Top 7 Signs Purchasing May Not Be For You

Why not 10?  How much proof do you need?

1) Your monthly savings reports are always in negative numbers.

2) You thought "vendor terms" meant those conditions under which a vendor rep would go on a date with you.

3) You accidentally sent the acceptance letter to the one vendor everyone on the team swore they would never work with.

4) You called to negotiate lower pricing and the vendor talked you into paying higher prices and extending the contract.

5) You mixed up the information on two PO's you were typing.  The Training Department ends up with just one book for the class of 300 people, but the Receiving Department ends up with 300 forklifts for just one driver!

6) You proposal to save money by eliminating the copiers and giving everyone reams of carbon paper did not go over well.

7) You refused to bend the rules for the CEO's secretary when she insisted that the pens you picked on the office supply contract were not adequate.  (Wait, you just might have a future in this business after all, but probably at a new company!)
