email”

This will allow you to enter your customers email and any comments in the field. You will notice that is the same format as the feature “Email This Product.”

You can also modify the Retail pricing that shows up on that flyer before you select the “Send Quick Email” button. You would add a % to the right box under “Options”. This will change the Retail price in the pricing tier for that product.

You can even select your customer from your customer database in DistributorCentral and when you send that email it will save it in that customer’s correspondence. It will save the comments in the correspondence field and then save the actual email flyer as an attachment. This can help you to keep track of what products you sent out.
