When I first started working, I worked for my family’s business. I thought that it would be fun. A job is a job, and they were family, right? I soon realized that it was more than I bargained for. I decided college would help me find my way. I studied a subject that interested me but did not offer careers I wanted to spend time on in my years to come. While in college, I took a job in the industrial sales market for rent and food money. A week into this job, I noticed that I knew a lot about the product and knew how to relate with people. This job turned into a six-year career. While in this career, I noticed the things I excelled at and the parts I continued to work on. Buying/Purchasing for a company is not just creating sales orders or purchase orders. I look for patterns of usage and find ways to improve the company's operations as well as take to the surrounding area for local vendors that can help me and the customer make better buying decisions. Developing relationships with vendors is a great way to delegate work so that I can continue to find more ways to help the customer with savings in any department. The overall goal is saving cost, whether that is with time spent or actual price of items purchased. If you believe that I can be a help to you or a company that is looking for a buyer/purchaser, please get in touch with me.
