ISO
registration can open doors for additional sales opportunities. Being ISO registered demonstrates that your
company’s quality management system is a consistent and reliable process. Many companies looking for potential
suppliers will first look so see whether or not a company is ISO
registered. It gives them assurance and
confidence in that supplier.
Many
companies initially go for ISO as a marketing tool, if they are not required to
do it by a supplier. Other companies ask
– can I use this as a marketing tool?
Will this help me market in the United States or overseas? The answer is yes it will. Once you start developing your system, manual
and procedures, and you’ve trained people to do internal audits and are doing
management reviews, you may find redundancies in your processes, or you may
find that you can have a clear communication line from the bottom person up to
the top. This is a great way to get some
really good information, to streamline your processes, become more cost
effective, and a lot more efficient.
This is where the REAL VALUE is.
Potential
customers will know that through effective and efficient management of your
system you are assuring them that they get a quality product. It’s going to open up more doors for
potential customers because they are going to understand what you’re
doing. Some companies will not even look
at clients or other companies unless they are ISO registered. It’s similar to the idea that, in the job
market, a lot of companies won’t look at a candidate unless they have a college
degree. In this case your ISO
certificate is your degree.
ISO
Registration shows your company has invested time in developing a documented
system focusing on consistency, reliability, and to improve the way your
business operates. It focuses on
process, the customer, and improvement.
