CBS ADVANTAGES VOLUME
Volume Some examples : In BT’s top 100 Corporate Accounts T-Mobile Major Account Vodafone Silver Partner ESSO National Account FedEx National Account
CBS ADVANTAGES VOLUME KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge SME’s not targeted by suppliers BT not BT – CBS billed by BT on blue bill CBS supply all mobile networks – not restricted Are you dealing with the actual supplier?
CBS ADVANTAGES VOLUME KNOWLEDGE TIME
Time CBS Central Office spends time on each deal which would be totally uneconomic for individual companies. Time to investigate market and evaluate deals
Combined buying leverage of 1000+ members guarantees strong negotiating position. Large, varied volume allows multiple supplier options.
Members direct suppliers towards the Centre. Feedback from members gives a better, current view of markets. Size gives other advantages such as Corporate account management.
New opportunities • Field Force Automation The capture of field sales or service information in real time • Hosted Voice – “virtual” switchboard

Communication Secure, dedicated Integra area on CBS website. Deals updated on a regular basis.
Benefits Off-invoice savings provide immediate financial benefits. There are no sharing of savings unlike ‘ cost savings consultants’. CBS generates revenue stream from suppliers only, thereby requiring no Member investment. Constant monitoring of terms with suppliers
Examples 70% - nearly £3000 saved on BT 6ppl on Esso cards – with Esso but through a third party Parcels 32% again £3000 Mobiles best so far 38% Electric & Gas
Control Remains with the member – all terms are optional CBS is a voluntary group CBS suppliers must be competitive
