Hi there, new plumber from Australia here!
Have been in the Trade for a few years now. Am doing some further study at a college here and am in the middle of a lengthy research paper. So just trying to gain some anecdotal info if you don't mind some questions
First up, what percentage split of your plumbing jobs would you have supplies delivered to the job, you go to the shop and pick up and jobs you already have supply of the parts needed?
Secondly, how many suppliers would you generally have for the parts or equipment needed to do your job?
Thirdly, do you care about the price your supplier charges you? Do you just pass this cost onto your customer or do you try and find the best possible deal and either skim some margin on parts, or pass the saving onto the customer to undercut your competition?
Fourth, if you place an order to have your parts delivered, what is the maximum delivery time you would be prepared to wait?
Lastly, would you be open to a new disruptive technology based supply model that made your life easier and potentially improved your bottom line?
Thanks. This work is exhausting trying to fit in with work as well.
Cheers!
Mark.
