Rich and Ed meet a real life salesperson, Meir Ziskin, who is an expert in automation and robotics sales.  Mier will be answering all those salesy questions such as what makes a good salesperson; what does he really think of procurement people; how to stop “tyre kickers”; what does sales want from procurement; can salespeople be a buyer’s friend; do competing sales organisations really talk to each other about tenders, margins and whether to bid; what’s the hardest sell; and how to sell a pen.

Plus we have news from the world of procurement; our views on the US election (Make Procurement Great Again) and its possible impact on tariffs and pricing; CIPS stats and news of their new CEO; a new procurement on-line cult; and how Procurement Says No seems to be ideal holiday listening all around the world.

Have a listen and you'll also find out whether two humps are better than one.
