Did you know? The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) has a Women & Minority Business Enterprise (WMBE) program to support consulting and purchasing opportunities for small businesses historically underrepresented in government contracting. Our blog post details our efforts and achievements for more equitable contracting & purchasing: The City of Seattle actively supports women- and minority-owned business enterprises (WMBEs) on City contracts as both primes and subcontractors. Each City department establishes plans and annual voluntary goals for WMBE inclusion in consulting and purchasing contracts. Looking for in-person networking opportunities? Look no further. The 2024 Reverse Vendor Trade Show is on Wednesday, November 13 (11AM – 3PM) at the Seattle Center.

Of channel revenue, 90% to 95% typically comes from just 5% to 10% of partners. Rather than diluting resources on recruitment, vendors should focus on developing their existing partner base.

There is a lot written about how to treat Customers - but what about Vendors? Vendor relationships are often overlooked. It is difficult to be a top performing company without top service from your vendors. The recent pandemic taught us the havoc supply chain disruptions can cause and how it hurts our service levels. If we treat our Vendors as Partners, we should know what is important to them besides price. We should be asking how we can help them service us better?

Why the Best Time to Connect with Vendors Is When You're Not Buying As a purchasing manager or decision-maker, it's easy to overlook the value of connecting with vendors when you don't have immediate needs. However, building rapport with vendors during these "off" times can be one of the most strategic moves you make for your business. The Challenge of Time Constraints When urgent purchasing decisions arise, the pressure to find a solution quickly can lead to hasty choices and missed opportunities for relationship development. In the rush to meet immediate needs, the focus on long-term vendor partnerships often falls by the wayside. The Value of Early Connections Engaging with vendors proactively, even when you're not in an active purchasing cycle, offers several key advantages: Evaluate options without pressure: Without the urgency of an immediate need, you can take the time to thoroughly assess vendor capabilities, offerings, and fit with your organization's goals. Build trust and collaboration: Early connections allow you to establish a foundation of trust and open communication with vendors, setting the stage for more collaborative partnerships down the line. Gain market insights: Proactive vendor discussions can provide valuable insights into market trends, innovations, and best practices that can inform your future purchasing strategies. Strategic Timing During Budget Cuts Contrary to common practice, engaging with vendors during budget cuts or when no immediate purchases are planned can be a highly strategic move. This is the perfect time to nurture relationships and lay the groundwork for future collaborations when budgets inevitably increase again. By cultivating these vendor relationships during leaner times, you position yourself for success when you're ready to resume spending. You'll have a network of trusted partners who deeply understand your business needs and are primed to deliver value.
