In short, the buyer to do:
We believe that successful procurement staff should have at least the following requirements;
1. Integrity:
In the face of a variety of suppliers, some suppliers will always be able to find ways to money or other ways to lure the procurement staff to achieve its sales objectives. Purchasing staff if you can not hold, may not consciously fall into the supplier's trap, and can not be dialed, and then at the mercy of the supplier
2. Mastery of the market:
Purchasing staff must strive to through a variety of channels and ways (including the review of the store staff's suggestions and responses, because they are closest to the customer), to understand the market needs and trends, we should try to utilize all the resources to master them, to do a good job of knowing the other side, then we will have a good understanding of the market. We should try to utilize all resources to master them, do a good job of knowing the other side, will be able to win a hundred battles.
3. positive and serious:
Purchasing staff to work in a positive and serious attitude, will enable the company's goods can be the right place at the right time to launch, in line with the needs of the store. Communication with the store more need this attitude.
4. Innovation:
The mall is like a battlefield, not to advance is to retreat, the losers may become winners, winners may also become losers. Circulation industry, in particular, the need for procurement staff can be innovative (not new) thinking, and strive to break through the status quo, at any time to new ideas or ideas to improve the individual's working methods and efficiency, while the combination of goods should also strive to innovate, so that success can be ensured.
6. Adaptable:
Procurement is a high mobility position, the market and suppliers must be mastered at any time, the development of new goods or suppliers is also one of the important responsibilities of the procurement, so the East and West, and even go abroad to purchase is sometimes necessary. Procurement staff must therefore have a strong adaptability, able to adapt to different environments, regions, or countries, otherwise it is impossible to sit in the office all the time to do a good job. As a purchaser is fully responsible for the profitability of the budget for which he or she is responsible, the pressure can be imagined, and the purchaser must be able to adapt to this pressure. This is a laborious work, labor refers to the brain to do a good job of paying, labor refers to the physical load of moving around, to do a good job of procurement, we must be mentally prepared for this in advance.
7. Solidarity and cooperation:
On the surface of the procurement work seems to be a separate operation, but people can not be separated from the group and live alone, procurement staff can not be separated from the company's overall operations, procurement must be harmonized with co-workers **** at the same time, each other's cooperation, support each other, the work of the purchase of the work can be unbeatable
