NAUMD | Network Association of Uniform Manufacturers and Distributors’ Post

Transforming the way people live, work and travel by building a frictionless and speedy experience; this is CLEAR. If you’ve flown through an airport in which CLEAR is operating, or attended an event at an arena where they are present, you’ll undoubtedly have recognized one of the CLEAR ambassadors leading customers to the front of the security line to skip the wait and be chauffeured through the checkpoint. When HPI began working with the team at CLEAR, ambassadors were utilizing uniform items off the shelf, which lacked several core functional elements that had been identified as requiring revision. Protecting CLEAR’s iconic blue and white coloration and professional appearance was set front and center of the rework.

Complexities of doing business have increased multi-fold in the recent past. Numerous factors are contributing to high degree of unpredictability and increased intricacy in our contractual relationships. Fierce competition has paved a way for positional negotiation strategies which are not yielding positive results in the long term. Hence, to cultivate a culture of success for both buyer and supplier organizations, we need to adopt a collaborative approach while negotiating our contracts. If you want to find answers to thought provoking questions such as "how to define success in a negotiation?", or "is it practically possible to adopt collaborative approach during a negotiation?", then make sure to join us for an interactive panel discussion on the platform of World Commerce & Contracting, where I will be moderating a discussion with established industry leaders Elle Jones, Fotini Kypraios FGIA FCG (CS CGP) & Jon Collis-Bird, CMMAP who will be sharing their invaluable insights and experiences on this topic. Thanks Sally Guyer and Tim Cummins for your vision behind organizing Collaboration Week and thanks Navisha Chauhan, Beatriz Lobato Castilla and entire #WorldCC team for all your help in planning and execution of this event. Event Details: Date: Tuesday, 11th June 2024 Time: 14:30-15:30 AEST, 10:00-11:00 India, 12:30-13:30 HKT, 16:30-17:30 NZST.

I was happy to see a familiar face at the CAI San Antonio Chapter Tradeshow. In a world where business relationships can feel transient, I'm grateful to celebrate 22 incredible years of partnership with Cynthia Burns, CMCA, EBP- a collaboration that began when I entered this industry in 2002. What's the secret to our enduring relationship? It comes down to three core principles: 1️⃣ Mutual Respect: We've always treated each other as valued partners, not just vendors and clients. This respect has fostered trust, open communication, and a shared commitment to success. 2️⃣ Expecting Greatness: Since the beginning, I knew I could count on Cynthia to deliver exceptional quality and service. Those high standards have never wavered, and that reliability is priceless. 3️⃣ Always Answering the Call: Whether I have a question, need guidance, or face a challenge, I know I can count on Cynthia for support. That unwavering responsiveness gives me confidence in our partnership. As we mark this 22-year milestone, I want to express my sincere appreciation to the entire First Citizens Bank team. #SBBHouston #BusinessRelationships #ReliabilityMatters
