As you might know I’ve been actively promoting the SmartBuyer network recently. In short their mission is to connect Procurement professionals so we can all get the best deal. It’s a win-win situation and I love to see people sharing knowledge to help each other out. Especially when it’s Procurement people - we have so much commercially useful insight compared to the other indirect functions. Finance are great in what they do, but they don’t know the detail on a supplier’s rates or levels of quality (and that’s scratching the surface of what a good Procurement function can bring). Anyway, we’ve all brought value to our stakeholders but how often have you delivered that same insight to someone in your network? What did you get in return? Do you think if we shared that knowledge we could all benefit? This is what SmartBuyer is trying to achieve. Let’s share knowledge and make life easier for each other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 🌐𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐁𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 A unique platform connecting Procurement clients with a network of experienced Procurement professionals, no commitment, pay as you go, by the hour.
