What should a purchasing staff have
When it comes to purchasing, what is the reaction of most people? Anyone who pays for something will buy it? This statement is not completely wrong, procurement is not so easy to do, so what are the abilities that procurement personnel should have?
1. lead an honest and clean life in the face of various suppliers:
some suppliers will always try to lure purchasing personnel with money or other means to achieve their sales goals. If the purchaser can't control it, he may unconsciously fall into the trap of the supplier, but he can't dial it himself, and then he is at the mercy of the supplier. In the end, human desire for wealth is endless. There is a famous saying, which is worthy of our reference, that is: "You can fail in doing things, but you can't fail in being a man." We firmly believe that most purchasing personnel can lead a clean and honest life, otherwise the undeserved wealth will eventually be exposed, and such people will be spurned by the company and society, which will lead to personal ruin.
2. Grasp the market:
The circulation industry is an industry that sells all kinds of people's livelihood consumer goods to the final consumers, so there are many kinds of goods, which are changing with each passing day. Purchasing personnel must try their best to understand the needs and trends of the market through various channels and methods (including reviewing the suggestions and responses of store personnel, because they are closest to customers), instead of sitting in the well and watching the sky, like a frog in a well, thinking that a scholar will not go out and know what's going on in the world.
3. Careful calculation:
A famous person in a shopping mall once said, "It is better to buy than to sell", which has become a wise saying in the circulation industry. This sentence means that if the store staff make great efforts because the goods are wrong or the price is too expensive, it is not as easy as the purchasing staff to choose the right goods and buy cheap prices, because the customers have discerning eyes. Purchasing personnel must be careful. Although the supplier sacrifices a little profit, if the sales volume increases, the supplier still likes to associate with such purchasing personnel or companies.
4. be active and earnest:
the modern circulation industry emphasizes speed and efficiency, otherwise it will be eliminated. The purchasing staff will work with an active and earnest attitude, which will enable the company's products to be launched in a timely and appropriate manner and meet the needs of the store. Communication with the store needs this kind of work attitude.
5. Innovation and progress:
Shopping malls are like battlefields. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Losers may become losers, and winners may also become losers. In particular, the circulation industry needs purchasing personnel to have innovative (non-unconventional) thinking, strive to break through the status quo, improve their working methods and efficiency at any time with new ideas or ideas, and at the same time, strive to innovate in product mix, so that success can be ensured.
6. Strong adaptability:
Purchasing is a highly mobile position, which needs to be grasped by both the market and suppliers at any time. Developing new goods or suppliers is also one of the important responsibilities of purchasing, so it is sometimes necessary to travel here and there, or even go abroad to purchase. Therefore, purchasing personnel must have strong adaptability and be able to adapt to different environments, regions or countries, otherwise it is impossible to do a good job sitting in the office all the time. As a purchaser is fully responsible for the profit budget he is responsible for, the pressure can be imagined, and the purchaser must be able to adapt to this pressure. This is a tiring job, which means trying your best to do a good job, and labor refers to the physical load of moving around. To do a good job in purchasing, you must have this psychological preparation in advance. ;
