Relationships among people in general and between businesses and people are very complex and have many facets, but we will try to jot down some of the ways an electrical wholesaler can relate to and help an electrician, based on our extensive experience with many electricians around and afar. An electrical wholesaler sells stuff to electricians - according to the specifications and needs of the electricians (many times written down on long lists, taken by phone as phone-orders, emailed, etc) we order, prepare, and sell the electrical items an electrician needs. An electrical wholesaler gives advice to electricians - sometimes there are new products, new technologies, replacing items, better solutions, etc. We therefore offer up-to-date advice to electricians, functioning as a liaise between the manufacturers and the customers, and doing recommendations based on the needs and specifications. An electrical wholesaler offers support - we don't just "sell the stuff" but we also offer support. Some items may not be the right ones for the job - we accept returns. Other items may become faulty - we replace them. Others need user manuals and extra training to be used - we arrange that. And so on - there are many ways we offer customer support to electricians. An electrical wholesaler gives special deals - if you're a regular, if you buy large quantities, or in other conditions, we can offer electricians special deals! Come talk to our sales people and you will be satisfied with our prices! An electrical wholesaler gets you special items according to special requirements - we have to admit that we don't keep everything in stock, and especially the ones that need to be ordered as specials, we rarely bring in. But for all electricians (and all customers in general), we at Sparks bring in special items (dimming systems, grid systems, consumer units, Ryefield boards, etc) according to your special requirements. .... a friendly face, a warm welcome, and a good chat! Let's not forget about this aspect of the business - come in, let's talk about football :) or the weather :( or about anything else. All our sales people are "human beings", approachable, lovely to chat with, and warm at heart. Remember: the above do NOT constitute a comprehensive list of everything Sparks Electrical Wholesalers Ltd does for electricians, but it is a list that's worth putting out online!
