New GP Coordinator needed - call for volunteer(s)
Posted: Tue May 24, 2016 7:31 pm
Folks,
Lots of you have expressed interest in more opportunities for Group Purchases here on the NewCaprice system. We're working with Karo of Holden Parts USA now on some initial buys, but I know that we still need to step up to the plate & get more active to better serve you.
Long story short, NavyLifer has expressed a desire to step back from his GP coordinator role for a while due to multiple issues he has going. So, I'm putting out a call for any volunteer(s) that would like to take the lead on Group Purchase coordination for our system. You'd be responsible for figuring out what people want GP's on, finding sources for the requested product(s) - naturally with assistance from any of us as needed, working with vendor(s) to get our members the best prices, and the additional EMAIL and occasional phone legwork necessary to insure everything goes smoothly with the GP process. And also moderating the GP forum section here. This does not mean that you have to stockpile any inventory in your garage or incur any personal out-of-pocket expense.
We're still a relatively small group of owners (considering the size of some of the bigger forums) and we are very lucky that the system is able to deliver a good level of service to our members. This is one area that I can say I haven't done my best at yet, but since we're growing I'd like to rectify that going forward. If you're interested in participating, drop me an EMAIL and we can talk further. I'm going to sticky this topic until we fill this slot.
Thanks!
Eric
