A Step-by-Step Guide to Evaluating Sellers with QC Data
Step 1: Populate QC Data for Every Order
Consistency is vital. For every item you receive from a supplier, perform a basic QC check and record the findings in the dedicated columns of your MyCNBox spreadsheet. Essential data points include:
- Store Name/Link:
- QC Status:
- QC Notes:
- Refund Requested/Received:
- QC Status:
Step 2: Use Filters and Sort to Analyze Performance
Your spreadsheet is a powerful database. Use its filtering and sorting functions to analyze seller performance:
- Sort by Store Name:
- Filter by "QC Status":
- Filter by "Refund Requested":
- Filter by "QC Status":
Step 3: Create a Seller Reliability Scorecard
Dedicate a separate sheet or section in your workbook to a Seller Scorecard. Manually or using formulas, compile key metrics for each store you've used:
| Store Name | Total Orders | QC Pass Rate | Refund Rate | Common Issues | Reliability Rating (e.g., A-F) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ExampleStore123 | 10 | 90% | 10% | Minor color variations | B+ |
| BadQuality_Supplier | 5 | 40% | 60% | Wrong item, Broken | F |
Step 4: Apply Your Findings to Future Purchases
This is the most critical step. Turn your analysis into action:
- For "A-List" Sellers:
- For "F-List" Sellers:
