A quick note - Our solicitation service is available to clients who have already subscribed to the offering. Please do not utilize the below instructions unless it's part of your subscription!
If it's the first time you ask us to rate a private company...
- Fill in the Solicitation Request Template. You can download it here: Solicitation Request Template. If you've got our automated solicitation request portal, you will still need this information
- Send this spreadsheet to solicitation@rapidratings.com. If you are a secondary user or not the program manager please be sure to check with the program manager at your company for any internal criteria before initiating
- Send the solicitation introduction letter to the Target (do not BCC). You must cc solicitation@rapidratings.com on this letter.
We will not begin to email or call any of your Targets unless we are copied on the client introduction letter with the supplier. This means no BCC'ing either us or the Targets! |
If you have set up our automated solicitation request portal, you'll really only need to carry out steps #2 and #3. The information you gather in Step 2 will be input directly into the portal, and both the introduction letter and the relevant information will be sent once you click "submit" |
If it's an update to an already rated private company...
Email us at solicitation@rapidratings.com to request an update. Provide any changes to the existing information from the previous solicitation
Once you've initiated a Solicitation, you may want to keep tabs on it, or direct others in your organization to do so. Check out Step 4: Status updates |
