RE: Improving our Subcontractor/Vendor Qualification Process
Dear (recipient name):
We are improving our Subcontractor/Vendor Qualification process, and we need your cooperation.
We have registered at a new website called jobsite123.com, and we are maintaining our company’s qualifications profile inside this new directory. Just logon to jobsite123.com and look us up. Our profile allows us to showcase our company’s complete qualifications, client performance ratings and industry relationships in front of the growing number of industry buyers searching jobsite123.com for commercial construction resources. The signup and listing process works the same for all construction-related companies – and it’s free for everyone.
We are confident that this new technology that inter-connects our companies (and the entire industry) will eliminate the tedious task of exchanging current information from each other via reminder letters and prequalification forms. In short, jobsite123.com will allow us to keep up with all necessary information from your company by simply looking up your company profile in jobsite123.com when we have a new project. For more information about how this new system will help both of our companies, and the entire commercial construction industry – watch this video:

We are excited about the efficiencies this new technology brings to our businesses, and we found the whole process to be easy to get up and running. However, if you have any questions – just contact jobsite123.com’s customer support people.
Thanks for getting started quickly and if you want to talk about this, don’t hesitate to call me.
