In this post, we describe an exciting development at partner company Simple Software. Also, Max relates a memorable War Story.

In this post, we discuss how LPS can assist companies in resolving the competing goals that pull Lab and Procurement in different directions. Also, Max resolves the the rather eye-opening War Story introduced in the last blog, "What's In It For Me?"

"What's in it for me?" is an easy trap to fall into, especially in an age of self-promotion. We are a distributor who will always treat you honestly and fairly, and stand ready, willing and able to help you navigate the market and get the most from your lab spend.

LPS has a new tool to assist customers in selecting the best chemicals at the right price. Also, CEO Max reveals the resolution of the war story introduced in the last post, "Has the Lab Supply industry lost sight of the fundamentals?"

At LPS, we focus on the fundamentals like Harry Gordon Selfridge, John Wanamaker and Marshall Field did. We focus on the “blocking and tackling” that is basic to our business: treating our customers with respect, and treating every order like it is our order.

In this post, we discuss various "programmed selling" schemes that large companies use, and speculate on their value (or lack thereof). CEO Max also shares a "war story" about an interesting customer interaction. Finally, we share some of the many reasons to come to LPS with your lab supply needs.
