One benefit of management system registration is a better competitive
position in the marketplace. Unfortunately, improved positioning
does not appear by itself. It requires effort to get the word out,
and some understanding of the details of management system requirements.
Platinum Registration is here to help clients promote their management
systems, and provide information to marketplace regarding why their
registration is superior to competitors. Contact us for more information
on this free service.
Marketing Involvement
The effort to obtain management system registration is usually
expended by departments such as quality or operations. Yet in
most companies, marketing and sales personnel are responsible
for convincing potential customers to select the company.
In the end, quality personnel work to achieve registration, and
marketing is not informed of how registration distinguishes the
company from its competitors. Customers see announcements of, “we
are ISO 9001 registered,” without any details to support
why ISO 9001 registration is a benefit to the customer.
Communicate the Details
With its emphasis on customer satisfaction and continual improvement,
ISO 9001 is a tangible benefit to customers. The key is to communicate
in detail, supported by data, what those benefits are.
The details of improvement and success must be presented along
with the fact, “We are ISO 9001 registered.” Just as
an effective auditor evaluates specific information against precise
requirements, communication regarding ISO 9001 registration is
best done through specific data and precise benefits for the customer.
