How do you help others become successful?

The best way to change people opinions of you, your service, your profession is by helping others achieve.

To change the mind-set of the people around you, consider:-

What have you done to help them?

Make your goal to support others, help business functions become better, simpler, faster. Guide and support them offering the hand on the shoulder.

Ask yourself what have you done today to change another persons working life or support the business customers, strategies or objectives.

If you do not make an impact, you will not change peoples’ opinions.

Change the Mind-set on Purchasing

Right service

this means finding the suppliers that can service our customers on time, in the right manner and with the right product.

Right time

this means finding suppliers that can hit their SLA’s, KPI’s and carry out tasks during the right months to support our team.

Right Cost

to confirm this is the least important part of the triangle as if suppliers are able to offer all of the above I am prepared to

pay more for the service - although I agree we need to pay the correct market value.
