"The expansion of our business with Louisville Forge was the result of your second tier program in general and your Opportunity Exchange in particular," wrote Roger Stone, Vice President of MBE Action Tool and Machine, in a letter to Toyota.
Acknowledging how Toyota's unique minority business trade show helped him land additional business with one of the automaker's Tier I suppliers, an appreciative Mr. Stone wrote, "The big breakthrough came when your Opportunity Exchange provided the opportunity for me to spend some time informally chatting with Walter McKee, Louisville Forge's Purchasing Manager. We got to know each other better and realized that we both saw potential for the relationship to be bigger than it was, and I think we both became committed to making it happen."
And make it happen they did, anticipating $500,000 of business for the year following that first informal conversation at Opportunity Exchange.
