Procurement, of which there are several different types, is the act of obtaining goods or services, usually for a business. According to workplace stress, procurement and the supply chain industry is a stressful environment. But it shouldn’t and doesn’t have to be. There are several steps to follow in order to make the procurement and RFP process easier and more stress-free, but what are they and how do you get started?

On this episode of InTouch with Entouch, host Tyler Kern chats with ENTOUCH’s Todd Brinegar, EVP Sales and Marketing, about breaking down the steps in procurement and making it easy to generate RFPs. Kern and Brinegar address…

“So, it’s really, you have to give the flavor of your organization when responding to an RFP but in the RFP process, you also need to provide an avenue for a company to really tell you who and what they are and what they mean to your organization, not as a tactical solution but a long-term partner,” said Brinegar.

Brinegar is a global sales and marketing leader, paving the way in marketing sustainable solutions with ENTOUCH Controls. He has over 15 years of directorial and management experience in the sales and marketing sector. Brinegar is a graduate of Hillsdale College where he earned his BA in Communications, Marketing, and Economics.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments
