Thought I'd share with you this information about an upcoming, complimentary webinar from IACCM about something near and dear to our hearts, the business value conversation. Take a look below at the webinar description from the IACCM website:
Wednesday 4th September 2013
4:00 PM London, 5:00 PM Paris, 11:00 AM New York, 11 PM Singapore
What happens when procurement and sales talk ‘value’? More often than not, procurement will argue that sales will talk ‘value’ without quantifying it. Sales will argue procurement doesn’t want to pay for value and is ultimately seeking lowest price...
In most organizations, the term value is overused and not delivered upon, largely not because the buyer or seller only offer lip service, but because of existing company culture, metric and reward structures.
But we all want value, right?
We have invited two great IACCM Americas conference speakers, representing value selling and value buying, to debate how you can spend less time negotiating and more time on buying, selling, delivering and receiving value.
Join the debate! With:
- Lisa McLeod Author; Business Coach; President, McLeod&More (Sales Perspective)
- Todd Snelgrove, Global Value Manager, SKF Group (Procurement Perspective)
Discussion Host: Roselle Harde, Director of Development, IACCM
