Prompted For Leadership Greatness: Volume 34, Building The Relationship

Three prompts for earning real vendor priority, the kind that shows up when inventory runs short or a delivery window is tight, long before you ever have to ask for a favor. This volume walks you through becoming the account a vendor actually wants to take care of, using the small ordinary interactions you already have to build genuine trust over time, and starting a new vendor rep relationship strong instead of letting it default to purely transactional. Written to work whether you deal with vendors directly or work through a centralized procurement team with far less direct contact. Part of the Vendor and Supplier Relationships shelf in the Prompted for Greatness library.
