I got this email today: "We are glad to inform you that your company has been shortlisted for “50 Best Companies to Watch 2024” by our news & research team." Did I jump with excitement? (Spoiler Alert: I did not)😃 This is the 6th consecutive year I received this. I think I have been shortlisted with 100 other companies. Awards and badges have been a part of my branding/marketing plan for a very long time. The ones within the logistics industry come around the same time every year and carry more credibility than these solicitations (This one was $2000). They don't cost that much time and money to do (Hint: $0). Don't buy #branding, please!! #logistics #top3pl #airfreight #greatsupplychainpartner #top100 #awards #branding

Kaleida Health recognized that they needed to optimize their purchased services contract categories and turned to Premier Inc.’s Conductiv® to reference their services pricing, develop processes to centralize this purchasing and avoid waste, and aggregate spend for best price contract negotiations. This ultimately drove $1.1 million in savings in 2023, and 15 initiatives have been identified for 2024, representing a spend of $64 million.

Last week, we had an incredible Supplier Negotiation class led by the brilliant Priya K. Kumar. Here are my key takeaways from the class: 1. Timing is Everything: The best time to renegotiate is when your business is growing—leverage that momentum. If volumes are dropping, it may not be the right time. 2. Build Relationships, Not Just Contracts: Negotiations are with people, not just companies. Find common ground, keep an open dialogue, and always aim for a win-win. Offer value beyond the deal—think feedback or participating in quarterly reviews to foster strategic partnerships. 3. Capture the Value: Ensure the benefits you negotiate—whether risk mitigation, cost savings, logistics, or process improvements—are quantified and shared with your team. Focus on quality over quantity. Big thanks to Priya for an amazing class! A quick reminder we offer global trade training every week at World Trade Center Denver. Next week we have a class on Working with Distributors and Wholesalers with Matt Clark . #SupplierNegotiation #BusinessGrowth #GlobalTrade #Partnerships #WTCDenver
