Offering customers the right products at the right prices cannot be achieved without healthy supplier partnerships. Forming productive vendor and distributor relationships depends on many factors including accountability, commitment, information sharing, and trust. Too many suppliers in a category can mean inefficiency, increased paperwork, and hard-to-manage assortments. Too few suppliers in a category can mean not enough choices for consumers and no options for special circumstances. This session will discuss the best ways to go beyond basic buyer/supplier relationships to develop true “win-win” partnerships.
