Regardless of the business you are in, vendors and suppliers play a key role in not only the success of your business, but also your own personal success.
You will gather information related to building vendor relationships that will best benefit your organization, such as knowing what to look for in reviewing agreement terms that protect your employer and mitigate risk. We will review areas that enhance your value to a vendor and how to make vendors and suppliers work for you. You will hear of several real-life examples of problems and success stories in building vendor relationships. There will be examples of win-win solutions where both the customer and the vendor benefit. You will learn to avoid pitfalls that can cause problems for you and your organization and about monitoring vendor performance to enhance the quality of the services they provide your company or agency.
