Purchasing and Negotiation Training

Robert Menard, Certified Purchasing Professional, Certified Professional Purchasing Consultant

Many of us arrive at purchasing because we did well at something else; our reward for that success was a sentence to purchasing.  Many people outside our profession say silly things such as, “I worked in purchasing after college”, or, “It is no big deal, get three prices, do a little bump and grind, and off in a cloud of smoke.”  These are revealing comments borne of utter ignorance of the most powerful generator of profits in all of business, purchasing.  It is provable with simple economics.
