eLearning Series

A large percentage of small and micro businesses are run with manual and low-technology solutions. It is far too common to encounter purchasing systems and practices that use printed forms, spreadsheets, and word processing software. Little or no automated transactional or recordkeeping systems. To address this, we created this Vendor Management Systems Primer.

Lessons come complete with resources and directories. Vendor contact lists on numerous topic interests are included. We expect our subscribers who take these eLearning lessons to apply their new knowledge. And look up suppliers from the directories and discuss purchasing opportunities.

Some vendors will be asked to be featured in meetings with our subscribers.

Client-Supplier Mixers

We have a growing collection of subscribers working to enhance their businesses through procurement. Our approach is to provide knowledge, easier access to resources, and valuable connections to opportunities. One of our key objectives is to promote meetings with subscribers and vendors.

Vendors are being approached and invited to serve as speakers, making presentations, product demonstrations, discussing services, and fielding questions from our subscribers. These events will be virtual. Phone conference calls. Online video chats. Phone and video meetings will be recorded. Transcripts may be distributed on demand.

These meetings will be archived and accessible online. Videos may be added to our YouTube channel.
