Choose the right perspective
Match the person's metals and setting to yours, since buying primary aluminum for a rolling mill is different from buying steel and copper for an equipment or automotive parts maker. Ask each person how they priced contracts and handled market swings, so you can judge whether their approach fits your volumes and risk tolerance.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you structure metals contracts between index-based pricing, fixed prices and hedges?
- 02How did you pass metals price changes through to customers or absorb them, and who decided?
- 03How did you qualify and balance metals suppliers across regions when supply got tight?

You choose the offer, starting at $5 per person. It includes Instant Expert's 20% fee, so an offer that pays the person $100 costs you $125. You're charged only when the person books the call or sends the answer.
What if they don't reply?
You pay nothing. Instant Expert sends follow-up reminders, and if the person hasn't booked or answered within 7 days, the request expires and any hold on your card is released. You can invite several of the 10 people on this list at once and cap your total spend, so you pay only for the ones who accept.
