Free Supplier Communication Webinar This Tuesday!

If you’ve been in procurement long enough, you’ve encountered situations where orders don’t come in when you need them to, or where products don’t work out the way you had hoped, or you reach an impasse in a dispute with your supplier over how a contract should be interpreted. In many cases, right or wrong, the supplier gets blamed.

But could some of these problems be caused by poor communication on your part?

You bet they can.

However, there are some tips that, if remembered and implemented, can help avoid communication disasters that lead to those consequences. In this month’s NLPA members webinar, “Tips For Regret-Free Supplier Communication,” you will learn some common, yet often unanticipated, pitfalls in dealing with suppliers and how to avoid those pitfalls. Considering the time and money that can be lost when supplier interactions fail to go smoothly, it is well worth your time to attend this valuable webinar.

The webinar will be held on Tuesday July 31, 2012 at 11:30AM Eastern US time. This webinar is free to all members of the Next Level Purchasing Association (NLPA) and membership in the NLPA itself is free and instant.
