Because our suppliers are integral to the success of our partnership, Universal Unilink pays special attention to their selection. We’re looking for suppliers who will give members a clear advantage over their non-Universal Unilink competitors. Although we are looking for the best overall value, we do not always choose the supplier with the lowest per-unit price, as there are several variables involved in creating long-term supplier relationships.

Our program supplier selection process includes the following steps:

• Receive and review initial information from potential supplier.
• Survey members and discuss the nature of their business and product needs.
• Schedule a face-to-face meeting with the potential supplier.
• Obtain product samples (where appropriate).
• Receive feedback from members already using the product or service.
• Finalize an agreement.

Universal Unilink asks that suppliers meet the following requirements before an agreement is signed:

• Be able to serve the entire United States and/or Canada.
• Offer Universal Unilink Members a pricing program that is more competitive than any average independent company could receive on their own.
• Submit a monthly report detailing each Universal Unilink member’s purchases for that month.
• Attend our conference.
