One relationship that continues to change is the one between roofing contractors and roofing material suppliers.
Today's fast-paced and competitive environment demands that you make the most of the time you spend on business relationships. Some of your relationships may be in need of change, and others may be slowly changing without your knowledge or input. One relationship that continues to change is the one between roofing contractors and roofing material suppliers, partly due to the emergence of the Internet age and improving business process systems.
The role of the supplier as one of your key sources of information continues to diminish as manufacturers have taken a more direct role with their Web sites and other media such as CDs and DVDs. These things have been around for years, but contractors have really begun to embrace such "self-service" offerings.
