Tuesdays with Talia: a procurement solution that’s flexible and promotes visibility

Talia discusses how, when in search for a procurement solution, companies often give up either flexibility or visibility.

“During the last six or twelve months has had a lot of talk about payments. We are hearing about payment in the world overall and even more in the consumer market. Examples like Bit coin, Apple Pay, E-payments and all types of others. People are starting to look at it that it does not have to be done in the traditional way that it was done before.

Also, there is a huge move for companies to move away from paper check and away from processing. So when it comes to the meetings an events category this issue has been raised in conversation. The challenge with business is that there has been the traditional pay process and the payment has been the final and controlling peace. If you could ensure that the boxes have been checked with data and proper approval, then that is easy to control. If you do it the other way around and initially give the credit card followed by checking the boxes, you start looking for where everything is and it gets mixed up which creates challenges.

 

Tuesdays with Talia: Innovators vs Status Quo

Tuesdays with Talia: Innovators vs Status Quo

In our industry, there’s a battleground that some people don’t even notice: Innovators vs. the status quo. Attend a conference and ask the simple question, “are you willing to invest and partner to solve your problems or is what you do and how you do it okay for now?”

What are the different answers you’ll get?

Innovators are looking every day to get better and find better solutions for their current processes. They’re willing to take the risk and put a solution forward, even if it may fail. Being a trailblazer means you’re constantly trying and innovating.

The status quo is typically happy with the way things are and don’t want to ruffle current practices. They wait for others in the industry to do the heavy lifting and then adopt new practices once it’s mainstream. I don’t think the status quo even realizes or admit they’re in the status quo.

Great companies are innovators, not status quo. And they’re employees are innovators. I’m starting to see that companies who stand out as innovators cultivate innovative employees and management who are going to continue to look and bring new solutions to improve their company.”

Are you in the status quo or an innovator?

Tuesdays with Talia: preferred supplier programs from the supplier perspective

Tuesdays with Talia: preferred supplier programs from the supplier perspective

“Talia discusses preferred supplier programs from the supplier perspective.

A supplier program will create efficiencies, improve qualities, and create cost savings. Some of the ways that this would happen is based on how the supplier engages with others.

When I had my event company, I sought out companies that had preferred supplier programs for one main reason. Rather than having to hit every single stakeholder within the organization and reselling them repeatedly we would sell ourselves as a company that wanted to be a preferred supplier.

The efficiencies for a supplier to know that they are on a limited supplier program will in turn offer discounts and comfort knowing where they stand. A preferred supplier is only as good as their last event. Therefore, by giving feed back and allowing them to understand what they did wrong immediately, suppliers will benefit significantly for the future. Suppliers who receive immediate feed back after an event will improve their performance by over 30%. This improvement is due to two underlying reasons: One is that they need to know what they do and they need to know that you are measuring their performance. This allows them to continue their business while allowing you to continue building a strong relationship with these suppliers.

Overall, a preferred supplier program is beneficial to a company for these three main reasons: Efficiency, quality, and cost savings. 

Most importantly, true strong relationships are formed with customers through preferred supplier programs.”

 

Tuesdays with Talia: Why Do You Want a Preferred Supplier Program?

Tuesdays with Talia: Why Do You Want a Preferred Supplier Program?

Talia explains why you would want a preferred supplier program

“Another hot topic for companies is creating a preferred supplier program in their non-hotel categories. There has been great technology that came out allowing companies to E-RFP and better manage their hotel spend. However, that is just a fraction of what companies are spending their budgets on for meetings and events.

You have your production companies, your transportation companies, your DMC’S, and there has not been enough visibility into what that spend is specifically. How can one efficiently aggregate that spend? How can a preferred supplier program leverage that problem?

I think the question is why is this coming now? Why do companies not install this preferred program? I think there has been a couple challenges until now.

The first challenge was our priority. We started with hotels and tried getting hotels preferred.

The second challenge has been the lack of technology that would support a preferred supplier program amongst suppliers and allow for communication across the entire organization of preferred suppliers.

Now that there is technology in the world that can manage these challenges there is truly an opportunity for a company to be able to build this intelligent and efficient program.”
