Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Promo Perspectives: New Supplier Guide
Q: How does the supplier rating system work and how can new suppliers leverage it to build credibility?
Distributors rate suppliers on customer service, delivery, and problem resolution within SAGE Workplace; ratings appear on the supplier's profile and can be filtered by rating; high ratings improve search visibility and trust, and early efforts should focus on quick responses and reliable service.
Promo Perspectives: New Supplier Guide
Q: What are the steps a new supplier needs to take to get listed in SAGE and become part of the network?
Fill out the new supplier information form, complete the Advantage application, provide industry credentials (PPAI/PPPC numbers or invoices from verified distributors), submit a product sheet, and provide a website; SAGE can help build supplier websites if one doesn't exist.
Promo Perspectives: New Supplier Guide
Q: So kind of starting at a really high level, what does supplier exactly mean in the context of the promotional products industry?
A supplier is the company that makes, imports, or provides the physical items and often handles decoration, while distributors work directly with clients to manage projects; decorators can also be suppliers if they hold inventory or provide services like screen printing or embroidery.
Bonus Episode: Using AI with William Rubsamen
Q: How should teams implement AI ethically and responsibly?
Establish clear guidelines, provide training, ensure transparency with stakeholders, and keep a human-in-the-loop to verify outputs and guard against misinformation.
Bonus Episode: Using AI with William Rubsamen
Q: What are the two major pillars of generative AI in marketing?
Text-based tools (like email and content planning) and image/video tools (for creative assets), with the most effective usage coming from combining clear goals, context, and human oversight.
