Veja como você pode solicitar feedback de fornecedores sobre seu desempenho como profissional de sourcing.

In order to gather feedback from suppliers regarding my performance as a sourcing professional, I regularly organize feedback sessions. During these sessions, I address various aspects such as communication, responsiveness, and overall satisfaction with our sourcing process. I utilize structured surveys and open-ended questions to collect comprehensive insights and suggestions for enhancement. I prioritize maintaining confidentiality, while highlighting the value of their input in fostering ongoing growth and enhancing our collaboration. This approach not only allows for the refinement of strategies, but also promotes a collaborative environment where suppliers are appreciated, and their voices are heard.

It's crucial to keep the fair and concise feedback in maintaining strong, lasting relationships with suppliers. It's important to be clear about your intentions and how you plan to use the feedback, and to maintain a reputation for openness and transparency. Seeking feedback even after a sourcing process can help to demonstrate ongoing interest in your company from those who were not chosen as suppliers. However, it's essential to use this information as a tool for improvement and to show evidence of reciprocity. Failing to do so may result in the request for feedback being seen as a robotic formal words with no real intention to make changes.

The best way to contact suppliers is to know them better about their business and financial health. Once you have these data you can propose for virtual meetings followed by series of physical meetings as per need and bring mutual respect for each other. Things will move forward quickly and bring results as per desired.

I would recommend to create a structured survey with specific questions about performance, communication, negotiation skills, and overall professionalism. Allow open communication with suppliers so that they feel comfortable providing feedback. schedule post work meetings and regular followups will build more transparency and strong relationship.

A mon humble avis , dans cette catégorie, il faut définir les paramètres pour lesquels vous souhaitez recevoir des commentaires utiles par vos fournisseurs, ces derniers vont jouer un rôle crucial pour votre performance , définissez les objectifs des commentaires que vous souhaitez recevoir , communication ? Négociations ? Respect des délais ? Etc ...cette restriction va permettre à ce que votre fournisseur contribue avec des commentaires plus encadrés et plus utiles afin de ne pas disperser dans des commentaires dont vous n'aurez vraiment pas besoin pour votre carrière ni pour votre performance.

Feed back form on three core areas quality ,price and availability of raw materials how you have been successful to cater for

Once you have started a conversation with an international supplier and you want to get the conversation off to a good start and have the company take you seriously, you need to be honest. Communicate what are the particularities of your market and the parameters that are necessary to be able to work together.

There are protocol formats that are established based on the most important priorities for both parties that are shared with suppliers each year to be able to carry out an evaluation with parameters to be qualified.

Definir parâmetros claros é essencial para garantir que ambos os lados tenham expectativas alinhadas. Isso inclui especificações técnicas, prazos de entrega, condições de pagamento, qualidade dos produtos e quaisquer outros requisitos específicos da empresa. Parâmetros bem definidos ajudam a evitar mal-entendidos e a estabelecer uma base sólida para a parceria. Afinal, grandes parcerias, grandes negócios.

It seems to me the worst way to start a business relationship with a supplier, if you start hiding you are not doing your job well. Comments and surveys are fine for big data ... but factories and suppliers are people, treat them as you would like to be treated, and I don't think anyone likes not knowing who they are talking to. So show your face show your company and get the best fair conditions to make it a win-win business, if you don't do that you are doing something wrong.

To guarantee honesty, sincerity and that the message of opportunity is clear, the evaluation protocols must be anonymous and thus the comments are impartial, which in turn prevents the concepts issued from being biased.

O anonimato da oferta pode ser uma estratégia valiosa para evitar vieses e garantir que a seleção dos fornecedores seja baseada exclusivamente em critérios objetivos. Ao manter as ofertas anônimas, é possível focar na qualidade, preço e outros parâmetros importantes, eliminando preconceitos que poderiam influenciar a decisão final. Portanto, você começa a colaborar com seus parceiros e garantindo uma compra de alta performance, alta qualidade no menor preço. Isto eu chamo de "negócio inteligente".

Normally you have to use standard format, simple, easy to read, all inclusive, stress-free format, attractive format, direct and add value online.

In my case, factory visits are fundamental and direct contact is the best way for companies to succeed. Listening and seeing the reality of the other party is fundamental.

Embora a tecnologia facilite a comunicação, discutir pessoalmente com os fornecedores pode fortalecer as relações e permitir uma compreensão mais profunda das capacidades e desafios de cada fornecedor. Reuniões face a face podem revelar nuances que emails e chamadas de vídeo não captam, e ajudam a construir uma parceria mais sólida e colaborativa.

Actually I disagree with selecting one approach for all suppliers. We can’t be competent in the target business relationships or communication skills if we don’t understand the culture and how it relates to our own shared business culture.

Follow up, the supervision of every steps involved in the process until the delivery of the product. Follow-up is crucial to a business success. Know that the faster you follow up, the more likely you are to close deals. By not following up with prospects, you put your reputation at risk and you will force them to take their businesses elsewhere. Worse still, you are not just losing on that one transaction. For example, if an Insurance marketer abandons a prospect, they not only lose the commission on that transaction but miss out on any subsequent transactions, such as potential referrals. Follow up will help you avoid mistakes and problems and keep your inventory healthy and well optimized.

of course it is essential to monitor your suppliers, in reality a good buyer is like a salesman in reverse, but he must have the same principles and actions.

O acompanhamento é vital para garantir que os acordos sejam cumpridos e que a relação com o fornecedor permaneça saudável. Isso inclui monitorar o desempenho, resolver problemas rapidamente e ajustar acordos conforme necessário. Um acompanhamento proativo demonstra comprometimento e pode prevenir muitos problemas antes que se tornem críticos.

Actually I agree with serious follow ups because sometimes feedbacks may impact the industry as a whole rather than a particular company or business.

The most important thing in the end after receiving the evaluation and having reviewed it with the entire team is to establish the action plan with those responsible and the execution time to be able to overcome them and have them completely eliminated, in turn so that they are not repeated again.
