What Has PurchTips Taught You This Year?
The end of the year is always a good time for reflecting on what you learned in the past 12 months and what you can do better in the coming year. Therefore, I am going to start a new annual tradition and make the last PurchTips of the year a "Best Of" edition.

Spotlight On Professional Development Opportunities
 |
Are you tired of not getting enough opportunities, respect, and money out of your purchasing career? Well, guess what? Nothing will change unless you take action towards becoming a world-class purchasing professional.
You see, today's employers refuse to reward employees for yesterday's skills. They demand that purchasing professionals like you use the most modern skills and achieve unprecedented results. They want you to save more money, achieve better operational performance, and reduce risk.
Earning your SPSM® Certification by completing the Senior Professional in Supply Management® Program is the action to take if you want to bring the most modern purchasing practices into your organization and achieve your career potential.
