Award-winning sales intelligence software supplier, sales-i has joined forces with the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF), the UK’s leading trade organisation that represents merchants and suppliers across the building and construction industry.

The BMF, which has over 500 members ranging from small companies to national organisations, is also the primary provider of specialist training for all employees covering apprenticeships, product and selling skills, and managerial development.

John Newcomb, Managing Director of the BMF said, “I am pleased to welcome sales-i into BMF membership. It’s reassuring to see a number of our BMF members are already using their sales intelligence software and hopefully through their membership of the BMF these numbers will continue to grow”.

Paul Black, CEO of sales-i, comments: “The BMF is dedicated to supporting businesses across the building and construction industry and so are we. We created sales-i to help suppliers sell smarter, to improve sales performance through sales intelligence, and better compete – we’re delighted to partner with the BMF and very much look forward to helping more of its members do the same!”
