Linda developed, staffed and managed the purchasing operations at both Rheometrics and Nametre.

Your key vendors are critical to the operations of a business. Developing vendor relationships is mandatory if you expect the vendor to go the extra mile when an item or service is required. Therefore, it is necessary to convey to the vendor exactly what you expect from them and hold them to your requirements.Linda does not believe you can develop vendor loyalty by switching vendors every time a new vendor offers you $1.12 for the product you are currently paying $1.15 for. Conversely, it is management’s responsibility to insure that the pricing, quality, support, and service provided by the vendor are of the highest level.
