Are there possible gaps in your steel vendor resources and contacts?

Are there possible gaps in your steel vendor resources and contacts? In today's competitive steel environment, it's essential to ensure you're getting the best possible deals and exploring all opportunities to save money and find hard-to-find items. You might be limited by your current resources, so it's important to build and cultivate relationships as a buyer to create the best opportunities. Here are some areas you might want to cultivate:

?

1. Excess and Surplus Steel Opportunities: Are you exploring surplus markets for potential savings and unique finds?

??

2. Vendor Flexibility: Do your vendors have access to a wide range of steel products beyond what they currently have in stock?

??

3. Timely Quotes: Are you receiving quotes promptly to meet your bidding deadlines?

Let me share a quick story of how we helped a customer dramatically boost their profits. The customer had just secured a job requiring about five truckloads of 36 x 105# beams, and they needed them quickly. Unable to wait for a mill rolling, they reached out to us at Texas Iron and Metal. We not only had the exact sizes they needed in stock but also offered them at a great price of 60 cents per pound, compared to the market rate of around 80 cents per pound. This resulted in a significant cost savings of 20 cents per pound and helped them meet their lead time.
